    insanely underrated channel. Amazing send! And the in depth look at the route + the history of the area from the first ascensionist was an awesome touch

    Another great video dude. Love the close ups of the handholds, gear and foot placements. I can see you don't climb with a headcam so I really do appreciate the extra effort you put in to these productions.

      Thanks again man! I personally don't like go-pro footage, I think it actually makes the climbing harder to comprehend. This let's you see the movement/holds/gear/ and also not get motion sick haha

      I have my wife to thank for that, you'd be lucky you get a grainy butt-shot filmed with a potato if it wasn't for her.

    What a wild route! Ran into Ben while he was getting up on something near Glass Menagerie and he said you two met up! Awesome video, always appreciate the in-depth view of the holds and gear while climbing.

      Thanks! I felt like such a dope doing that but my stupid ethics wouldn't allow the pre-placement! Glad you appreciate it.

    Love that area I did my first aid line up invisible airways P2 and P3. The lower free part is also amazing. The most like west coast climbing you can get in the Southeast for sure!!

    They say if you climb on gear in NC you can climb anywhere. I hear the Gunks is similar in that sense. N Side is absolutely world class

    can I know what's the point of the first nuts placement? It seems that even with it it would be a ground fall.

    • @headpointhandbook
      @headpointhandbook  8 месяцев назад +2

      If it held it would just keep you off the spikey rocks. If it blew, it would absorb some energy of the fall and the rocks wouldn't hurt so bad haha
