This was one of the most helpful videos of the entire series for me. I'm really glad y'all decided to make this one. I understand all the major components of big walling but have a seemingly endless amount of small questions. This answered many of them.
I don’t usually comment. But this video is so bomber it deserves all the votes I can give it. The individual videos with every minute detail are great but having one video that ties it all together can fill in so many gaps and help so many people. It is so difficult to find how each step transitions to the next step the way that this video sums it up.
This is great! Seeing at all together helps to point out that each detailed video was one part of the system. Like when you are looking at a diagram and it says something like, "back-up system not shown for clarity." Teaching myself, its amazing how much time it takes just to get to the thing I want to practice. Set it all up, get in place, and then as soon as you start you realize that you forgot something, didn't realize how much space you actually need, or that you forgot to account for the "back-up system".
I'm not sending comment a lot but I should said that this last video, as the rest of the series, is just an incredible jewels. It is crazy to see how you are incredibly efficient, for every things. There are hours of training and repetition and one can only see it. You just give me an incredible motivation to learn how to big wall, just want to practice with my friends. A big Thanks to you for your incredible gift and work.
I've been looking for this sort of video for years -- definitely keep doing it! Watching examples in a closed environment is good, but nothing brings it together like being able to be a fly on the wall and watch the entire process. Thanks guys!
Definitely would like to see more A-Z type videos! The "classroom" instruction that this series has mostly included has been great, but actually going out and watching you do it as you would in real life is a whole new angle and is INCREDIBLY helpful. Jeremiah is an excellent teacher as he goes. This collab has been really enjoyable, informational and entertaining!
This is the best thing that has happened to me in my seeking of big-wall knowledge. As someone who learns from seeing things done this is invaluable content
Love the vid! Having the time stamps really helps to come back and check certain parts! Would love to see more of this! maybe even an A-Z on rope solo aid climbing
phenomenal video series. I dont big wall yet but theres so much in regards to safety that is useful for what I am doing. I appreciate these videos so much.
Wow, this just made me look at aid climbing in a different light. Great video, not only informative but really shows the aspects of things like how important rope management and having all the parts of your system dialed and how much practice is really needed to efficiently aid climb a big wall. Really good video here.
Ryan, Jeremiah, Andrea, thanks for making this video! I am not a big wall climber, not yet; I watched the entire video loving all the new information. The video is honestly quality entertainment. Its so cool to see how you both interact, provide feedback, keep moving and crack jokes all at same time while being safe*. Climbing has brought me so many amazing relationships with so many people and getting a glimpse of the friendships you guys have created is AWESOME🎉 Thanks again for all the great content. Top tier content. I love it!❤️
Honestly, I'd love several aid routes video'ed begin to end with all the dirty bits in it. Thanks guys! Love what you are doing. I enjoyed all the others, but this; I think, is / as the most helpful.
Great video! One mistake I noticed (and had to learn about the hard way on my first wall) was at ~38:00 minutes. You docked the bag on a biner that pinched the haul kit. If the bag had been heavy, you'd be unable to retrieve the haul kit biner. I always put the docking biner on the anchor "beneath" everything else for this reason.
The longer the better. Short is “fine” but when it comes to learning something I want no stone unturned. Thanks for this video. Such a huge help in understanding something I’ve never done.
personally, i think it is always better to learn by seeing A-Z and then having specific break out videos on portions you want to learn more about, and be able to ask questions directly to those videos. so, id say this is the right format. this is coming from someone who hasn't climbed a big wall ever, and has very minimal climbing experience. this was a very easy way to learn-- to the point that i would almost be dangerous in terms of overconfidence.
Congrats on publishing the final episode! I've really enjoyed this series, it's inspired me to start making my aid goals a reality. Thank you all so much for your hard work in putting this together -- open source learning at it's finest!
this was very helpful! I am considering getting into this and this video has gone a long way to solidifying moving forward. Thanks for the full hour enjoyed the whole thing while being informed and inspired
this is exactly the kind of content i'm looking for. i love seeing the whole thing in action. really gives me the confidence knowing what I'm getting into so my mind can be focused on climbing and not on how the haul line is docked wrong again.
Great video. I started gym climbing a year ago. I don’t think I will be big walling but it’s helpful to see these skills in action and in detail. I don’t have any outdoor locations to climb without traveling. Seeing you guys use the gear is great to see to spark ideas and thoughts that can be practiced (maybe) in the gym. First time outdoors will be with more experienced folks but I appreciate the content so that I have at least seen it or can practice it in a gym type environment. Thanks
I've never done any climbing, and I don't have any plans to start climbing. But I still watched this whole video just because I found it really interesting.
This is super helpful. Up to now I had no idea by what it meant exactly to "aidclimb" or "bigwall". I had no idea how most of it is progressing 1.5-2 meters at the time, leapfrogging nuts and cams almost all the way up with very little free climbing. It all starts to make sense now. Still something I would love to try some day. But it seems a little less exciting than climbing. Probably more of a workout though, seeing the amount of remplacement and pullups and hauls, etc.
I’ll just say that because of the location and risk that comes with big walling (I’d free climb El cap too if I could, but sadly can’t) the risk brings a whole new type of excitement
I've been watching this channel for over a year now and I'm not even a climber. Aside from a few indoor climbs I have no experience but I have recently decided to start climbing with the intention of eventually going up the cap. Just so overwhelming. I don't think I understand the climbing lingo enough to really know exactly what's going on lol. If any of you climbers ever want to help a newb with some gear questions I'd appreciate it
Thank you again for this serie ! Great way to end it, 1 hour long is not a problem for me, maybe not every time but sometimes it's just great to really see all the details and it's still possible to fastforward or skip some bits.
This "real deal" video was really nice, I could see some of the things that Jeremiah was thinking about when aiding that you didn't put into other videos. Maybe because he does it without thinking or because the videos were already too long for RUclips. Either way, I think this works great with conjunction of the other "theory" videos. The quality of the content you deliver to us is simply amazing! I'm definitely going to be supporting via Patreon.
Great video.... I was a little daunted with the duration, but found it enjoyable and educational, watching over a couple of lunch breaks - keep up the great content..... I feel like I need to leave an extra tip for this video, it was well worth paying for.
Hello! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I am so glad! I’ve been reading about this but to find a video to put it together is amazing. I am also excited I can go back now and watch the individual videos with this comprehensive one in mind. I’ve never climbed a big wall but am working toward it and was getting super overwhelmed by trying to imagine everything I read about. This has eased my concerns by making it more manageable through good instruction. I haven’t looked at your video archives yet, but I would like a video on rapping down because I hear that that’s where many accidents and rescues come from.
I mean thanks for all the work you put in, this is great. But I'd like to point out how much fun it was to also watch Jeremiah go from awkward scripted jokes to full on-the-fly banter. Really dig his sense of humor and delivery.
Epic video! It really makes me want get out there and get on those dynamic ropes! Single rope, open biners a few times I love it 😂. Also the level of comfort with those hooks! Incredible, cool as a cucumber. Super cool to see you putting all the things into practice👊🏻.
I have been reading the books and generally understand the theory of it, but a video like this helps me understand how to actually apply the theory. In other words, loved the video, if anything i could have used a couple more pitches. Thanks for all the great material you put out there!
I love the long videos. Not a climber, honestly never done any of the things from your videos but I have been binge watching all your content. It makes me want to go and do these things, obviously with people who know what they're doing 😁
Really nice work to all that worked on this. So excited to give this a try. Been free climbing at the 5.9 level for year and would love to try something new.
So much info in there. Nice work guys. I run a few Big Walling courses here in the UK every summer (mostly for folks heading towards your part of the world) and will be using a few choice phrases and tips from this video for sure. Keep it up, thanks a lot.
Loved this! The long presentation is super helpful. I have a crag in my area that has routes that require descending and hanging belays. Would love to see a video on this topic
Hey Ryan! Great video as usual! Sharing your videos with prospective big wall friends. Thanks! All Best Holiday Wishes for the 2023 New Year! Take Care. Cheers, Steve
This comment is late, but doing it for the Al Gore Rhythm. Yes, these types of videos are excellent and invaluable. Thank you and I look forward to the next long-form video!
I’d like another real life hour long video but on some c3/a2-3 stuff if possible full lead and all. I did city park aid 2 years ago in just under a half hour leap frogging a black totem and a .2/.3 off set cam. That being said it doesn’t take much skill to do so. I’d love to see a legit hard aid lead filmed and explained because it does not exist to my knowledge. Appreciate y’all with this series I definitely picked up a lot of extra knowledge throughout!
I agree and will see what type of video stuff we can get. This would be a great area of where the “how to contribute” material can come from as well. It’s hard to shoot said video on similar terrain but could try and get some examples at places like Devils Tower etc.
@@jeremiahletourneau9951 that’s not a bad idea Jeremiah and I’ll keep an eye out for anyone adding a video like that to the Bible. I know there’s a few videos online on el cap floating around of harder leads that could also somewhat work. Appreciate y’all the knowledge you guys have shared!
I dont know if you have to make an outdoor video like this; for category. Its helpful to have the continuity and context of seeing a mini pitch like this.
**Helicopter** "Rescue?" 🤣 that made my day Thank you for the long form content, I tots agree, longer format for the win and those who need specific info can ffwd/hump the time codes. Super interesting seeing how the systems work and even how ascending on dynamic isn't that shit if you do it right ❤ I got a long way to go before I get to go play out on the trad/clean multi-pitch but this stuff is great

Please don't be afraid of making hour long videos! They are amazingly helpful and easy enough to skip around through if needed :)

Ah, your secret filming location was my first aid climb about 35 years ago. It took me… somewhat longer. Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

Imagine how fast Jeremiah would be cruising if he wasn't explaining the process and just in a flow state? Awesome vid guys!!!
Honestly, I'd love several aid routes video'ed begin to end with all the dirty bits in it. Thanks guys! Love what you are doing. I enjoyed all the others, but this; I think, is / as the most helpful.
I think this video was most helpful too. I wish I could have done them all like this.
Super helpful vid. Thanks for all the work!
Rocky talkies are what we use on our high angle rescue team. They have been great!
Great video! One mistake I noticed (and had to learn about the hard way on my first wall) was at ~38:00 minutes. You docked the bag on a biner that pinched the haul kit.

SUPER HELPFUL to see all the pieces played out in real-time! Thanks for the effort to do this!

Easily one of the most helpful climbing videos I've ever watched.
This was the most helpful video you’ve ever put out. I have absolutely ZERO issue with the length. Major props to ya, Ryan 🤙
absolutely loved this longer format. so many things too see
Thanks!
I have never climbed before and this video make me want to. It neat seeing everything.
this was very helpful! I am considering getting into this and this video has gone a long way to solidifying moving forward. Thanks for the full hour enjoyed the whole thing while being informed and inspired
Thanks
this is exactly the kind of content i'm looking for. i love seeing the whole thing in action. really gives me the confidence knowing what I'm getting into so my mind can be focused on climbing and not on how the haul line is docked wrong again.
Really great video, I've been trying to find a video like this that is actually interesting as well as informative
I am from Indonesia. This is great, one of the most helpful videos. Now we can see other climb share benefit information. Thank s. Alee
Great video. I started gym climbing a year ago. I don’t think I will be big walling but it’s helpful to see these skills in action and in detail.

This video is fantastic. Great information and got me intrigued about aid climbing in general. It looks super engaging and fun

I was thinking the series was missing something like this to bring everything together. Great job and thanks.
Great video.... I was a little daunted with the duration, but found it enjoyable and educational, watching over a couple of lunch breaks - keep up the great content..... I feel like I need to leave an extra tip for this video, it was well worth paying for.
This content is so good i felt guilty watching it for free. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and experience.
Thanks!
Man.. super helpful is an understatement!! I've been looking for this video for years :) Many thanks to all three

Great video, I love the format.
I'd LOVE to see this, but for rigging long highlines (anchors, hauling etc)
Cheers !
Great content I don't mind an hr seeing the details it can save a life and thats worth the time
Epic video! It really makes me want get out there and get on those dynamic ropes! Single rope, open biners a few times I love it 😂. Also the level of comfort with those hooks! Incredible, cool as a cucumber. Super cool to see you putting all the things into practice👊🏻.

I love the long videos. Not a climber, honestly never done any of the things from your videos but I have been binge watching all your content. It makes me want to go and do these things, obviously with people who know what they're doing 😁
More of these types where you guys are actually climbing on rock, so cool and I learned allot.
I like all the details, I like the hour long videos please keep it in when you want to!
This is gold! Great video to really understand real life issues and timings
Really nice work to all that worked on this. So excited to give this a try. Been free climbing at the 5.9 level for year and would love to try something new.
Yes more of these A-Z videos! They're useful! 💯
Helpful and great!!! Excellent video! There is not much detailed information on aid climbing this good!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for taking us along! Super helpful!
Love the full A-Z. Got lots of great tips. No worries its a long vid
This is pretty helpful. I'm telling you that like it and it definitely learns me a bunch. Thank you. I watch for this type of content.
So much info in there. Nice work guys. I run a few Big Walling courses here in the UK every summer (mostly for folks heading towards your part of the world) and will be using a few choice phrases and tips from this video for sure. Keep it up, thanks a lot.
Great video! Would love to see more videos like this.
Love seeing A-Z content, especially after all of the part videos!
Awesomeness. Thanks you guys for making fun and informative videos ✌️
I loved the real time full length video
Love it! Getting ready for our first big wall and this helps so much!
i like these guys, they're very nice together
I like long videos. Thank you for doing this!
Love love ❤ and huge thank and respect ✊ I did city park in 2 hours so certainly this is just so beautiful to see you climbing so smooth.
Loved this! The long presentation is super helpful.
I have a crag in my area that has routes that require descending and hanging belays. Would love to see a video on this topic
Hey Ryan! Great video as usual! Sharing your videos with prospective big wall friends. Thanks! All Best Holiday Wishes for the 2023 New Year! Take Care. Cheers, Steve
This has been very helpful and entertaining as well. Great approach for this topic!
You guys have a lot more equipment than we did in the early 1960s. Had a lot of military surplus. Climed around Rocky Mountain National Park.
Nice tutorial , beautiful technic and very fast climber .
This comment is late, but doing it for the Al Gore Rhythm.
Yes, these types of videos are excellent and invaluable.

This is such a great channel
The best thing i v ever seen, great job R&J your channel is verry helpful You guys "Rock" !
Rock... did you get it 😅
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for this long format! Can't wait to see the same video swapped!💗💗
I dont know if you have to make an outdoor video like this; for category. Its helpful to have the continuity and context of seeing a mini pitch like this.
You are awesome! An hour is amazing!
most helpful video i've seen. do it more. thank you
I don't climb, but the army did teach vertical rappelling, but this stuff is fascinating.
Very very helpful seeing the full process
**Helicopter** "Rescue?" 🤣 that made my day
Thank you for the long form content, I tots agree, longer format for the win and those who need specific info can ffwd/hump the time codes.
Super interesting seeing how the systems work and even how ascending on dynamic isn't that shit if you do it right ❤
I got a long way to go before I get to go play out on the trad/clean multi-pitch but this stuff is great
I think this was a really informative format
Yes this was very helpful please make these longer videos more often this leaked it let easier to make sense of all the things to do
Super helpfull and entertaining! more like this is appreciated! better then on plywood!! for sure
