    This was the climb we did to do our rope jump, repeating Dan Osman's final jump ruclips.net/video/VIQQGp8SaI8/видео.html

    The real gold here is Ryan’s masterclass in fear management. 👏 A quiet, stoic approach works for some, but singing to yourself and talking to your gear may be more effective for others. I struggle to keep the lizard brain in check in some situations and watching Ryan has inspired me to give this approach a try.

    Great vid, thanks! Hey, when you test screamers, is there any chance you could test a daisy chain as well? Like as if you were to use it as an emergency fall arrest lanyard so that the stitching would rip and slow you down enough hopefully for the 'unstitched' sling to catch you? Edit:just seen this video was 1 year ago 😂 but would this potentially work?

      @@elilivezey7884 I would definitely agree on a free route, but because it's aid 4 and when that piece breaks off what will you hook to then, Plus there's bolts and rivets on that route already at least this would be natural and not a piece of metal.

      @chatttenn4814 3 года назад

      @@EverettWilson Yeah I definitely hate when holes wear out! At least there's new ones being made from all those pitons being used. What about a route that uses just bolt holes and removable bolt hangers by petzel, clean climbing with no hardware left behind, ie hangers an bolts. Aid climbing, with sport moves maybe a new climb style.
