Adam Ondra #86: Tips for Better Clipping / Sid Lives 8c+

The next episode is about a short route called Sid Lives 8c+ or 9a. It is very cool climbing on slopey holds and crimps, requiring weird body tension. The episode is also spiced up with tips on how to clip better, faster and more efficiently.

Adam's quickest way to clip? Skip that one and climb up to the next bolt...

[aspuzling]

I love how Adam just casually repeats and downgrades a 9a in the middle of a tutorial on clipping.

[mkadlec]

Love the first bolt trick of pre-clipping!

[CollinGill]

that first bolt trick where you climb up with the quickdraw already on the rope is so cool! i never would have thought of that in a million years on my own lol

[foihdzas]

I definitely always clip right after the crux, before I rest. Probably because I’m gassed, but I’ll give resting a shot before I clip. Thanks for that Adam

[gabrieleboglino]

I think it is a very important to consider the way the route goes to face the gate in the right direction, while in the video Adam says to put the gate just thinking about a fast clip.

[ripapa]

During this clipping tutorial, let me take a moment to downgrade the route I'm on.

[MaxPhotograph]

Gate away from the direction of the next bolt is considered the safe way, most people watching this..should probably consider safety over speed.

[bentoomey]

I was expecting the same old basic clipping tips, but these were really helpful small details that rarely get repeated elsewhere. Thanks so much! The old saying goes "those who can't do, teach, " and I'd add that usually "those who can do, can't teach." But you're proving me wrong.

[andersonboy]

Adam, the trick of pre clipping the rope is wonderful! Your advices are so useful, thanks so much!

[andihofm]

adam, i really appreciate the way you "perform" in the climbing scene. the way you reflect the things, the way you climb, the way you live the thing you love ...
in this clip you teach clipping mostly from a performance perspective. 
when we look on the direction of the bolt-carabiner - especially in the often more vertical climbs in the 5th or 6th grade - that

[potential]

I have learned to clip the gate against the climbing direction! Otherwise there is a chance to clip out the rope when you fall.. Difference is.. Adam never falls...

[Yokaiyt]

Thanks so much for the tips! It will be awesome if you can show your climbing knot. I'm a heavy guy and the 8 knot it squeezes a lot
when I fall. Best wishes Adam.

[cedricthoreau]

Yeah the first bolt trick is really cool. Thanks Adam

[orblyworbly]

The “pre-clip in” for the first clip is awesome! Thanks for all of this! 😊

[stonemonkey]

8:00 I´m on the ropes for 26 years now, and that´s a neat little trick I haven´t seen before. Learned something today!

[ericconnor]

I was taught clipping with fingers and have tried clipping with thumbs recently. Still need to practice it more. I feel like clipping with fingers increases the pump you usually get from climbing while the thumb is a different movement.

[jimbojet]

Great advice from Adam there. So logical and easy to understand. Thank you Adam.

[ScratchRick]

Thabjs for the tips! Im going to start lead climbing soon and this was really helpful.

[DonPrus]

Nice tutorial! Still waiting your collab with Magnus 🦾
