Adam Ondra's 🇨🇿 Crack Climbing Technique!

Adam Ondra tops M4 at the 2019 Meiringen Boulder World Cup!

He was able to do it because he climbs a lot outdoors. Jamming is one of basic outdoor climbing skils and he is good at it as a great outdoor climber. He knew he will do it from the moment he saw it. Others spend too little time climbing outdoors

"Moment he touched the crack 😊"

Meahwhile me 💀

[secretsecret]

Of course he can top it, he's good at crack climbing

[ImBuanana]

Amazing how effortless he made that look.

This was such an amazing moment at the world cup finals, Ondra just cruising this problem with everyone else not being able to top it.... Just Epic!

Seeing crack techs at comp climbin events is really cool. I’d love to see more crack volumes with other jam sizes, especially fist+hand and larger. I’m just imaging how cool to would be to have an off width sized wideboys volume on a comp climb.

I'm from Czechia and I was at a climbing center and met him there. He almost fell on my head, then apologized. It was a funny encounter, cuz then I didn't even know who he was lol We both laughed it off and he was very chill

[kaaskop]

so endearing to see him be so happy with his achievement, too :)

Wish my gym set more cracks like this. I don't know why a lot of climbers don't like cracks. They feel far more secure than a lot of other types of holds.

Minor correction: you said hand jamming and then described a bunch of crack-climbing techniques. Hand jamming is one particular climbing technique that involves placing a hand into a crack. Using your arm would be an 'arm bar' or 'chicken wing', hand and fist would be a 'stack', using the feet is unsurprisingly a 'foot jam'.
That said, the technique used by ondra on this climb was a hand jam.

So the Wide Boyz cellar visit really paid off, you love to see it <3

Adam is one of the most incredibly versatile and talented climbers to ever live. An absolute animal.

[collegeoffoliage]

He's been hanging out in the wide boys' cellar!

[feelinghealingfrequences]

hand jam so easy
but it is a trick to be learned over a year or more

[TRGGRED]

the guy at the end on the left was not happy XD

I love how pete is used in half of the crack climbing clips

[morgydee]

It's crazy that realistically this crack was prolly less than V6

[invisible]

that thumbnail made me think he was doing it in space between two rocket ships

[sambob]

That snippet of a clip looked like Ondra beat a bunch of kids at a competition 😂

[czy__]

any sauce for the clips at the start? those look absolutely insane too, would love to watch the full vids.
