I primarily free climb and honestly the idea of trusting gear like that is pretty terrifying to me, for me it's like a "just in case" so doing a shotty hex placement 5 meters from the previous piece is no biggie but trusting that shotty hex with my whole body while figuring out the next sequence and placement has me on edge. Cheers man
Talk about bringing back memories! I'm old and fat now, but I freed this section in 1988 and all the bolts hangers were all blown out till the bolt ladder at the crux. Had a nice long talk with God that day. I did get a #3 RP in at roughly the same spot his pulled. Luckily didn't have to test mine! No doubt mine would've popped and the fall would've been severely nasty.
Brother! Can't tell you how anxious this video made me feel. What might the pay off be for those who climb these formations? Perhaps to be the best in the climbing community.
Did that cam smack you in the face when it pulled free? My only issue with this video is you wiping your blood on the rock rather than your pants or shirt, i personally wouldn't be thrilled to climb behind you and grab a bloody hold. Either way though this climb looks badass!
One of the reasons why I hate aid climbing. With a piton or a bolt, yeah, fine - even with larger removable pro - but with a stopper the size of pinkie fingernail, count me out.
I just don't see the appeal of aid climbing. Is it just about being up high? Do you ever use the features or just the aids? I get so excited when I get to bust out a toe hook or a lovely bit of jam.
yeah that looks ridiculous. Are you seriously supposed to just yank the thing a few times and hope its good when you step on it? Is that how you test all the previous ones too? So in reality there is nothing to stop you from falling to the bottom or what
I'm not experienced at all but there are multiple pieces of gear between him and his belayer who is also secured to the wall. Not impossible but very unlikely all that gear would pull. Friction is a beautiful thing when it comes to climbing thousands of feet above the floor.
You must be both the most impatient person in the world and someone who takes massive whips all the time on big walls to not be even a little impressed at his calmness after that.
How not to do it.
0:49 That cam placement looks wrong. 0:51 as expected.
This video didn’t need to be over 3 minutes man, 10 seconds tops!! 3:41
Last seconds drama ....took very long waiting,,,cut short your video , it will attract more viewers that way
i find aid climbing so scary to watch, i dont like the fact that you just watch your pro sliping out
Cesur adam
He fell like it was nothing. He just slightly gasped, lol
😂

Always use protection
10:29
heart drop
Pooped a little when he fell 😳
How up are they my God, looks like they might touch the sky.
Why do humans do things like this lol
That is one hobby I fail to understand?!? Talk about danger at every moment.

I'll stick to going up mountains on 2 legs or 2 wheels.
Pucker level 10
Lmao toss me in the ocean with a bunch of hungry sharks ...... Fuck climbing 🤣
Prosisz się na inny świat, czy nie lepiej wskoczyć pod pędzący pociąg?
This is what being dumb and crazy at the same time looks like. This is worse than Russian Roulette.
I didnt see the tug test

Ewwww, blood 1:00
I fell out of bed once, that was high enough for me.

Did the cam come loose, or did something break? Scary fall bro. Glad your ok..
It just came loose. When trad protection fails it always makes that violent pop sound.
He doesnt even wear climbing shoes, no wonder😅 (sry its aid climbing, im stupid)

Nope go beach
Where’d you go? Why no more posts?
Como os gusta buscar el peligro lo adoráis algunos…
Do you get everything back
Wow. I am so happy that it was a kind of 'predictable' fall
I was wondering why he didn't just climb up the rock and then I heard him mention it was raining.
Absolute amateur! He should have tried with climbing not by the means of a scaffolder.And even at this his skill fails,

So odd seeing ladders that aren't attached to the harness in any way.
This isn't climbing it's cheating
Have you ever aid climbed?
This had bad all over it
lame as hell, over 3 minutes for a tiny little whip?
You must be both the most impatient person in the world and someone who takes massive whips all the time on big walls to not be even a little impressed at his calmness after that.
Holy crap!!!! I fell all the way to the bottom 😱
I simply do not understand why some people have a need for this....
I hate climbing, i'm a human
Aid climbing a free 5b is a wonderful idea. Keep on guys.
I was getting stressed just watching, got to respect those guys
I love climbing rock but it first has to be grinded to a fine sand by glaciations and spread on a beach.
I see what you did there you son of a beach
I agree, I love sand climbing and water swimming, haha
Why
I shat myself
