Niobe 9a - Most Slabby 9a Climb in the World | Adam Ondra

Hey climbers and fans, join this channel to support ✊ our production, enjoy bonus content and get access to my Tips & Tricks videos, where I am teaching you how to climb better ⏩ @adamondra I have never imagined this, even in my wildest dreams! ✨ I am going back in time to climb what is possibly the most slabby 9a in the world, called Niobe. Arco is nowadays famous for the Rock Master competition and steep overhangs in Massone☝ But Arco's fame as a climbing area began with slab climbing, which feels like a lost art from the '80s. The era of neon leggings, shiny hoodies, cool music and elegant demanding climbing on smooth rock slabs ✊ Watch the new masterpiece video by Jan Šimánek on our YouTube channel, produced in collab with ‪@mammut‬ (thanks for a cool outfit), and enjoy an exceptional climbing trip into the past, present and future of slab climbing. Toward the lines that don't yet exist, towards slabs that are so difficult that no one has dared to try them yet ✌ ENGLISH SUBTITLES AVAILABLE IN THE VIDEO SETTINGS ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA❗ 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - ACT 1 - The Past 01:30 - Sentierissimo 7a, Arco, Italy 02:30 - Heinz Mariacher (Climbing rock star, climbing pioneer) 04:50 - Tom and Jerry 7c OS, Arco, Italy 06:27 - Bolting 08:36 - ACT 2 - The Present 10:10 - Project L1 8a+/ b FA OS (bolted by Loris Manzana) 14:10 - Loris Manzana 16:38 - Niobe 9a, Arco, Italy 21:30 - Why Niobe? 22:42 - Nicola Segatta (Composer, cellist, writer) 23:56 - ACT 3 - The Future 26:05 - Outro Check out ‪@mammut‬ YouTube channel ⏩ @mammut Enjoy themed T-shirts with my signature on my AO e-shop ⏩ https://eshop.adamondra.com/ with some discounts and my AO Photo Book, posters, photographs, cool signed brushes, chalk bags and more.
