The Strongest Climber in the World (You've Never Heard of)

Jana is one of the strongest climbers in the world and is currently training to be the first woman ever to climb the grade of V16 or 8C+. Join me to see how hard she is working to make those dreams a reality and get an exclusive look at her on the unrepeated Terranova V16 itself, rumoured to be even harder.

Cool video from all my favorite climbing spots and crag. Jana is making great progress on Terranova! Keep crushing.

[BerndThomasSchuller]

Her personality is V18 at least. What a nice human being!

[implausibleduck]

Of a generally very likeable bunch, Jana has to be one of the nicest climbers/personalities out there. What a gem.

Oh and Josh is alright too, I suppose

I'm rooting for her both on this and excalibur. She's got a youtube channel and it's a joy to watch.

[Voidload]

Watching her progress for a while and she will most definitely send it eventually! So happy that we Czechs have another crazy talent - her. Just like Adam. She is not yet that well known but I would imagine that once she sends it she will go on a rampage to the rest of the world. Thanks for documenting this! <3

It happens to me very often. I see someone climb a boulder and I think it looks nice and easy I could do it, BUT when I tried I realized I have no chance :) Jana is beast. Josh is good as well (he did 7B which Jana didn't)

[LadyLaddy]

Jana is so strong and seems to be a very nice person. Impressive stuff. Thanks, Josh, for highlighting her in your videos. I think more people should know her.
And it's also impressive how you try these problems repeatedly and don't give up quickly.

@coquiclimbingholds the homewall was my fav part of the video. I see a lot of people doing homewall videos but I love all the details that went into to this one. Your videos help me a lot. Keep up the great work.

That last sequence is so sick. Shes got this - with some good weather its going down

@larslooijenga

I wish there was a better way to show through video how insanely difficult the climbs are that these top pros are making look so easy, the Josh Reference (tm) is a good start, but Josh is already way better than the average climber

[carrey]

very nice to see new raising stars which are very humble. Enjoyed the video really, ride on!

Keeping my fingers crossed for the send. Greetings from Poland 🤞🏻

[ScratchRick]

Jana is so cool!!! ❤ You two make a great combo for amazing content. Im so jealous. 😅

[brimmed]

Never heard of her but now I'm obsessed. Love everything about her

[CaptainFlips]

Runge looks great and I'd actually love to get myself shorts from them but damn is it expensive. I can justify the chalk though, plan to get some on my next refill

[AnnaNibbs]

Climbing Jane! 🥰 I love Jana after coming across a Lattice interview with her. Such a crusher 💪 but she also seems to be a lovely human. ☺️

[AkivaHarris]

Don't have instagram but I subscribed!!

@yuriburton, another great video. It was great to get an idea just how hard the top end boulders are

[TeaKitten]

@captainoflogic

Loving the videos and very excited to learn about Jana and see her methodology. Really neat to see an outdoor boulder transferred to an indoor wall.

@mheyrman

It’s scary how she makes the replica look like your average project on the spray wall, knowing how small the holds are and how bad the feet look. Eagerly waiting to hear about the send.
