Hardest Route in Croatia - B je to! 9b | Commented Climb by Adam Ondra
Спорт
B je to! is a route that I bolted on summer vacation back in August in an impressive cave of Vranjača in Croatia. ✊ Back then, I had no time to finish it off, so I returned in late September for colder conditions. On the second day of the trip, I tried really hard and despite multiple moves where I was about to fall off. I did not fall and clip the chain of the first Croatia 9b. ✌

B je to! 🤣 "A je to!" is a reference to an ancient.. chechoslovakian animation series, which is a proper nod on its own already - but upgrading this name to "B je to!" is next level, it happens to translate in slovenian/croatian directly into "this is B!", which is cool since, you know, the grade of the route itself.

@@leoingsonAncient??? Ok, I watched it when I was young, so it may be a bit old, but it's not like the moonlanding is ancient history. Moreover, all my kids enjoyed this series. I even went to a movie theater recently where they showed some episodes. In Holland though, they did add an extra layer by having a voice over added that is really good and adds an extra layer that is fun. Ok, and I guess I must accept that I am just very old...

My guess is he’s avoiding extra friction on the rope by not clipping when he knows he will have a safe fall. Wish I was that confident lol.

@@ReachForInfinitenah I think when he climbs a really hard combination of moves, he doesn't want to clip on top of that 😅
Second crux looked absolutely horrendous, amazing send! I hope Adam doesn't lose the hunger he clearly still has. If Chris Sharma can send 9b+ at 42, there's no reason why Adam can't continue pushing for insanely hard routes into his 40s also, meaning we have at least another decade if he stays healthy.
I'm from Croatia, but I never climbed at home because I could not afford it - only when I moved to Canada 10 years ago, my journey on the rock started, and I was already 30. Now I can't image my life without it :) I climbed for the first time in Paklenica, and in Croatia in general, last year and it is amazing. Thanks Adam for contributing and promoting Croatian climbing scene, your legacy is cemented in our sport. Such a role model for many. Best regards
Commented Climb videos are my favourite. Thank you Adam.
It's awesome that the best climber in the world also has some of the best production quality and video content on youtube!
Another great video, this route looks insanely hard good to see you’re still pushing the limits after so many years at the top 🤙
Adam, you are a spectacular ambassador for your sport.
Man, the runouts are wild

@@martincapek6640 The Czech sandstone area on the border with Germany is also insane. Terrible rock in many areas, with the first bolt several meters off the ground. An absolute nope for me.... but not like I could even climb anything there anyway!
12:40 is such an awesome and wholesome moment. The climbing itself is amazing, but I love the fact that they put in the work to tell the story behind the climbs and areas and explain its significance and impact on the areas that Ondra visits.
Díky za nové video. Je vidět, že tvůj postoj k lezení se s časem pěkně vyvíjí, děláš čím dál víc pro komunitu a investuješ do toho neskutečně moc snahy. Všichni v Čr jsme za to neskutečně rádi, kéž by stejný přístup měli i další sportovci. Budeme ti dál držet palce. At máš dost energie na lezení a na fanoušky ;)
So incredibly humble and a great mindset which stems from a simple love for climbing - you're an inspiration
Vranjača is truly stunning!
Everytime I'm nervous I'm out of climbing videos, Ondra comes with more heat 😌
Another amazing video and climbing. I'd love to see you climbing in Jura, Poland. The hardest route here is VI.8+ which translates to 9a+ in french. Almost half of the Poland's hardest routes are in one place - limestone cave called Mammoth Cave. It would be a great pleasure to watch a video of you climbing in this region 😅
It's funny, today I watched Adam's old videos and thought: it's been a long time since he climbed route 9b. And here it is 😊
Igor just seems like a total legend
The skipping of draws is driving me crazy 😂
Adam Ondra, you always inspire me to push myself to climb harder. Thanks for your videos.
Vranjača may be a reason for Croatian climbing to grow, but to my thoughts a bigger reason for the increase in popularity of climbing in Croatia would be Adam Ondra!! Great video as always and an amazing ascent. Loved it.
Another great video! Thanks for showing everyone these climbing gems most people havent heard of!
Great video and an even more beautiful crag! Thanks for the inside. Looking for the next one!
Krásné video!
It was a beautiful and inspiring mini documentary of the journey. Congratulations
Very good quality content and great climbing ! Amazing route and place
Great video
Good job 👏💪
Another beautiful video, I love how humble you climbers are. Think one of the most respectful sports there is. Greetings from the Netherlands👋
Skvělé! Díky!
I have been to Vranjaca this summer and have to say, its just crazy good! And guys, don`t be afraid to go there.. some of the best routes i climbed in Croatia between 7a and 7c there as well! You don´t have to climb super hard stuff just because it`s a cave. And the cave is worth it a visit just by itself! :)

Such a great climb Adam, congratulations!!! As I Saw you are now in Spain, It would be awesome a video climbing with Ramonet, one of the BEST and strongest 🤟🤟
super video hlavně nechápu jak můžeš lézt ty trasy
Climbing area be like "Yo, we have this giant cave." Adam: "Say no more". Got to love adam and his hard routes.
really good synchronisation dialogue with t climbing… ace
Awesome! Looks super hard
really nice video
What a beautiful cave.
Neck looking as majestic as ever Mr. Ondra.
That first knee bar split your knee open, that’s wild! 6:48, it just keep bleeding more and more You’re a monster bro!
If Adam starts bolting there's gonna be many more hard routes to climb, 9a to 9c and maybe more... Can't wait!
와우~~ 멋지네요~~
That run-out was insane
A je to? Sick Buurman en Buurman reference
People gonna skip that upper crux and go straight into the rest out left. Super radical run outs and power climbing man!
nice run out
skips like a 100 quickdraws until the next clip, what a legend.
funny how adam is like "this is where i did many of my first lower grades, like 6a, 6b, 7c"
respect
Other people on vacation in Croatia: weather was good, sea was nice, we really enjoyed it... Adam on vacation in Croatia: ...anyway, I started bolting.
Unreal
Vaya triceratops estás hecho ondra!
Awesome video and if you want to develop something maybe in japan I would be happy to have you and take you around. I Own a small rock climbing gym in Iwanai (Japanese meaning surrounded by rock) and are planning on developing a lot around my area. but you should also talk to Yuji Hirayama he also an area he is developing and Chris Sharma was at the crack etc. You should totally get together and creat something epic. All the best to you and family and keep up the good work

Not that Ondra cares a whit what I think, but would love to see him go to Joshua Tree and work New Deal and G String. Those old Coz testpieces deserve the exposure.
Nice Adam love these vids! whats the hardest 9b you have sent? the closest one to 9b+ but not quite there
Hey Adam congrats! By the way, as a child I adored the cartoon "A je to" 😄 But if the road takes you to Istria... there are several interesting routes in Dvigrad, the most famous of which is "Malvazija" by Manolo. I believe you would find it interesting
‘Varanjaca doesn’t have a lot of kneebars’ -does 3 kneebars on the route
"i wasn't really that nervous" meanwhile the rope under him that hasn't been clipped for 6 meters.
🍀🍀
Adam you are a legend that leaves a legendary path behind your back and some will follow 💪🏼 you are a inspiration to many and someone to look up to in many ways...congrats on doing B je to! 👌 all the best from Makarska,Croatia 💪🏼❤

Lol. The route is bolted with little sense. From rest 1 you can skip crux 2 and go directly on the left to rest 2 just passing 1m below the crux 2 moves. Wanted to do 9b at all costs probably...
