I think we've been over conditioned to hand out top marks to the point we can't even differentiate anything. "10/10" isn't "I'm happy with it", it's literally the best anyone can possibly achieve. I don't give out perfect marks easily (so I don't review products/people often because it's actively harmful to them), but things like set the record for highest grade flashed in an area is actually 10/10.

Hey, didn't Ondra say that he would come back? I reckon he will design his own crack volumes with euroholds, set up his own cellar, drop that parcel with his own style cracks, extend the 9a proj in the cellar and flash that beast of an english crackathlon! Don't underestimate the o-dog ;). Thank you for all the videos, it was a blast and a dream come true! PS: I would not be surprised if Adam found a 9b or harder with some very serious portion of crack climbing.

Also in a world of now clinical gyms, I think Ondra appreciated the oldskool feel. Much like when he visited the schoolroom. You should have asked him if he planned to move to Sheffield, the home of real climbers!

I hope adam returns for another session sometime. He made us proud and seemed to be challenged too. 👍🔥💪

It's a mission to work out when Tom slips into joking mode I swear, always gets me 😂

2:30 Tom doing the Macarena. 😆

Thank you guys again so much for putting together this series - it was really great to watch! I also love the final break down of all your thoughts on how it went. I really appreciated the thoughts you guys had, especially the reflection back on Century Crack. It's funny how you sometimes don't realize certain things until someone else hops on and you can view it a lot more objectively. Either way, it's really awesome insight. I also think the seed has most certainly been planted :). Cheers!

I love adams energy! Every single time i see that guy he is smiling. What an inspiring person to be around

Unlike most climbers, I think Adam is foreseeing a point in the progress to Olympic gold where everyone is presented with a huge crack on the wall. With all the insanity route-setters have been having to do to separate these monster climbers, a serious crack is a logical next step. He wants to be the best prepared in the world, so the cellar is the only place to go.

Can O-grades be downgraded if Hugo does it faster?

I'm unsurprised with his interest in the bridge roofs. In his youtube bit on that arrette off a highway he looked so excited to be buildering!

more and more i realize that adam is so good because of his just pure passion for the sport

Really enjoyed your diagnosis of the Ondra visit 🤩 Also, the banter! Lovely!

It's been fantastic to watch, keep up the great work boys!

You two are such a genuinely hilarious duo !

Love this format, laughed so much.

Why did Adam use the speed climbing shoe for the project, when he clearly had TC pros with him for the century crack simulator?

Love this kinda video, you guys are a pair of legends. ❤

The O grades are very much like Gill's original B grades for boulders, which was superceded by Font and V grades. People prefer an open ended ladder system.

Seeing the O-Dog himself in the crack cellar and making a great job of it, has been the highlight of my armchair KZreadry year thus far. To job guys.

Glad you realised you can give your own scores Pete!

I don't think Honnold would be specifically good at the climbing part, but he's so funny I'd watch it anyways! (Obviously not saying he's bad at climbing, just that his area of excellence has more to do with heights and fearlessness than horisontal cracks in a cellar. Although it's been said many times that nothing is safe in the cellar, so maybe the risk would still suit him 😆)

I was hyped for this series too! "only 2 more days until Ondra arrives" lol

QUESTION!!!? How many guests have you had try the century box and how did they do?

It's hard to forget a concept that strong!😂👌🤣 best line I ever heard

Good to know I will forever be climbing O-zero's 😂😂😂 that's it for my grade progression

On the bridge crack subject, don't forget there's the famous bridge arete in his home town. I think he is nostalgic about concrete.

Maybe to support the O-Grading system, there could be an A (for Adam) grading system, with the highest being A-9a (totally different to font), and then anything harder than that is O-0. Fills the gaps perfectly

the perfectly cut laughs from the cameraman are premium content.

i just wanna say that even though i'm not gonna see this yet bc i have an arrangement with a friend to watch these videos together, the clickbait is a masterpiece jajajajajajajajajaajajaj

Ondra loves Bridges obv. Watch him showing magnus the ultimate bridge bouldern.

ondra needs to react to this^^

"it was a dream come true, it was one of my highlights.....of that day" had me cracking up =D

It's nice to see Tom and Pete together. Lots of recent videos have been just one or the other (still great!), but I like seeing old friends hanging out and giving each other shit.

I feel like everytime i heard "I struggle to give 10s", the heart was screaming for a 10 but the brain said "You can't accept the idea of perfection" 😂 Though IDK if 10/10 is perfect in things like this, more like so much better than you could've anticipated 🤷

I have one small problem with the all important O grade though, when Hugo grows up and starts setting a new standard of climbing. Which Ondra will the O grade refer too 😬

@rapple37

9 ай бұрын

As they said, once an O-grade is set, it can never be changed. And if Hugo flashes a climb, but Adam had done a session on it in the past without a successful completion, O-2, because all Ondra sessions count, regardless of which Ondra it was.

“And he couldn’t even think to turn up in a propa pair of shoes” 💀

How about having Seb Bouin? He has been killing it recently!

I love this video! Perfect 9/10! :P

That does really cry for bridge cracks from czechia...

Adam ondra is an amazing role model ❤

Good to see Ondra got an A overall 😉

how well did your predictions on the O grades for the specific problems turn out???

How big is the cellar? It looks huge! Is the house above it giant, or do you have access to all of the neighbours cellars? You should do a walk through video, unless you already have, in which case I apologise for my ignorance

Haven't even finished the commercial yet but i already know this is an absurd clickbait which must be the precursor to a great video

If Adam does ever do Century Crack, he would be well prepared for a return to the cellar for a proper session.

Oh my god you two! 😂

You guys have no idea how good you are. If Ondra is your 10, then you are between 9 and 10. You are not average. We are...

Didn't make it 1 minute into the video before the wife gave me the "wtf did he just say" face.😂

Everyone, we need to change every single climbing grade on the climbs Ondra has done, to the O-grade on April 1st (on the wiki, and other places if u have access)

Can't wait for the next collab in the Czech Republic!

The O grandes are amazing ! But if the problem is there is too much between 0 and 1 maybe the solution is to change from sessions to attempts. It also starts super high level but the O1 would be a flash, and a 2 session project could already be like a O20. Almost like changing the 0 to 10 scale to a 1 to 100.

@asdfxyz_randomname2133

9 ай бұрын

Also make the O-grade both continuous and logarithmic (base 2). Then, if Adam competed a problem just barely in 1 attempt, that would be an O-grade of 0, and for easier problems, there would be negative O-grades, and the numbers wouldnt' get that high, so if Adam needed 32 attempts, that would be an O-grade of 5.

Awesome collaboration. But referencing his outdoor exploits on grit without video is a tease. Found it on Adams channel though, it beautiful British weather!

How absolutely funny you guys xD

Personally I grade my climbs on how long they take or if I can’t do it. It’s at(x) to rate based on how many attempts S(x) for how many sessions NA is if I couldn’t complete it, I’ll usually return to those in a month

Such a journey on Pete rating Adams likelihood to return.

Ondra power grunting his way down the chimney

"Ondra's gonna come in my cellar"

was this filmed in winter? or is it just really cold over there?

O-grades below zero are the way to go for 8a or less, let me climb my 0-(minus 120) and I am using it 😂. The way to rate it is "how many of these can Ondra flash within a single session" - negative. Just throwing it out there. Thanks for the laughs and great content!

Great Video but I struggle to give 10s so going for a strong 9

You should get Honnold in the cellar

When you did your video with Stefano. The holds that Adam gave you were already attached. Stefanos video is from 5 months ago.

I struggle to give 10s... priceless!

ME! ME! 🥳I had the idea with the stove - having an egyptian big toe is a burden otherwise if you are sold for one pair of shoes you really want to use. I also made my rain boots fit more sock quantity on the toe top with that 😬 You have to think material, material can be shaped - every material at least that was shaped by mankind before.

I think the “O Grades” will mean something to everyone BUT Adam. It would be a bit narcissistic of him to agree to the concept, if you think about it.

What happens to the O grade if the climb passes to the next O generation and completed by Son of O?

If you boys don't go to Czech to climb bridges with Adam I will be sorely disappointed

I struggle to give tens....eleven.

Hey Pete, would you say you struggle to give 10’s? Not sure if you mentioned it or not 😂

So are all aid routes O-0 or O-X?

I think for O grades to be legitimate, the session takes for a new grade should be exponential. Basically 2^(Grade - 1) sessions. For example, O5 would take 2^4, which is 16 sessions. This way we can grade literally every climb but the grades would't go over the charts. Like, an O11 is 1024 sessions, that would take maybe 10 years considering climbing season, health, life, etc.
