In Adam Ondra #57: No Fear – Falling, Adam Ondra takes you into a part of climbing that everyone feels but few talk about honestly: the fear of letting go. Built around a punchy collection of real falls from training and competition on the road to Tokyo, this short episode explores what happens in those split seconds when commitment, trust, and technique meet gravity.
What makes it worth your time is how practical it is. Beyond the adrenaline and the occasional wince, Ondra breaks down why falling is a skill you can train—how to build confidence in your belayer, learn to relax mid-drop, and turn “what if?” into forward motion on the wall. If you’ve ever hesitated above a bolt or backed off a move because your mind got louder than your feet, this is a motivating, oddly reassuring watch.
In Versace on the Floor, Jimmy Webb and Daniel Woods drop into Brione, Switzerland to try a striking roof line called Versace—graded 8B/V13, maybe harder. In under five minutes, this mellow mini-film captures the focus, the footwork, and the patience it takes to turn a promising piece of stone into a first ascent, with Kevin Takashi Smith behind the camera and edit.
It’s worth watching for the pure bouldering: steep movement, body tension, and that close-quarters “lick the wall” intimacy you only get on a roof. You’ll get a front-row seat to two of the best in the game working the details, matching power with precision, and letting the problem reveal itself—an ideal hit of inspiration when you want big climbing energy in a short, satisfying dose.
Giuliano Cameroni steps into the granite of Switzerland’s Val Bavona for an uncut look at the first ascent of “Manouche” (8B/V13). In under three minutes, this mellow short captures the intensity of a new hard line as Cameroni tests the sequence, commits to the crux, and brings a fresh problem to life—filmed with a sharp, intimate eye by Kevin Takashi Smith.
What makes this worth your time is the stripped-back focus: no fluff, just movement, effort, and the quiet pressure of doing something first. It’s a tight hit of high-level bouldering—precise footwork, tension-heavy positions, and that unmistakable moment when everything finally clicks—set against the raw beauty of Val Bavona’s stone.
Uncut: Jimmy Webb - Off the Wagon Sit (8C+/V16) drops you straight into the start of Jimmy Webb’s 2020 Ticino trip, where the agenda is simple: hunt down something brutal and make it happen. In just over two minutes, mellow captures the tension and precision behind “Off the Wagon Sit,” a notorious Swiss testpiece at the absolute edge of modern bouldering.
What makes this one worth your time is how quickly it communicates the whole story—cold conditions, razor-thin margins, and the calm focus it takes to link improbable moves when everything has to be perfect. It’s a short hit of high-grade climbing: powerful, technical, and relentlessly committed, with the kind of send that reminds you why hard boulders become legends in the first place.

Join Adam Ondra on the second half of his Croatia climbing road trip as he heads back to the tufas for a focused session on one standout line: “All in, I’m out.” First climbed by Klemen Bečan, this short film captures the travel-vlog energy of a day on rock while zeroing in on the raw problem-solving that happens when a route demands both power and precision.
What makes this episode a must-watch is the battle: steep, slippery tufa climbing that looks friendly from the ground but turns into a full-body chess match on the wall. Ondra breaks down sequences in real time, fights for each section, and questions the grade along the way—offering a compact hit of motivation, technique, and honest effort that climbers can feel, whether you’re chasing 8c or your next personal best.
Adam Ondra #51: Croatia Climbing Road Trip 1/2 follows Adam Ondra as his annual winter climbing escape takes an unexpected turn. With bad weather in Catalunya forcing a last-minute reroute, Adam and the crew hit the road for Croatia, settling into a laid-back session of sunny limestone, local vibes, and the simple pleasure of moving over rock after a block of speed-training.
What makes this episode worth your time is its honest, travelogue energy: no pressure to “send hard,” just world-class climbers enjoying quality routes, good conditions, and the small moments that make a trip memorable. It’s a quick, satisfying watch packed with beautiful scenery, relaxed climbing, and Adam’s reflective perspective as he balances training for the modern competition era with the joy of climbing outside.
In Adam Ondra #50: New Milestone, Adam returns to Stránská skála on the edge of Brno—an iconic crag that once served as an “outdoor climbing gym” for generations who trained on whatever they could find. With most lines long since climbed, tweaked, and eliminated into endless variations, Adam sets his sights on a lingering local challenge that somehow stayed untouched, chasing a personal benchmark that feels like both a tribute to the place and a step forward in his Road to Tokyo era.
This short film is a tight dose of motivation: thoughtful context about how climbers build strength, focus, and movement over years, then the satisfying tension of watching a world-class athlete test himself on a problem that refuses to give in easily. Expect a grounded, vlog-like atmosphere, sharp climbing moments, and the special appeal of seeing “one last” milestone attempted on a well-worn training ground—plus a tease of an upcoming 360° bonus climb that hints at an even more immersive perspective to come.
Gabriele Moroni has chased one winter ritual since 2014: returning to Margalef with a single obsession in mind—Demencia Senil, the legendary 9a+/5.15a. Uncut: Gabriele Moroni - Demencia Senil follows the Italian powerhouse through that long-brewing goal, culminating in the moment his dream clicks into reality on December 30, 2019.
What makes this worth your seven minutes is the raw focus: no detours, just the tension of a world-class route and the patience it demands over years. You’ll feel the razor-thin margins of top-end sport climbing—power, precision, and composure on the edge—set against Margalef’s iconic rock and winter atmosphere, ending with the kind of send that’s equal parts relief, joy, and disbelief.
South of Adam Ondra’s hometown of Brno, the landscape looks like a climber’s dead zone—flat fields, no cliffs, nowhere to pull. In Adam Ondra #47: The Best Boulder Ever Built, Adam flips that assumption on its head, hunting down a hidden urban/industrial gem: a striking arete first climbed in 2002 by pastor Ivo David and left untouched for nearly two decades, waiting for a rare second ascent.
What makes this episode irresistible is the mix of discovery, history, and pure problem-solving. Watching Ondra unlock razor-edged movement on an exposed arete is thrilling on its own, but the twist—tackling the hardest boulder he’s ever done in approach shoes, and arguing they might be better than climbing shoes here—adds a fascinating layer of experimentation. Fast, focused, and packed with creative footwork and tense attempts, it’s a sharp reminder that world-class climbing can exist in the most unexpected places.
