Indoor climbing, with the colors you must not use and the wall perfectly flat outside of the one hold you have to take, makes it harder for him.

Pretty on point seems I think every last belayer placed their hand 180 degrees upside down as though to catch their climber with their fingertips as opposed to, IDK, your hand? No wonder they need kevlar reinforced gloves. What exactly is the adverseness to using your hand right side down where you are objectively orders of magnitude stronger?

Haha awesome video! Although, I'm not certain why a banana peel on the ground is a problem, or were they trying to portray not leaving right on the trail? To me I see it as an opportunity to give the soil some nutrients. Of course it will attract bugs but I think us stinky climbers attract more anyhow. What am I missing with the banana peel thing? Great job guys!

@ryantvwalker

Solid question Connor. The video is emphasizing leave no trace ethics. There are a few LNT issues with leaving stuff like banana and orange peels on the ground. Like you mentioned they would give nutrients to the soil but those nutrients are from something outside of the normal ecosystem and the point is to leave as little human-caused impact on nature as possible so it is discouraged. They also take really long to decompose which makes them an eyesore for awhile.

Yeah that might be ok in very remote places with wet soil, and lost of natural decomposition. Not in a place that people use. Certainly not at a climbing crag. That banana peel may sit there for months before it decomposes. In dry climates it can be years. Even if it's only one a-hole a week that tosses their fruit skins, the place would be covered very quickly. Pack your waste out; even "natural" waste.

You arent planting 1000 banana palm trees,you are throwing away nutrients for every plant there is.

I guess this clip is hitting the 2nd degree pretty hard with the fact that although the main guy is being an idiot, the other guys that appear in there are also, despite their annoyance, just as inept (only a few seconds here and there is enough to see absolutely horrid belaying). This is what discovering the outdoor climbing community has been like for me. A high concentration of climbing geeks who act all snobbish and try to bully newcomers with their "superior knowledge" all while being generally incompetent themselves. At some point if you stick to it long enough and learn the ropes properly from people who actually do know what they're talking about, you figure out that most of the posturing was completely baseless and most of the people you saw being all pedantic were, in fact, completely full of shit.
