Can I Onsight All Hard Routes in Soyhiéres During One Afternoon? | Adam Ondra

Soyhières (Switzerland) is one of the crags that I have wanted to visit for a long time. It is the southern tip of Basel Jura—a larger area where I climbed many years ago.

Most of the routes in Basel jura are rather short, fingery, savage, but Soyhières has some longer and pumpier routes.

I was lucky to have Katy Choong, my teammate from @mammut as a guide as she is the local climber here, and she grew up climbing in this crag.

The goal was to sample some of the hard classics, and try to onsight all of them. Actually, those days when I am trying to onsight a bunch of routes in a day are possibly the most fun days for me.

I saved some of the routes from the 9th grade for another trip. There is also some potential for more bolting (maybe even cracks). Maybe the world's hardest crack is awaiting there.

  • Yeah 8b+ as a warmup might sometime be a bit to much for me as well
  • @andeolevain
    The guy who flashes your projects: top-level edition
  • @boris2929
    "The hard moves are here in the low part and this is the least obvious. I decided to campus it" 😅
  • @ayuminor
    Learned something new about leg anatomy at 10:20, gawd DAMN!
  • @tilkka_
    Imagine working on some problems for years, and then this tall fellow comes and crushes all your projects in one day. "Easy, he says" All my dreams of climbing with Adam crushed in one video 😂 (bunch of O0 graded problems...)
  • @bluuubber
    Crazy climbing level... As the first ascentionist of Rammstein 8c, of course I would have liked to see you onsight that one 😁.
  • Wow taking your full body weight on that dyno lunge into a one handed crimp was super impressive!
  • @teostrong6973
    Bro just tried 8b+ as a a warmup and said it was pumpy
  • @dantelaw7759
    You know what I really liked about this one? You're just having a good time! Very light-hearted and nice watch 😊
  • @paulzauner6896
    getting too pumped in the warmup can kill your day 🥲

    What an impressive human being. Great video! Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of the world.
  • @noamoz3968
    It's important to warm up on the 8b+, don't start with something hard obviously
  • @aarondgallegos
    Such a rad day for you Adam! What climbing is all about🎉 Great production and camera work as always, too!
  • @audetetvincit
    Adam, you are the leader in this art form. Onsight climbing is exciting and pure. I learn from these and appreciate the commentary and analysis you provide. Then I apply these learnings to my own practice of this art form. Beautiful climbing, congrats!
