La Dura Complete: The Hardest Rock Climb In The World 

Probably the best climbing video I've ever seen. Unfortunate that my neighbour thought i was being murdered and called the police.

"I'm a pretty laid back guy when I climb"..... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Chris literally gave the entire current generation all the stepping stones he is an insane inspiration.

12:53 Imagine pissing Adam's off reaalll bad, then hide from him at the top of a mountain. Then, at the middle of the night you look over the edge and you see Adam coming up to you like this.

The same sounds come out of my bathroom every morning while I'm having a La Dura Dura.

When Chris Sharma says a climb has "really crappy holds", son, you better believe those are some crappy holds.

15:15. When Sharma's entourage rolls up to the crag and startas playing a goddamn flute, you know shit is about to go down.

This is one of the most significant projects in the history of sport climbing. And we're lucky enough to have it documented. Chris Sharma, the strongest climber of his generation, passing the torch to Adam Ondra, the strongest of his, by completing what was at the time THE hardest route on earth. That's pretty damn special.

Those screams aren't coming from Adam; they're coming from the mountain he's gripping.

I like to use this screaming tactic on the indoor gyms. Helps asurt my dominance

Chris: Making this first ascent is my dream. AO: Thanks for finding this route for me.

" I have the route so wired that it doesn't feel any easier. There is no margin to make anything more efficient. My muscles just memorized the moves so perfectly that I either have to be a little stronger or just have a little bit more luck" - Adam Ondra

Climb you majestic mountain giraffe, I believe in you.

Ooooh, now I understand it, my parents are climbing La Dura Dura each night. That’s why there are coming so many noises from their room

I first watched this video in my first year of climbing around 4 years ago. It amazed me then and gave me the drive to get better. As I got better I rewatched it, probably a year or two later, again, it helped to burn the fire inside of me brighter. I just rewatched again, after climbing for 4 years and it is just as amazing and just as inspiring as it was 4 years ago. This video has been an instrumental part in my climbing journey, and truly, in my opinion, the best video on RU-vid.

"Adam is super possessed when he climbs"-it all makes sense now

I always like to think how great some of these climbers would be as assassins, scaling the sides of mountain fortresses thought impenetrable to reach their targets. Then I came across this guy and that idea shattered.

I really love how Ondra and Sharma are with each other. In a sense they are rivals - Sharma was the best extreme-difficulty climber in the world until a little while back, now that title has probably passed to Ondra. But each of them is so genuinely helpful and supportive to to the other - what a great example not only of sportsmanship, but also of well-lived lives.

The 2 learned from each other. One needed to be more laid back & the other learned to be more obsessed. Turned out to be the perfect mix.

Thanks Adam for making my cats hide under the couch for 30 minutes while you screamed up the mountain. Epic climbs !!

The next challenge is the first quiet stealth ascent of La Dura ;-D

They are making these screeching noises when they climb the hardest route in the world. I'm here making the screeching noises when someone kills me in Call of Duty.

imagine being a hawk with a nest on the cliff and see that comin at you

Mom: Can you get me that can of dog food on top of the kitchen cabinet? Me: AHHHHHH!! AAAAAAAGGGGH!

At first I was turned off by the grunting and shouting. Then I realized it was coming from me.

Does anyone else get sweaty hands just watching people climb??

Impressive to watch. My hands feel humid just from looking at you guys climb.

Such an iconic film, a real moment in climbing history.

The exact sound when I step on a lego.

For the "why they scream" question, researchers at Drexel University found that when subjects were asked to use a handgrip that they exerted 10 percent more energy than simply exhaling. They're not sure on the exact mechanics, but they postulated it creates a fight or flight response that gets the adrenaline going. Not definitive but there could be a physiological reason why they grunt. Until I see a silent guy beat a 9b+ climb, can't say whether it's just pointless noise.

Grew up watching Chris pushing the barrier on what’s possible . Adam is clearly next gen… nice to see them stepping up to new limits together. Inspiring!

This is so inspirational. I had one of the hardest years of my life last year, almost losing it entirely. I am on a path of recovery and finding that climbing is beyond therapeutic. These videos are inspiring me to push forward and in some small way saving my life.

Remember, the equation of force due to gravity is: F = mg - AAAAGH!

When you carry all the shopping bags from the car in 1 go. It's the same grip

Love this. Still one of the most inpsiring and best climbing videos almost 10 years later. And shows what climbing is about - not competition but supporting and motivating each other. I wonder if either of them would have sent this without the other supporting them. So cool to see Chris & Adam together - like the handing of the baton on to the next generation. Awesome!

On a cold clear night, legend has it that you can still hear Adam screaming up on that mountain...we tell the village children scary stories about how the wild Frenchman that lives on the mountain will come down and make them eat Cliff bars if they are bad!!!!

I think you need to yell louder. That will scare the rocks into submission.

*Man screams in guttural pain several times before falling ass backwards into solid rock Man this looks like a fun hobby

Such respect for these guys. I’m terribly scared of heights but I can’t get enough of these vids.

Hey you! Before you comment that Alex Honnold would climb this without a rope easily. Consider that Alex Honnolds hardest route ever climber was a 9a. More than 200 people worldwide have climbed 9a. The grade you see here 9b+ has only been climbed by 4 people in the world at the time of this comment. Meanwhile Adam Ondra has gone another step further and climbed 9c, which has thusfar not been repeated, by anyone.

"I touched the holes and it didn't look that impossible" Good start.

This was a fantastic watch. Major respect to Chris for sticking with it and completing the route. What a champ.

I come to this video once a while. It’s just a piece of art. The narration, the effort,the discussion.everything. Just everything is perfect

Really two different styles of climbing and it was great video to see how both of them conquered that challenge.

How did I end up here

11:25 "But moooom, there really IS a horse climbing up the wall! I can hear it!!"

It's crazy to see how tense Chris is when Adam climbs. Such a beautiful spirit.

Simply the best climbing video ever made. Arguably two of the greatest climbers of all time on arguably the best route of all time (so far).

When Adam sent it it’s awesome but when Chris finally does it... man. That’s really special.

Mad props to your ascension. That was so intense my palms were sweating.

These guys are the ultimate heroes. I used to skydive, now I ride several horses every day, watching this perfectionism is inspiring.

"I just did everything perfect." Adam Ondra

If you turn you phone upside down it looks like they're climbing downhill dramatically.

3:18 that is a long fucking neck

God I’m so bummed that I haven’t been following this sport longer. I knew nothing about climbing until Free Solo came out, and I guess that’s kind of like if you were to watch the Super Bowl your first time watching football. So then I watched the Dawn Wall and Silence and a lot of the well know pieces on rock climbing. I personally have no interest in climbing, I be been boxing for about 12 years, but idk what it is but specifically, but as a spectator, climbing might be my favorite sport to just observe. I’m totally hooked. Now I spend so much time watching anything climbing related and all the awesome documentaries and it’s like a new hobby for me. There is something about not knowing what the human limitations are that leaves a lot of room for these monumental leaps in skill and ability that people achieve in climbing that blows me away. I think Tommy Caldwell said it in Free Solo that “ people who know a little about climbing are like ah he says he’s got it, he can do it, and people that REALLY know climbing are freaked out”. I’ve never been to Yosemite so I didn’t really understand that gravity...no pun intended...of what he was doing and I finally made it to Yosemite this summer, somewhat because of free solo, and dude....the idea of someone up on El Capitan without a rope seriously makes my balls hurt. I still don’t think a lot of people understand how crazy that was. Anyway, for any climbers out there, you guys deserve more credit and as many fans as the best athletes in the world get and keep pushing the boundaries.

So inspiring, thanks to Adam, Chris and Reel Rock!

This is where the first Super Saiyan transformation will happen.

Who ever edited this video, thank you for not making jumps every 2 seconds and having a blaring sound track at the same time.

No one: My bird at 3:00am: 2:53

I love how Chris learned Adam's technique of caveman yells.

I feel his pain. Everything is harder wearing jeans.

Shit, their resting holds, I don’t think I can stay on them for like a second

This will always be my favourite sport climbing movie and I’ll always be back for another rewatch.

7 years later and I still watch this video, it too good!

"The rest of the route was just an 8b"...what?

Adam's neck longer than my future 😳

This video is like perfect entertainment. Watching someone trying over and over to achieve a nearly impossible goal. Knowing the person is fully focused on one goal and not knowing if he will even be able to do it.

2023 and still one of the greatest videos and routes ever.

The holds that Adam and Chris rest on are holds none of us could ever hope of even grasping in the first place. Truly incredible stuff. Well done to them.

Wow, I like watching 'the struggle' over the final perfect edit. The strength in these guys is incredible!

Love this video! Truly inspiring. Watching on my lunch break in office, getting pumped to go climb after work!!

Anybody watching this after Adam Ondra has sent ‘Silence’

By far my favourite climbing video. This video inspired me to try climbing when I first saw it back in early spring. I still come back and watch it at least once a month now

I really enjoy the mutual respect these climbers show for each other. Its humbling to see and very admirable.

Sharma's little swing of the left leg at 16:06 is a fantastic demonstration of using momentum to achieve efficiency of movement. It allows him to unweight and move his left hand without really putting extra pressure on his right. It's beautiful.

Screams during climbing are his trademark. Mad Respect to this man first climber in the world to have completed a route with a difficulty level of 9c aka silence route. if you don't understand this its the Mount Everest of accomplishments inthe climbing world.

I could use some chalk just watching this my hands get sweaty

I wonder if people exactly realize how fuckingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg difficult this is. These guys are hanging onto literal half-finger spaces, by their whole body weight. Literal half-toe lengths as well. And then they have to concentrate all their body weight onto these tiny tiny spaces. And they do this over and over and over again. I don't think it's exaggeration to say that 99.9% of ppl wouldn't be able to do the hardest part even once.

This is an amazing climb. It's incredible. Well done! So impressive.

These guys are beasts. Ultra impressive strength, nerve, and technique.

I live 20 km from there and one day i was walking this way, cause there is beautiful romanic church in the end of this pathway. i didnt know that this rock wall next to Oliana is call " la dura". And the most funny thing is that i have seen Adam Ondra training there, and i had no idea that this was so important. If you can, visit L'alt d'urgell, in (Lleida), Catalonia, Spain. Is one of the most beautiful and amaizing territories of Spain. Forget the crowdy Barcelona and come, its just 2 h in a bus from Barcelona, next to Andorra.

you know how people’s palms usually sweat when watching videos like this? yeah. my feet sweat. lmao

Congratulations to both of you guys. I really wish I had friends like you guys. This is inspiring.

To describe this type of climbing as anything other than death-defying, is a gross injustice. These guys are incredible.

Cmon Adam..HAAAAAA...Cmon now..HWAAAAAAAA...yes, here you go..SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I am not sure what is more impressive. Adam finishing it when he was so young or Chris finishing it when he was so much older.

I keep coming back to this video over and over..

One of the best climbing videos existing

Everyone is misunderstanding Adam. He has a great attitude and calmness off the wall.. Some people scream less climbing but have terrible attitude off the wall.

Hey gurl, wanna see me rock climb? 2 hours later... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH,YAAA,HA,HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Forget the worlds strongest men with big muscles n egos. These are the true, Worlds strongest 💪 men ! ! !. Mentally and physically. Thanks for all the great inspiration.

Chris' hair during the interview is Legendary.

try climbing that neck

I recommend this video to people with dry hands

That's Beautiful.. This is not just a sport, it is an Art in my opinion..

Just got into really diving into rock climbing vids and I think it’s funny how Adam is the only climber that I’ve seen that screams while he climbs. But I love it since it reminds me of power lifters whenever they do a heavy ass lift.

very cool of Chris to have bolted this and let Adam get first ascent.

Pure strengh, pure balance, pure determination

It's wonderful seeing people come together to make each other better and accomplish amazing news feats 😃

This was an amazing film! So much inspiration! Thank you!
