When was it upgraded?
That looks like a long way down
1st pitch is only 10a
I'll go 10b. although that was a while ago leading with a 2" swami and hexes. Second pitch is 5.10c and worth it.
Strange that the leader didn’t set up the anchor for toproping so that the climber here wouldn’t have had to do that. Then nobody would have needed to rescue those two biners if the toproper had failed...
running directly through anchor chains increases wear on the hardware, especially at a popular climb like this. it's not so much the failure of a chain link, but the fact that it gets worn and develops an groove/ridge that wears on the rope. Rappel links are usually a thin piece of aluminum sheet that has been formed and folded and wears quickly enough with unloaded ropes being pulled. Lowering someone under load really wears these.
@@allanchong4772 good points
I re-watched the vid to the end and wanted to point out something you did at the anchor that was less than safe. You went into just one bolt without any backup and went off belay to pull up the rope to rappel. At that time, and until you went on rappel, there were 5 single things that could have failed and led to a tragic accident. 1. The sling to your harness. 2. The locking biner. 3. The galvanized quick link. 4. the bolt hanger. 5. The bolt. All of those greatly increase your chance of an accident and all of them have been known to fail in other cases. Next time, clip into the second bolt with another sling or tie into it with the rope to your harness (principle of redundancy) to handle that situation more safely.
Hey John... remember when you said "I'm off" when you were about to fall and Connie thought you meant "off belay" and took you off before you fell? That was a big ride, man...
Wait what?
@@Bluegrassburnin stop spreading idiocy. Redundancy is how you stay alive climbing. Because you made it to the ground is an idiotic rationalization that something was safe.
@@jrblackify hahaha 😆 of course I remember.
@@johntuttle9544 real idiocy comes from a closed mind thinking theres only one way to do things again an old school dogmatic approach to climbing like you seem to have.
Nice work! I love seeing folks do this thing without tape! Awesome!
Wow, modern tools make it so much faster to climb now!
Good job dude. Better to be a little more decisive on lead (comes with experience).
Can you just show up at this place and start climbing? How much does it cost?
Loos like a different kind of fun on top rope. Lead is pumpy as hell! This looks very chill.
You are insane!!! What happened to your glasses? How'd they stay on?
