Congrats. Nice video. That’s me in the photo used at the beginning of your video during my on-sight back in the 80’s. A local told me it was the first on-sight of the route, which was a cool extra feeling for an already awesome route. Cheers!
Wonderful video. And thank you SO much for not covering the real climbing sounds with loud, crappy music as many others unfortunately do! Awesome to watch the process and your joyful attitude through the whole thing.
Been waiting all week for this video and it didn't disappoint! So happy all your hard work we saw in the previous video pay off! Congrats Noah and you have a phenomenal group of friends to help you out and support you
Dude! This is inspiring to see you get on something like this! Desert gold and a few other roof cracks have been on my tick list forever, I want to fly out and get on one now!
Hi Noah, greetings from France! So great to discover that amazing route, we don't have many crack climb here. So nice to feel how positive your climbing crew is!
Thats so scary bro. Inspiring, i could never imagine being so high but hopefully with time and pushing my comfort zone i can get there one day. Amazing for only 3yrs trad climbing wow.
Really rad, sucks you got rained out. When did you attempt the climb? I'd be interested in a date or like a month/year label on one of the ariel shots just for a bit more info on it. Super glad the training has paid off, hope you can run it in full another time.
Thanks! You have to just down climb the same way! I went feet first and rested a few times at each cam then pulled the cam out and climbed to the next one.
Hey spencer and vivian.. has anyone told you that you are awesome today? Well let me be the frist.. you two are awesome! Great job being out there supporting your friend.
Really proud send of the roof. After watching you climb ying yang I'm not surprised that you struggled on the ring lock section. Looks like you need to train that thin hands/ring lock technique. That's often a skill that separates good crack climbers from those who aren't. That size often requires good technique and body tension as both the feet and hands aren't good
When watching the pervious video I was like I wonder if he know hard those over hanging ring locks are!? great video and just a more training and you'll send!
Check out The Monument at White Bluff near Lion’s Head- it’s Desert Gold’s bigger, meaner brother. Three times the length, consisting of fists and hands with a paddle hands crux right at the lip. Heinous!
I was privileged to witness the first free ascent by Stefan Glowacz, top German crusher, in 1987. He didnt flash in his face climbing boots but came back the next day and cruised it in slippers. Such a gorgeous fearure, but my knuckles ache just looking at the lower crux. Yin an Yang looks awesome. Red Rocks trad is unique
The belayer follows and “cleans” the route meaning when he finishes that section the people below him do the same route picking up his gear along the way.
Thank you for this response! How do they both get down? Do they have to reach a bolt to abseil? Curious if no one could reach a bolt, what are the solutions to worst case scenarios. If there is any guide recs, would love to know!
Ying Yang and that other climb you did on rest day are really cool. Did those last feb. I'm curious about how hard the roof of climbing gold is. It looks handsize and not that hard compared to the first ring lock part. Is that an accurate impression?
It is an amazing route ! But seriously ? "Most Iconic roof Crack in the country" ? I would guess over 1/2 of U.S climbers have never even heard of the route. Kudos on your progress. Now onto 'Seperate Reality' and the 'Rostrum' in the Valley or the Zombie Roof at 'Squeamish:)
why do you place so many cams in the finger crack section? is it because they could come out, or is it just to reduce fall distance, etc.? i want to get into trad climbing, so any tips about gear placement would be appreciated.
I think because he is scared of falling. The cams are in a perfect deep splitter crack. In solid rock. There is no way they are coming out. I think the first two close together make sense becaus they keep him from falling on the belay-ledge (I think) and then it absolutely makes sense to have a backup. But after that I think it is for psychological reasons. I am also scared of falling on to my placed gear. :D But with this awsome splitters the "better" strategie would be to practice to trust the gear and then waste less endurance on placing LOADS of it. BUT I very well might be wrong. I am not very experienced myself. :D
@@sportenapfeltorten2095 if he's also pretty sure hes gonna fall, you do want as close a progress capture as possible so youre not reeclimbing the same 10ft and getting super gassed
In this case it was so I could just aid up and pull myself up! Probably don't need to place so many but might as well not weigh myself down for the roof
Ringlocks are MEAN :( I tried like 6 ringlock-moves on crack-trainers and my thumb-nails hurt for the next 5 hours. I also couldnt really put any signifikant weight on them. Please help. How do you make them work?
@@LiamWilsonisbeastly hmm ok have to look those up. Thanks a lot! :D I think most jams dont exceed my pain-level but Ringlocks and Teacup-Fists are just Sooo painfull. :((( :)
@@NoahKane :) Glad to hear even the people who make money by climbing struggle with some crack techniqes. :D I feel like ofwidth is actually fine to me. But fingers and especially wider fingers. Just scary
Dude rattly over hung fingers, please make a video on this about how to train. I can’t find info anywhere besides squeeze hard lol which it’s probs most of it 😂
Shoutout to Spencer and Vivian, the support crew that makes these climbs worthwhile
Yes! Thanks for watching
Every dedicated climber needs a dedicated crew (friends)
so true!
This is why I am stuck bouldering, haha...... so lonely. Hmu, if you wanna find a gem of a spot in Oklahoma......yeah, Oklahoma.
@@OutlawGuitarSlingerthan what?!
Thanks Spencer! Thanks Vivian!!!
Yes! Thank you!
Not every climb has to be a flash, nor every session a redpoint. Still a great video, glad you enjoyed it
Words to live by! thanks for tuning in
Yin and Yang was such a gorgeous send, thank you for including it!! Spencer, Vivian, and Noah ❤️❤️🫡🫡
haha yes of course, thank you!
This is insanely impressive, Noah. Thank you for sharing such an incredible thrill with us. And thank you, Vivian and Spencer! You guys kick ass.
Congrats. Nice video. That’s me in the photo used at the beginning of your video during my on-sight back in the 80’s. A local told me it was the first on-sight of the route, which was a cool extra feeling for an already awesome route. Cheers!
This is incredible! So glad the algorithm made the connection!
YEAH! Congrats! Great camera work! Please continue bringing this wonderful content
absolutely epic. Can't wait for episode 2 for the full send. 💪
Cheers Mike! Hopefully coming soon
Wonderful video. And thank you SO much for not covering the real climbing sounds with loud, crappy music as many others unfortunately do! Awesome to watch the process and your joyful attitude through the whole thing.
Yes! Glad you enjoyed
Killer job belayers and camera crew production can’t happen with out your help love it
Yes! Thank you for watching
sick climb. you worked hard for that. Spencer got the perfect shot.
So impressive through the roof, you absolutely cruised it! Mad respect and very inspiring 🎉
Been waiting all week for this video and it didn't disappoint! So happy all your hard work we saw in the previous video pay off! Congrats Noah and you have a phenomenal group of friends to help you out and support you
Thanks for staying tuned! Appreciate you following the journey!
Great video love the Scarpa helixes as well and shoutout to Spencer and Vivian!!!
I'm liking them! thanks for watching
14:54 we’ve all had those moments with our belayer 😂. Nice send on the roof dude 🤙🏼
Probably just friction, all those roof clips are hard and that one is the longest one and sharpest angle
@@simonwilliams9850 For sure
Spence & Vivi!!!! Thank you for being good friends and BeLaying our widdle Noah! Love y’all!
great video as always! incredible climbing on incredible rock
Cheers Collin! Thanks for tuning in as always
So glad I was able to come in contact with your content love the vibe! Shout out to you and your amazing crew looking forward to more vids!
Thanks!!

Looking strong Noah! Stoked for you and thanks for the awesome episode

Greetings! Thanks for watching
Spencer and Vivian are the kind of friends no person can ever deserve! ❤
Yes agreed

Good climbing man, the rock will be waiting for you when you come back
Words to live by! Thanks dude
Thats so scary bro. Inspiring, i could never imagine being so high but hopefully with time and pushing my comfort zone i can get there one day.
Amazing for only 3yrs trad climbing wow.
spencer and vivian are the goats
Nice!! Was cool running into you at farley a week or 2 ago!
Likewise!!
Spencer and Vivian are the beating heart of this channel.
Agreed!
Awsome video Noah! Love the content :) the editing and filming angles were spot on. Keep it up!
Thanks Joshua!
09:45 love that cheeky cam slide :) awesome vid mate!

Woop wood!!!! That's awesome! shout out to Spencer and Vivian! That was sweet!
Yes! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos dude. Question about roof cracks.. how tf do you clean your gear on a roof like that?
Thanks! You have to just down climb the same way! I went feet first and rested a few times at each cam then pulled the cam out and climbed to the next one.
Hey spencer and vivian.. has anyone told you that you are awesome today? Well let me be the frist.. you two are awesome! Great job being out there supporting your friend.
We ❤ Spencer and Vivian
Kind words!!!! OMG great work you guys!

love your content keep climbing❤
I love your comment! Will keep climbing
Spencer and Vivian, so stylish, what icons.
Best crew ever, great video.
Hahah thanks!
roof flash was so sick!!
Amazing video!
When watching the pervious video I was like I wonder if he know hard those over hanging ring locks are!? great video and just a more training and you'll send!
welp they were hard! haha

This is awesome! You should come to the UK, specifically Dartmoor, not the kind of cracks in this but burley nonetheless :)
Would love to come to the uk at some point and just get scared out of my mind
@@NoahKane ha! Sounds about right, don’t get disheartened by the savage sandbagging too😂great video though!
Looks like a lot of fun!
It sure is
Spencer and Vivian, great guys out there! (let's hope they are still there with Noah, and didn't leave him alone till the rescue team comes)
Hahah yes! Well thankfully enough of you liked and subscribed so they came and rescued me
Good effort dude!
100% need to get to the uk

So cool!
We love Spencer and Vivian (especially Spencer's stache)
Yes!
i need a spencer and vivian in my life
Can you share how you get down and retrieve your camalots back (especially on overhang roofs)? Those remain a mystery to me...
The belayer follows and “cleans” the route meaning when he finishes that section the people below him do the same route picking up his gear along the way.
Thank you for this response! How do they both get down? Do they have to reach a bolt to abseil? Curious if no one could reach a bolt, what are the solutions to worst case scenarios. If there is any guide recs, would love to know!
@@milomodoyou back aid climb your way back down. Or you ditch a two piece anchor you build in place.
I'm still up here
Wow.... Beautiful place...., good job bro... #strong guy
Something about the peaceful piano music and the absolute insane strength it takes to climb a crack sounds a bit off to me😂
Haha gotta keep it fresh
Personally, I loved the music. What/who is it?
Solid friend group. :D
Sry you didn't send, but you have such a great attitude. Good job man. And good job support team.
no wide boyz comment yet?
Kind words about Spencer and Vivian
i wanna see the footage of retrieving those cams haha
Haha it is not sexy footage
Ying Yang and that other climb you did on rest day are really cool. Did those last feb. I'm curious about how hard the roof of climbing gold is. It looks handsize and not that hard compared to the first ring lock part. Is that an accurate impression?
Yes! With all the roof crack training I did before I found the roof to be quite manageable
Bro you are amazing ❤❤❤
Se viene con todo el round 2
Great work! But how did you clean that route ? Lol
Just down climbing the same way actually feet first! Quite annoying
Heroic!!! 🤩
Vivian's the best!
Yes! Agreed!
Spencer and Vivian the real MVP's
Yes
Spencer, Vivian, you guys are awesome!
Yes!
lots of people think they have a chance at this rig but the truth is they do not.
Before the reveal my guess for the covered sticker was something about “bomber”
oo right that is also to be avoided in airports
That roof looks so sick! Just work with the finger jams and thin hands and you'll send it!
Will definitely be coming back to it
You’ll send it 💪🫡
I can tell the editor enjoys Wes Anderson
guilty as charged
The camera angle does not show how overhang the finger Crack (crux) is ! :)
It is an amazing route ! But seriously ? "Most Iconic roof Crack in the country" ? I would guess over 1/2 of U.S climbers have never even heard of the route. Kudos on your progress. Now onto 'Seperate Reality' and the 'Rostrum' in the Valley or the Zombie Roof at 'Squeamish:)

@@NoahKane
Ah ok! that make sense.
You see them up like I do. Nevermind I am on 5.8 trad but same same
Gotta keep it safe
@@NoahKane absolutely dude. I’m having to force myself to not use most of a double rack on a single pitch. I’m still very freaked out on trad
You should climb trees with magnus
Haha!
I liked did they let you down?! I’ll favorite.
Yes! I'm finally rescued. Thank you 4 saving me!
Ringlocks are MEAN
:(
I tried like 6 ringlock-moves on crack-trainers and my thumb-nails hurt for the next 5 hours.
I also couldnt really put any signifikant weight on them.
Please help. How do you make them work?
finger stack instead unless there's a constriction
@@LiamWilsonisbeastly
hmm ok have to look those up.
Thanks a lot!
:D
I think most jams dont exceed my pain-level but Ringlocks and Teacup-Fists are just Sooo painfull.
:(((
:)
Dude I'm still figuring them out myself!
@@NoahKane
:)
Glad to hear even the people who make money by climbing struggle with some crack techniqes.
:D
I feel like ofwidth is actually fine to me.
But fingers and especially wider fingers.
Just scary
Bro come India and climbe the sahyadri there are many climbing places but there are very deficult to climbe in Maharashtra
Call up Pete Whittaker for a climbing course 😊
Goat
Without Spencer and Vivian there would be no Crack and I love crack
logic is great, they are crucial to the crack!
You should belay and video them on their dream routes
Will do!
Dude rattly over hung fingers, please make a video on this about how to train. I can’t find info anywhere besides squeeze hard lol which it’s probs most of it 😂
I too know the pain of being perpetually shortroped by my girlfriend
you finally sent it! good job!
hy
can you put on a helmet please?
its USA not America
There is no god other than allah
