  • The desert is full of secrets, especially for a climber. There are many miles of cliffs waiting to be explored. Mason Earle has been driving force in the desert, and has spent many years searching the canyons of Utah for new routes. Over the past decade he has established some of the area’s most wicked climbs. This past spring Mason discovered an amazing unclimbed crack in a remote canyon seldom visited by climbers. This is the story of Ringlock Ranch.

    That's what it really means to have the willpower and means to accomplish what you really love in life. Using Google Maps/Earth to find a random crack on a random cliff to climb it, then take your car and equipment and actually make it to the top. Wow

    • @maxblair3317
      @maxblair3317 4 года назад +8

      Have you guys thought about the fact that this was a project before the ascent? Putting up a route takes more work than just sending it. For all you know he might have A0'd his way up to put up anchors before sending the route for the first time. And also the anchors aren't rusty, he's climbing god damn sandstone, there's obviously going to be some orange looking dust from drilling the bolts and the actual hangers grinding some of the rock off...

      It's a cam. It's a protection device that you compress to stick in the crack. Then once it is in a secure placement you let it expand and the force of the expansion keeps it locked in

      Probably NOT by rappelling in from the top. A lot of desert FAs are ground up, with hangs and aid climbing if need be to get to a good location to put the bolts. Hand drilling, putting the bolts in. Then working the route and getting a clean lead to the bolts another time.

      When climbing soft desert sandstone, you tend to place pro more often. If the fall is too long the cams can crush the rock under their lobes and the piece will fail. That especially true with the small cams he is using.

    • @Nathan-un6rb
      @Nathan-un6rb 4 года назад +1

      A lot of crack climbing is fairly similar. Finding unique cracks is hard to do. There are only so many that are already set. When all you do is climb and you've climbed what is available to you, you must look for more.
