No problem with the question. I’m no pro. But I can tell you what I know. The flake would almost definitely not come off. If it were, then it would come off with me standing on it. I also want some pro there. Because, if I fall clipping the next bolt (although very unlikely) then you can see it prolly a ground fall. Look at the distance between the 1st and 2nd bolts. They are far apart. 3rd reason why I did that…. because ITS AWESOME! Anytime you can sling some rock weather it’s helpful or not you just gotta sling some rock. Unless it’s unsafe. Thanks for the question. Comments really help YT algorithms. 😆

No more risky than standing on the flake! Remember that a cam applies an outward force that will pry the flake away. A sling on the flake pulls downward, similar to how we climb. More of a concern would be cutting the sling on a sharp edge if it slid during a fall.

Maybe I can make a more simple reply. No, pulling on roots and branches isn’t typically “in”. But, if you get scared enough, then they are.
how do you know how many pieces of gear to take up the wall with you? and what sizes?
A guide book helps. Or MTN projects (where routes are shared). Typically, I will bring a “standard rack” plus whatever extra the guide books or MTN projects says. If I don’t know anything about the route, then I’ll bring everything. 😂 When you’re new to trad like I still am, then I want to have as much as I can carry. 😝
Damn zero comments let me just fix that
😜
Awesome send! Imo, the stopper at 3:17 could very well have busted that flake off if you fell on it, obv cams are worse in sketchy flakes like that but stoppers can still put a ton of outward force on the rock.
It’s true! TBH, I mostly placed it because it’s a fun placement. Also, because I knew in that section, it’s the easiest climbing of the route.
how much does your gear weigh?
I’m not sure. Maybe 15 lbs for my gear? And 10lbs for the rope?
i'm still worried about snakes for you!!!
Me too! One of these days there will be one. I’m sure of it.
What route is this?
Comatose 5.8 at The Bald
oh its hollow? puts a oiece behind it instead of the other crack
your first piece was almost never going to stop a fall and the second was a B placement at best... should have just soloed it
lol. Ok. Thanks for your info. First piece was over-camed. And deeply placed.
what? both were bomber. Over camming does NOT decrease the strength of the cam.
Zerolin, Some people just comment on things they have no idea what what they are talking about. 🤷♂️
@@NCTradLines He's right about it being hollow though. That was a solid placement but the rock quality there was not. Fun/Easy or not, I wouldn't want that risk, although to each their own. If you had taken a fall there, would you have been comfortable that the flake wouldn't blow?
@@Ceryniful yes. I would have felt 7/10 comfortable to fall on it. But, that’s because I never had a flake ripped from the wall. 😝
My favorite part of watching trad videos is people absolutely munching on cams lol
😋
Never understood why people do stupid shit like this
What makes it stupid?
Also, never understood why people make comments like this 🧐
You’re like Spider-Man! Your shoes have glue on them?
Not glue. Double sided sticky tape. 😝
maybe you need nipple guards
Haha. That Velcro got the nip real good! Thought I was bleeding!
Such a great route! And I knew Drew's voice from the first word he said.
He does have a unique voice. 😅 BTW, thanks for getting Brian some gear!
i'm gonna be honest, for me I would love the lowering part, as a kid I dreamt of being able to repel down on a rope, I lived in florida so there wasnt many things tall enough, even though i tried many repels down from small trees or jungle gyms, but maybe thats why i'm alive today. 😁
I’ll have to film a long rap next time then. We’re doing sundial crack (4 pitches) next week. I’ll have to share a nice video of that. So much fun.
It's very good of course to clip a piece in the anchor as a first piece. However by clipping to the same biner as your cordelette you run the added risc of cutting that cordelette strand in case of a fall onto that piece.
Hey. Thanks for the info. I’ve not thought of that. But that makes total sense. I’ll throw another biner on it from hear on out.
I feel like the calf pump is something no one talks about but it’s so real 😂
Right?!? Climbing the nose here. 4 pitches of slab… Hurts!!! 😅
I enjoyed the full video last night!
Hey! Glad you liked it. Have you climbed the route?
Hey I know him that’s my friend!!!!
😂
When you knocked on the rock it made me physically cringe so hard
Why’s that?
Because I don’t like my joints and knuckles hitting against rough or hard surfaces
@@Mentallyillcats ahh. I see. I’m not knocking hard. Just a little love tap. To see if the rock is good enough quality to place gear in. Sometimes i hit the rock with the cam. I’ll think of you next time I do that. 😜
nice climb! soundtrack name?
It’s in the description. Here you go! Undercover Vampire Policeman by Chris Zabriskie. Thanks for the like! 😊
