Bouldering on the competitions is getting more and more different compared to outdoor climbing or “old school” competition style and it is getting progressively more difficult to train for it. I set on a pilgrimage to a city where some of the best “new school” boulderers live and train – Tokyo.

I'm glad to see everyone gets their ass kicked in Ogikubo. I suck there!
I've never went rock climbing before..I live an Alberta, Canada close to the mountains and love nature. You have inspired me to take the jump! I'm going rock climbing tomorrow.
Gotta love first clip he's walking and eating which is pretty much illegal in Japan
You're such an inspiration Adam, keep up the awesome videos. I hope that one day I can reach close to your level ✌🏼
Really enjoying this series
I don't know much about climbing, but so far all the pro climbers I've seen have been ultra chill, friendly and humble people, regardless of their incredible achievements… I've never climbed a wall in my life yet I'm drawn to these amazing, unique human beings…
Very high quality filmmaking! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Welcome to Japan!! It’s sad that Adam Ondra was sick on the day of The North Face competition…. Hope I’ll see him in Olympics!
Seems like you're in the right place then Adam 🙂
Can't imagine trying hard while jet-lagged though!
Good luck and have fun out there! Japan seems to be such an amazing country, would love to go there sometime!
4:55 pretty sure Adam thought he can go super saiyan in Japan
Every time I watch his videos all I can think is that he has the neck of a giraffe
Cinematography and storytelling were great in this one, great video.
instead of Tokyo, I made a Joshua tree video that needs
some feedback from the community!
thank you love u all!
Everytime I boulder, I suddenly scream to the top of my lungs thanks to adam 😂
Everyone knows Adam is the real daddylongneck
I was at Ogikubo on that day, you can see my girlfriend sitting behind Adam in one of the shots. It was so surreal seeing you walk into the locker room while I was there. Good seeing you around.
dude, the food! The food alone is already reason enough to go to japan _ The food! i‘m telling you!
What country will he be climbing for?
Feels good to see that even legends struggle sometimes
very cool
It’s calm!?!? You don’t know why that is. It’s because you are training!!! Nobody make a noise to interfere with your training…
Did you also Climbing at Rock?
can someone please help me and tell me where to find the second song?? i believe its called ryokosan – entanglement. but i am not able to find it anywhere…its driving me crazy!
Awsome material!! 👍
It is inspiring to see you feel humble. Immense wisdom, thanks for sharing
How many Japanese girls did he put in his bed in one night?
For those keeping score at home: there was absolutely no reason for him to travel to Tokyo to train other than to collect footage for this video series in order to generate revenue for his sponsor.
Yeah ! Tokyo is a good spot to find athletes. Japaneses are very explosive !
I know it is a sort of black humor, but it would be funny if in the train suddenly make a break and everybody falls, only Adam keeps holding the bars.
For some reason it was very satisfying to see Adam failing. This is how 9 out of 10 sessions of mine look like. Feel much better now indeed.
The Clarence Kennedy of Bouldering
It is very rude to talk on the subway Adam. Especially if you aren't whispering.
Hell yea dude!! stay humble
Really ?registration for Adam like you don't f know who he is at a climbing gym?
Weird to see Adam climb in an artificial environment.
didnt know tokyo had so many compstyle boulders, that's awesome
When you touched the climbing wall you was like Ahhhh finaly
4:14 future world champion right there
When do you learn to speedclimb?
Isnt speed the Main discipline that you have to get better?
You are already one of the best boulderer/lead climber in the world, If Not the best.
Adam Ondra: climbs
Japanese People: ohahhh ahhhhh uhhh wwooohhh
Lmao this is just a sick documentary broken up into videos. Hope you kill it in Tokyo, Adam
when i top my v2 and im super happy i want every1 in the gym to be like yoooo, nice fist bump, and just have a wall of fists great me as i fall to the mat.
does anyone know if he kept his shirt on because of Japanese culture?
How many times have you climbed moonboard. I love this channel
Never boarded a plane other than for climbing and competition. This time I'm… training for climbing. Huuuge difference hahha
The national culture is to try hard, to think how to improve, and to contribute to the whole group improving.They campus with heavy weights attached.
Adam, you always do a killer job, but your video team is also incredible. Such good content🙏
Awesome video, thanks! We all can learn from you especially while you're learning something new! Love your humility.
I love you, Adam.
So sad i wasnt into climbing when i lived in tokyo :S But nvm that, im doing it now!
Adam is good boy❤
