I bailed on this 9 months ago...
In March of 2024, I had an absolutely terrible day out. My buddy and I did a long approach only for me to bail 10 feet into the first pitch. It was a wake-up call. I had to learn how to process fear or I had to quit climbing. I came back to the route after nine months of working on my "head" game and here is what happened.

Yikes! This one was dicey.

This week we feature an old-school 5.8 trad climb with a notoriously difficult start. The crux is right off the deck above sharp rocks. After cruising through the crux I got in my head and almost blew it when I ran out of gear. But I was able to use some of my Rock Warrior skills to pull through! Thanks for the belay, @ActiveAlexis (who is also featured in the cover image).
DON'T do this.

Oops! We made a dumb decision and paid for it! This week we take you through Bryan and Alexis' "adventurous" descent amidst wind, rain, and lightning. We'll discuss the poor decision-making that led to this unnecessary risk and how some good planning got us down safely. Thanks for watching!
The new training plan is working...

I'm one month into a new training plan that involves a LOT of top rope soloing on hard (for me) routes and it is PAYING OFF! I took a break from the TRS game on Saturday and was able to send two pitches in Sedona I had only dreamed of before. Enjoy! Thanks to Derek Field for letting me use his sweet Cholula topo!

HIGH EXPOSURE EXIT

It's the last pitch of our version of "The Classic" on Granite Mountain! I quest up the "High Exposure Exit" only to quake in my boots and bail after two bolts. Luckily, a hero was on standby to save the day!
Three cruxes and a lot of grunting

Alexis and I continue our variation of "The Classic" with our third pitch which is technically pitch 2 of Karl's Korner. This takes us right to the top of the Flying Buttress! Hope you brought your #6!

Nothing crazy, just a fun crack climb at Paradise Forks near Williams, AZ. I was pretty stoked to flash my first climb at the Forks as the area has quite the reputation!

This week I show you what it's like to take the trad lead portion of the AMGA SPI exam on an actual route used for the test! I'll share what it was like to take the exam and will give you some pointers in case you want to pursue the Single Pitch Instructor certification.
Spraining my ankle on Granite Mountain

This week we teamed up with Aaron Collins over at Arizona Mountain Guides for an adventure on Granite Mountain one of the most raucous, sandbagged areas in the country. I soon gave up all hope of "sending"...especially after spraining my ankle on the first pitch! This is my shot at leading the first pitch of "Reunion" (The Classic has many variations!). Thanks for watching... and don't worry, t...

Channel a little bit of Taz 😂😂😂 I’m gonna try that lmao. You’ve come so far, Bryan!!! Proud of you 🎉🙌
Thank you!!!
I’m telling mom!
Shhhhhhhh!!!
Sick video! If you ever want to get on GM or even do some leading around granite gardens let me know!
holy crap, what did you film that first shot with?
Just my Pixel 8!
One very overcammed cam placement a few mins into the video

I don't know that I like dells trad climbing lolol also I dislike that you're not wearing gloves :(
No idea why I'm gloveless. Lame. Dells trad is like a fine wine... or was it boxed wine? One of those two for sure.
I’ve been waiting for this!!! It puts into perspective what was going on. While I was belaying you and you took your helmet off, you were so high up, I was like ???? What is happening 😂😂😂 you crushed it!!! 👏
🤙 what a great day! Thanks, partner!!!
Looks fun! 🤘
This was a joy to watch. The sad music on the lower. 😂 the pause in music when I was feeling nervey and how you made me look so heroic 😂 loved reliving this epic adventure through these videos 🙌 Ugghh can’t wait to go to GM again

Glad I had that 6 😅 ugh dreaming of sticking my hands in Karl again. Thanks for the vid 🙌

When I discovered the jug at 23:32 😏
you cruuuuuushed it
"I'm getting worried here" "It's not that bad" LOL. Such a struggle bus lolol. I did not expect to struggle that much right off the bat. Jeez. Next time put me on a better warm up!!!! (....okay this route was my choice but still...) Thanks for letting me use your GoPro and getting the battle on camera!!!
Haha, I tried to get you on Reunion!!!
Get on jump back Jack if you want some REAL wide ;) P1 of crack lovers aint shit!
Somewhere in the dells? I recognize that grainy granite. Also can you actually talk about the skills necessary to pass the exam? Or anything other than your own personal struggle on this route? Thanks!
Looks like it’s probably on high rappel judging by the highway right there! The wide crack next to guillotine???

@@WanderlustRockClimbing Its basically my home! Hit me up if you need a dells or granite mntn partner!🤘🏻
You did this recently too! Those bolts where just replaced not too long ago! I climbed the thing with one good bolt(the other hole still had no bolt but the sleeve in it) and used a long static line to snag another bolt from another set of anchors like 30’ away🤣🤣 I personally hate those fixe hangars with no room for anything but the rap ring! What about you?
Thank you so much for showing us what it's like to lead a pitch. Some scary moments there.
@@ellenclary of course:)
good work, prob best ya'll bailed into the MR there and not higher on the route, I think at some point bailing to the MR becomes impossible and the only way down is up.
@@nickb1966 ya, that's we we had read as well. Bummed we didn't make it, but I think we made the right call. 🤙
WHY????
Looks awesome bro! Would love to climb a route up Whitney
Thanks Bryan !! Reminds me of the place I took a fall. So fun...
Not a rock climber got on your video from scrolling. I live pretty much in the swamp so no mountains around here. What makes me happy is just being content with my family. Just having the basic necessities is good enough. I also like to collect coins. Have a great day.
Great job, looks like a fun climb. Keep up the great work. 😊
Keep going at it dude. Looks like an inspiring line.
Thanks!
YEAAAAAH you slung the handlebar hold!! The intro got me cheesin, thanks for including that. Seeing you try hard and make these videos has been fueling my stoke!!! Glad you came back a couple days later with a better mindset and got it!! "if you wanna climb hard things you've gotta climb hard things" heck ya dude
haha, so I slung it the first go, but not the second. Doubtful it would hold ;)
You are amazing ♡♡♡♡ FROM DENVER
what grade was this climb? Where is it located?
This is "Maiden Voyage," 5.9, in Sedona :)
Fastest way to reprogram your fear response to falling is to emerse your self in it. In other words Fall on purpose, over and over again. Eventually your fear response will ease to a level that you can manage.
Man the feeling of pushing through a fear and crushing a climb is awesome. I’m currently trying to learn lead rope solo and the fear factor is like learning to lead all over again. I’ve climbed in the 12s and now I’m freaking out on 9 and easy tens. I love the adrenaline and I’m pushing the bounds of that fear. This last weekend I found a route that looked cool and just onsighted it. Super scary just going for it but it was a mid ten and it felt like a cruise. The motivation is awesome
Nice, dude 👌😎 I'm getting into LRS too. What's your setup?
@@WanderlustRockClimbing gri gri plus HUD with a micro and back up knots
wow, thanks for sharing this! More climbers should be open about sharing their experiences with fear. Proud of you for working through the fear and continuing to climb despite the struggle. I really really struggled with this as well and I'm FINALLLYYY in a place where I feel good on lead (most of the time, I still have my moments), and I know you'll get there too!!!! WOOOO CLIMBING!!!
It helps a lot to hear from other climbers who have "gotten there," thanks for watching and writing!!!
Nice! I did a usur minor a few months ago. That slab was the hardest part i feel.
Oh ya for sure!
Love the self-talk at the bolt move!
What's the music for Pitch 1?
Dude. This is my Ula Article. i'll strive to apply your teachings. Thank you!
Love to hear that, cheers!
I mean this with all due respect and I think it’s awesome you pushed through the fear but is outdoor lead climbing maybe just not for you? I’ve dealt with fear on runouts and sketchy/scary climbs but this seems like an extreme amount of fear for a well protected 5.6
If I may, as a climbing product with a mentor in the 80s, if you're feeling, struggling this much leading a 5.6 - 5.8, you need to step back and get more instruction. Learn to place nuts and stoppers with NO cams on your rack. Seriously, kids these days rely WAY too much on cams for protection. Yes, they can be quick and bomber but, you need instruction and time with gear placement. It'll make you a stronger/better climber. Find a crag/bouldering area where you can literally sew up a crack with stoppers, even if it's a traverse 6-8 feet off the ground. I use to put my pride in my back pocket, put my harness on, roped and racked up at a popular bouldering area and did just that, WITHOUT a belayer! If I pumped out, I'd just jump to the ground. I'd even reverse the climb and clean the gear. I'm sure I got many looks, but I gained so much knowledge and strength under duress while close to the deck, as well as becoming an expert in placing gear. Cams eventually became the in thing but they just added to my arsenal. Gear and rack up to lead a pitch, but put a top rope on it as well. Lead the pitch as if there's no TR. It'll give you mental time to place gear without being as gripped. We did this more than once as well as on the difficult More Monkey Than Funky at J-Tree. Take it slow and become an expert at your craft. THEN go out and teach others. Praise God for my Mentor Roger E. Barnes, Poway, CA. 1981-1985.
Heart video, been getting back into climbing and been working on my mental game as well. I just try to take it one climb at a time. Please keep the videos come. 🙂
Hey the psicological part .. it is the same for me "always in charge" .. and I am the one who takes all the responsabilities in my family .. may be it is that.. but i cannot change my life ...
Great video !! My compliment !! I share the same fear problem , probably at the contrary of what you usually do I climb with stronger than me partners and they just walk on 5.12d/13a so when it is my "turn to" lead they do not understand my fear and do not empatise very much.. the last picth for example was a "wet" 5.11d partially bolted with a "crak climbin" exit around 5.7 (the last 10 mt or 20ft) they do not give me "friends or nuts" since they think it is "just 5.7" after you climbed a bad protected 5.11d .. the result was me stay in that crak jammed with my leg for 40minutes shaking and trying to protect myself by tying a knot on a service cord that luckily I had with me and fitting the knot like a nut... it was a horrible and terrifying experience, I didn't fall. Once I got down the comment was disgusting because it had "taken me forever" to get up.. .. Now I try to recover the pleasure to climb on easy route both bolted or trad. I subscribed to your channel ! Thanks .. I have a YT channel tooo if you would like to have a look
Holy crap... Time for new friends?! 😂
@@WanderlustRockClimbing Yes.. I do not climb with them anymore since one month and I also stopped climbing .. I was too stressed and now I miss "rocks" .. but I do not want to deal with and I do not have any other climbing partners..
Sometimes I wonder, why do we love such a scary sport?
Agreed!

The red rope could fray against the rock and snap
That 3rd placement, the silver nut, looks poor. Not good contact with the rock. Especially on the right hand side.
