  • I found a skyhook before the crux, but it would still not be a good idea to fall.

    Great video. I love the narrating through thoughts at each stage of the climbing, analysing everything to ensure minimal risk of falling.

    Really enjoying the narration style on this one, as well as the well chosen music building tension. Thanks Dave!

    What a wonderful little piece of story telling. Very well fitted music and I especially loved the narration style in the second person -"Take that crimp, feel the wind...". Also the scenery and those shots of you on that rock face with mountains in the background felt really inspiring to me, infused with Scottish wilderness and adventurous feel. Thank you Dave !

    That was an incredible video Dave. Whenever i see a new vid from you about one of your trad projects i get so excited! it almost makes me think that i am up on the route in the cold trying the moves.

    Loved that. After watching the last video where u say doing loads of milage doesn't really help u climb harder and to push at least once into the uncomfort ground every trip helped me loads. Ive been plodding for years on trad but climbing hard for me on sport. Yesterday i ticked my first E7 at nesscliff. Over the moon. Thanks for your insight and brilliant content. 👏

    Wonderful film Dave...seriously that was brilliant to see and hear your thoughts. The beautiful scenery helps, its a special place. I presume you were making the nut fit a placement better?

    I would love if you were able to show a close up of the gear you place on the route. I'm sure it adds another level of complexity regarding the camerawork but I think it would be really interesting to see!

  • @euanmurray8146
    @euanmurray8146 Год назад +1

    Awesome Dave, just wondered if you have ever talked about the pros or cons of climbing with more experienced climbers, but also if there is any value in being the most experienced in a group and teaching the less experienced.

    • @climbermacleod
      @climbermacleod  Год назад +2

      Yes, discussed in my book 9 out of 10... More than a few climbers have told me they moved climbing wall or even city after reading that.

  • @andrewhunter6536
    @andrewhunter6536 Год назад +10

    Awesome climb! Would be interesting to see what the placements are like one something like this. Since I guess what a pro worries about is useful to know especially since those were not micro cams or micro nuts mostly. Bad rock or really funky shapes?

    Hi Dave, great lead and commentary! I am curious about your thoughts on falling on tied down hooks. Do you think enough of them would actually hold an average fall? Or do you simply view it as better than nothing? Perhaps you could collab with HowNot2 and do some backed-up fall tests 😉

    Can someone explain why he uses file on his nut ?

    • @marcushill78
      @marcushill78 Год назад

      I'm sure Dave will reply. My thoughts are to either make it fit a placement, take off burrs, or increase it's bite on the rock.

    • @PB-sk9jn
      @PB-sk9jn Год назад

      My guess is to fit the placement better, perhaps to gain more softness/friction on rock than the anodised surface?

    • @climbermacleod
      @climbermacleod  Год назад +7

      Just to make it fit the unusual placement a little neater.
