So I would not expect you to remember this, but we've actually met before.

And it was November 10th, 2018.

The reason I know that date is because it was the day that you onsited Just Do It.

And I used to live in Oregon.

I lived in Oregon for many years and Smith Rock was my home crag for about seven years.

And when you were in town, I was projecting Badman, that route in the AgroGully.

And I remember hearing that you were around

and I didn't want to go out there

and like try to find you because I was sure you were getting way too much attention already.

And I just want to let you, you know, like have a good time and enjoy Smith Rock.

But it was a Saturday.

So I was out climbing with my friend Paul.

We warmed up on the front side and went up into the aggro gully.

And there you were.

And you were so friendly.

You had just onsided bad man as your warmup, which I thought was totally amazing.

And we chatted with you for a bit.

And I remember you asked us if we knew

if anyone was back at the monkey

because you were going to go try just do it

and you asked us if we could come back to belay just in case you needed a belay.

Of course, we couldn't say no to that.

So we followed you back there, and Ian Caldwell was back there, like the sheriff of Smith Rock, so he was already on belay duty, which was perfect.

So Paul and I just got to sit back and watch as you onsighted Just Do It.

And I have to say, man, I mean, that was many years ago, and I've witnessed a lot of hard rock climbing in person in my life,

but that still to this day was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

It was so exciting.

I couldn't believe you were on sighting.

I kept having to remind myself as you were going up like the start pitch, you know, that like 8B or 8B plus start pitch.

I was like, he looks like he's red pointing.

I can't believe he's never climbed this before.

He's just so confident and smooth.

It was freezing back there that day.

It was like 40 degrees Fahrenheit and super windy in the shade.

and you decided to go for it anyway.

I think I might have been one of the people that tried to talk you out of it.

I was like, it's so cold, dude.

It was so cold.

But yeah, I mean, again, it was just the most exciting and engaging thing, just the sounds that you were making in the crux,

the way that the sounds were echoing around that little amphitheater up there with all these people watching, and it was just dead silent.

And then I remember, and I'm getting to questions, promise but the thing that i most wanted to ask you about when i thought about interviewing you

i just it was amazing to see your reaction when you clip the chains because

you know you'd already on sighted like 20 ac pluses

or something and multiple 9as

so this wasn't like a cutting edge hardest thing you'd ever done

but again like i i don't think i've ever seen a human more excited about anything than you were

when you clip the chains of just do it and you're not American.

So I was just like, what?

Obviously, you're a student of climbing and you love climbing history and you'd been talking to Alan Watts and all these things.

But I just wanted to hear about your history with that route and why it was so special for you.

Because, yeah, again, you were just so excited.

It didn't make sense given that that was your 20th or 24th or whatever, you know, 8C plus or harder on-site.

It was so cool to see.

I mean, 8C plus on-site is still quite a bit big.

Yeah, of course.

It's not going to be boring. Of course.

Ever, I would say.

But I don't think there is any other just do it in the world.

now in terms of like how special and awesome looking line it is

and also given the history of it and maybe the circumstances of the day

when I knew it was going to be way too cold

but I was very deliberate in the choice of the day from the week that we got to spend there

and that was the warmest day so

and I knew I really wanted to try that day

so all of this together I think resulted in me being

so happy for send and of course also knowing

that the album was there I don't I don't even think

it's like it's It's definitely not super difficult for HC Plus either.

It's just the history, the line, and the climbing, and the presence of AlbumWodz that made it so special.

If you find videos like this helpful, I put together a free masterclass on how to unlock your full potential in climbing,

where I share some of the best nuggets I've learned from interviewing the best climbers in the world.

It's for any climber who wants to improve, and it'll help you take your climbing to the next level.

I interviewed Alan many years ago.

He was actually one of my first interviews.

He was episode four on the podcast.

Still one of my all-time favorite ones that I've done because I'd climbed a lot of his roots.

And of course, you know, Smith Rock was my home at the time.

And we talked about that day.

We talked about you and he was surprised that you knew who he was.

And then, you know, he was honored to connect with you.

And then he ended up in your book

and you sent him a copy of your book with your signature and all this stuff. So cool.

Do you remember when you first learned about Just Do It and about Smith Rock?

Was it in the magazines in the Czech Republic growing up?

So it was from the book called Rockstars from Austrian photographer Heinz Czak.

So the book was released in 1995

and for some reason in our country in those times I think it felt like everybody had it.

So my parents didn't have it, but my mother's best friend had it.

And she lent it to me when I was, I think, seven.

Then I had it for quite many years.

Wow.

From before I got my personal copy.

Because it had been unavailable for years.

And then they made a reprint.

So, Rockstars, you have articles,

not really interviews, but mostly written articles by Heinz about the best climbers in history,

mostly sport climbers, a bit of a boulder.

And yeah, Smith Rock was obviously there.

100

So was Jibe Troubault in there actually on the line?

101

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.

102

Yeah.

103

Wow, that's amazing.

104

At seven years old...

105

But the Just Do It photo is not included there it there

106

but I think the Jibetribu wife is to the Scarface 8B next to it is it called Scarface?

107

Oh on Monkeyface?

108

Eastface crack.

109

Yeah, Eastface monkeyface.

110

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Eastface crack.

111

Yeah, another amazing line.

112

Man, that's so crazy.

113

At seven years old I was like collecting Legos

114

and i don't know what else i was doing

115

but it definitely i wasn't like i think i was still collecting collecting legos as well oh were you okay

116

so yeah i was gonna ask

117

that like what were your other interests as a kid like

118

were you just i mean it seems like climbing consumed you from such an early age

119

and it's just i think the thing that really sets you apart is

120

that level of passion

121

that just seems to be undying it seems like you you're

122

never not psyched it's oh you're kind of shaking your head or shrugging?

123

No, no, no. I think it's unfortunate from that perspective.

124

Yes.

125

I'm not saying I'm always 100% motivated, but most of the times I'm very motivated.

126

And yeah, sending hard climbs,

127

I think a lot of people might actually be disappointed when they finally send their big project that,

128

okay, maybe the experience and the level of happiness

129

that they are getting out of it is not wasn't really worth it maybe

130

but for me it's like it's just really great

131

actually question myself oh was it really worth it

132

or not well i i maybe i tend to question myself

133

while i'm working on a project if it's worth it

134

or not whether i should just you know climb something else

135

and maybe enjoy myself more through the process but

136

when i was a little kid i think i I was always quite focused on one single thing.

137

So earlier, I think, so more or less the age of Hugo when I was three,

138

I was really into the cars and I was trying to learn every single brand that there was.

139

So I was able to recognize it.

140

And then I was really involved in geography.

141

I really enjoyed memorizing all the capitals and flags and stuff like this.

142

So actually when I was seven years old, it was kind of the time when my geography interest turned into climbing interest.

143

Yeah, there's nice overlap there.

144

From then, it was mostly just climbing.

145

Yeah.

146

And it was just the time that I was able to read, so I could read magazines and these books rock stars all over again.

147

I remember seeing or reading somewhere that when you were a kid, your parents built a little campus wall

148

and you had like a campus board in your room

149

and then there was like holds connecting the two campus boards across the ceiling and stuff.

150

And you would tell me about that.

151

Is that like how you moved around your house as a kid?

152

Is that the key to becoming Adam Andra?

153

I mean, at a certain point, I would start climbing all the time in our apartment on everything that I could see.

154

And the fact that I was climbing on some things, my parents were not really happy.

155

So first, they set me like a really small section of the wall.

156

just like you know let's imagine like big fingerboard around just above the door

157

and in one or two years it grow a little bit bigger there's adding more and more holes i wouldn't

158

like me a beta was actually training there it more meant that i never took rest days so

159

doing something on my on my wall mostly just like resetting it

160

so imagine it was sort of like a spray wall

161

and it didn't really have that many holes so I think I would like reset it every week or something.

162

Wow, how old were you?

163

7-8.

164

Wow, that's an early introduction to spray wall climbing that's so cool and no shoes were allowed right?

165

It was like socks or barefoot?

166

The rule by my mother was no shoes because the wall was white

167

and she really wanted for it to remain nice and white

168

so I was barefoot and choking up was only possible in the bathroom.

169

So I didn't really mind.

170

I think that climbing barefoot made it even more interesting.

171

Man, I wonder if your mom had any inkling that you would become you, you know?

172

Like did she see the potential and did she think you'd be the...

173

I think maybe when I was eight, I think already maybe yes.

174

I think I was quite unique for my age.

175

So I think I was on sighting 7B+, which right now is maybe not that special, but back then it was really special.

176

I also remember learning that you had stuffed animals and you made little harnesses for them.

177

And you would take them climbing in air quotes.

178

Absolutely.

179

I actually found again the guidebook that I made for my animals.

180

It was a little dog and a big.

181

So I would like paint like sections of our apartment and I would just you know

182

made the lines and come up with the names and give it a certain grade.

183

and so I would like reckon you know the little dog is like 170 175 centimeters

184

so you know so like a really long route for a dog would be like 30 meters

185

and stuff like this and paradoxically the ultimate grade

186

that my little dog has ever reached was a 9c oh wow okay what Describe the 9C.

187

Was that like...

188

A total roof.

189

A total roof, okay.

190

A 45-meter total roof.

191

No knee bars, though.

Почему практиковать речь на этом видео?

Видео — отличная возможность для shadowing английский, так как оно содержит естественную разговорную речь с эмоциями и деталями. Разговор о встрече с известным альпинистом создаёт живой контекст: вы узнаете, как описывать воспоминания, выражать удивление и задавать вопросы. Это помогает улучшить не только речь, но и понимание коллоквиального языка. И если вы ищете shadowing site или способы учить английский с YouTube, такое видео станет идеальным материалом для тренировок.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

"I would not expect you to remember this" — конструкция "would not expect + инфинитив" для мягкого выражения неожиданности. Полезна для разговорной речи, чтобы не звучать навязчиво.
"it was the day that you onsited Just Do It" — сложное предложение с определительным придаточным, где "that" заменяет "when". Помогает структурировать историю и связывать события.
"I kept having to remind myself" — фраза "keep having to" для описания повторяющихся действий. Отражает внутреннее напряжение или необходимость самоконтроля.

Трудные места в произношении

Чтобы улучшить произношение английского, обратите внимание на:

"onsighted" — произносится как /ˈɒnˌsaɪtɪd/ (с ударением на первом слоге). Это специфическое терминоilogy в альпинизме, важно правильно произнести, чтобы быть понятым.
"crux" — /krʌks/ (не "крукс"!). Это ключевой момент маршрута, и ошибка в произношении может испортить смысл.
"amphitheater" — /ˈæmfɪθiːətər/ (много слогов, нужно не опускать "θ"). Легко перепутать с "amphibian", но контекст поможет разобраться.

Пractise shadowspeak: повторяйте фразы за спикером, копируя интонацию и ритм. Это поможет сделать речь более естественной и уверенной!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
