Soloing The Anguish. Dang. My hands are pouring sweat watching that 😅

the overhang on this thing 😶

Amazing

so cool

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for calling it "gear" and not trad gear. I fricken hate that term.

How long ago is this footage from?

who is this guy lmao

I was camped at Roger's with Brent...I was like bolts dude...later on a bolt failed on the same climb...got unscrewed from the overhang

me when that new litz drops and your mum and me and we watch and that new old litz got us going

never clicked so fast

Seeing James Litz footage is hard nowadays, I’m sure it always was. Hope to see more clips of him, his legend is almost mythical now as lame as that might sound to some. Thanks for this clip.

Promo-SM

so strong

hell yeah, classic hard chatt rigs

I remember when this video first came out. There was another one of Cardwell in Hueco that I can find anymore that was sick!

Hey do you guys have the video of Brian Kim sending monumantal 13dR in the gunks? Saw it in an old post but the site and video has been deleted

The audio is terrible, cannot watch

Dad belay best belay

We free climbed the tree line on the right side of the rock and it involved some spelunking and chimney climbing and we went to the top took hours and we were talking to the climbers on the face for much of the time we did this twenty years ago .

This isn’t trad climbing

Real guts. Rather watch this than a 5.15 with fixed bolts every two metres any day. As an old timer I'd recommend a helmet, a big leader fall could break a lot of repairable bones but smashing your skull is the real danger. But - good you again.

Traditional? But it is bolted...

remove thise chalk marks

is DPM back!?!?!?!?!?

You could’ve roll started the bike with the flat battery, for your next climbs haha 🥸

I’ve been pretty fit all my life so when I picked up climbing at 33 I knew I’d be fine. It’s been one year as of a week ago and I can reliably climb v4, a v5 every now and then and now I’m working on v6s. Stretching and recovery matters more in your 30’s but climbing is a pretty holistic sport where decisions on and off the wall affect your performance. My issue is I have dogshit sleep and hydration

40 year old climber here. Starter when I was 32 and just climbed my first (second and third) 13a (alongside a handful of V7s). I actually only really started training 3 years ago and since then I've been climbing the grades quite quickly. Not that grades are everything, but if you care, and you train, and you have the stoke, you can gain at least a letter grade every season (imo!!). This winter I'm aiming for a V9; next summer a 13b; and by 50 a 14a! Let's go!

Need more from Looking Glass and the Carolinas!

Welcome back!

Traditional? Maybe I dont know what that means anymore.. Looks like some lovely rock and a hard climb. What is it called when you place your own gear?

You would probably enjoy Dr. Crankenstein and Horus at Eagle Rock.

Jamies intro felt like "I do drugs." There is nothing to be ashamed of 😅 I just started at 30 and I'm super happy to finally have found a sport that I like.

love to see some representation for looking glass

Such a 90s feel, so we’ll done

Cool vid, different beta than I've seen at the crux to. I remember slapping on that right wall.

i’ve been to the one cave under looking glass to boulder a bunch, still haven’t climbed there tho

Great climbing!!! Gotta love the glass!!!

Looks like such a cool climb

OK... this has to be a joke. I started climbing when I was 46. At first I thought it was going to be about Olympic level competition climbing. Granted this is outdoor bouldering... ok. I'm now 59. I climb indoors but I'm progressing.... slowly. But enjoying every minute. V3-4 and 5.9-11+ depending on the gym and setters.

DPM is back!! haha classic

my backyard. Great climbing in westernNC

duddeeee this is sum heavy shit! Shoutout to my homies climbing near Boone!

Hot hot hot - this one is a sizzler

I started climbing at 26 after having to quit skateboarding cause i couldn't jump off a parking curb without my bad knee dislocating. Then spent almost two years pretending it wasn't that bad. Now at 37 i can easily drop 25+ft climbing outdoors mostly or in if available no problems. Age means what you want it to, as do injuries

This is a joke, right?

Hahaha, who gives a shit? I didn't START climbing until I was 34. Who cares? Do people really worry about this?

look up Yuji Hirayama... 9a at 50 years old

thanx for the interesting angle. got into climbing at age 40... nearly 50 now. still in love

50 in a few weeks.....and I'm having more fun climbing now than I ever have
