"As long as I don't fall it won't come out," is the best Trad line ever

Watched this about 2 years ago and have been dreaming about climbing Epi ever since. Yesterday, got the summit and led half the pitches.

Honest question. I've been climbing indoors on top rope for years and indoor lead for about a year and just got into outdoor sport climbing last month and have never done trad. If you know the gear will come out if you fall then why bother placing it?

I've recently introduced few of my friends to indoor climbing while getting back to climbing overall myself. I'm itching to get us outdoors for some sport/trad routes. Just came across this video while looking for lead trad climbing and this is a really nice video, no bs just pure climbing PoV, nice views but you're really looking and testing for good holds, where to place gear, testing said placements etc. all while running out of strength. You've definitely earned a like and a sub.

Really love this video. So intimate and real!

Wow, looks like fun man. Climbing looks awesome. If i ever get to the states, this’ll be on my hit list!

Very helpful video...love this POV style.

I love these videos. So real. The quiet muttering about bad placement options is classic. The "ah fuckit" moment when you decide to push on. We've all been there! Constructive criticism? Maybe you've figured this out in the intervening year, but set those nuts WAY harder. If your follower isn't bitching about removing them, they're not set hard enough. All well and good for that top piece to have it softly set, but when the rope goes taught with a thousand pounds of force and the top piece blows, the physics get strange. You don't want the next piece in line to have rotated out...

Thanks Dude, appreciated. In 6 years of posting videos, there has been been a fairly constant critique of my nut placements. While I've fallen maybe 1/2 dozen times, maybe more on nuts, I've never had one blow (yet). That said, it's a critique that I do take to heart, especially seeing how often it comes up. It's Interesting (and educational ... and damn fun) re-watching climbing you've done years in the past. One of the bigger take-a-ways from the Red Rock videos in my opinion has been my lack of appreciation for the fragility of the rock out there. On the flip side of this, I think a few people that watch anything I've posted in the past 2 or 3 years lack an appreciation for just how tough the rock is in the Gunks. Largely, I applied Gunks tactics most of the way up this route, being the style of climbing I knew. In turn, I was slow, inefficient, and in select instances, not as safe as I could have been (nut placements being an example). I'm asked maybe a dozen times a year from newer climbers, "What gear should I buy for "lead" climbing?". My answer to this question is as follows: "When you feel comfortable safely explaining to someone else how to do it, then you'll know enough to know what gear to buy. Until then, the only time you'll be leading is with someone that is explaining it to yourself and they're going to have all the gear you need. This all said, if you're anything like me and every other climber out there, I also know you're not going to listen to this advice, so I'll offer some starters." Despite how comfortable and enjoyable the climbing was after the chimneys, I was fortunate nothing bad happened. In the same vane, aren't we all, because days like this one are when we learn a lot about this thing we do. I learned a hell of lot this day and the more astute may even notice those lessons translated in the climbs I posted after this one.

Thanks..Great climbing.Maybe I'll see you at the Gunks this year.

That's some awesome point of view, very scary though, but that's what keep us alive 😍

Very nice video - when watching you can the holds and the proportions pretty good - also nice to see you place the gear and have no cuts in the video.. Subbed

Realy nice rute and the rock looks just ok but cool, beautifull climb

Fun to watch.

Bravo!

jeese, I can’t imagine how much subconscious teamwork this must take. I have never climbed but from watching it seems like they have to work completely symbiotically. One placing and one picking up, and the guy below always checking where his partner is and stays off his line accordingly i presume in case of rocks falling as lead guy looks for hand holds

@therflash

The bottom guy doesn't climb, he's feeding the rope through a belay device, just chilling. Only after the lead is done climbing, he starts pulling the rope up through his belay device, and the second will then start moving up.

really like that you have the entire climb and show the gear placements. you got balls of steel on that last runout to the anchors haha. but good gear placements weren't obvious from what saw so maybe there wasnt another way lol

The correct balance of course, but sometimes we use up lots of energy to get a sort of kind of, maybe piece in., ...when it would have been better to power through. It took me some years to get to this point, or to put two pieces close and then run out longer sections.

rad video!!!

Wow, that looks like an amazing climb for crimpers.

It is much different to be on the "sharp end". To have to route find. To have to budget your protection and decide when it makes sense to place a piece and when it makes sense to preserve energy and run out a bit. It's also a challenge to find someone to help teach you to lead.

Impressive made it look effortless like Spiderman

My hands are sweating and l'm not even there .

@therockman1928

My very first pair were la sportiva tarantulaces. They worked very well since I was new and they were pretty comfortable. Knowing what kind of climbing you want to do helps determine the kind of shoes you want. If you’re into bouldering, I would go with a softer shoe. If you’re into sport/ top roping, I’d go with a stiffer one. My tarantulaces were a pretty good balance between the two so I was able to find what style I liked and go from there.

the best climbing shoes are the ones that fit your feet. Start looking at peoples feet and you'll realize how different we all are.....there are many different foot shapes and you need to find the ones that fit your particular feet. In my late 20's I found the perfect hiking boot and thought I'd solved on of lifes riddles. For years any time I needed a new pair it was an easy decision. Then they shopped making them and now I wish I were rich enough for custom boots.

Tri Cams! They slot in either cammed or as a static nut into some of those strange placements that he was running into.

YOU GUYS MAKE THAT SHIT LOOK SO EASY ITS CRAZY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN CLIMBING ON A PROPER BIG WALL. THE SENSATION OF FALLING BACK AND OFF THE WALL IS INSANE. THESE DUDES REST ON SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE CANT EVEN USE TO CLIMB UP WIYH. MAD RESPECT BOYS 👊🏼

This whole thing is so scary lol how do people find this fun

nice rock, nice climbing;)

Awesome pitch, nice video and channel! You know it's ok to have sketchy pieces, and it's ok to have run outs, but it is not ok to have both at the same time! Very difficult to judge from a video but seems to have some good placements for wires and medium cams... Take care!
