Watching this I had the realization that we're so lucky that the greatest climber to ever live is also so passionate and insightful about climbing, and willing to have a camera crew following him around so we can watch these amazing documentaries completely free of charge. Adam is the GOAT in so many ways.

@AdamOndra You should definitely make a couple of videos listing your top 10 routes and boulders at some point.

Big ups to Robert for the vision and insanity to ring bolt such a classic yet futuristic line. This looks like science fiction kind of climbing and if even Adam struggles to fight himself ring to ring it must be proper proper hard. Big ups Robert! What a legend

Adam is the only climber I watch with complete awe. I've never seen someone with so much love for their sport. Aside from the immense skill, seeing the look in his eyes as he talks about the route is beautiful. I get into climbing slumps every now and then, but watching Adam's passion always makes me want to go outside and climb again. Thank you, Adam. 🫶

14 years ago already, when I saw the pictures of Robert's first ascent, I thought to myself: "If anyone were capable of and motivated to do the redpoint, it would be Adam. Maybe Robert should invite him one day." ... To finally see this happen, and to see the excitement Adam shows while climbing the route, just makes me happy.

For anyone who likes to know more about Robert Leistner there is a really cool film about another project of his on youtube called "Rotpunkt - die Vertreibung der letzten Idealisten". The Saxon Alps are where I first got in contact with rockclimbing and bouldering (I wouldnt call it my home crac, I still had to drive quite some time to get there from Dresden) and it is so cool to see it featured in a video with Adam :)

Everytime I watch one of your videos I try to make sure I don't take it for granted how lucky we are to be continuously told the most beautiful climbing stories in such beautiful videos by the GOAT of climbing

“The footholds are consistently bad and also slopey” shows Adam standing on basically atoms
