love the more comments and interactions of your new video. it is fun to hear what is going throught your mind as you climb. not a lot of video maker like you; you niche that one nicely. thanks for sharing...
@@FirstPersonBeta You have been a natural at that for a long time; I'm not worried about your abilities. when there is nothing going through your mind just don't say anything - much better than trying to add audio which doesn't mean anything. My best advice to you is remain true of who you are and don't try to make it commercial like so many people do. Let's face it you need the HIts in order to stay alive on this channel and by all mean please do what you need to do in order to bring in the funds to stay alive and able to keep on producing, but also remember the smaller category of viewers who aren't interested in the commercial aspect of videos; "You" are the reason why I watch your channel because "you" are real! And not a commercial version of what your content attracted me in the first place. Cheers P.S. Love your Squamish videos. Being a local and able to see what I am going climbing in advance is really nice since I am still pretty green behind the ears.
I also like when you think out loud. It is helpful to understand what goes into your decision making. Silence is fine when you are not making a decision. Keep up the good work!
I remember the anchor situation at the top of the first pitch being a little weird I ended up clipping the same fixed nut but I found a bomber blue and yellow tcu placement after looking around for a while. Thanks for making a video on this, happy climbing!
did you have to run it out because you just didnt have larger gear? i mostly climb joshua tree so my gear is kind of larger than average so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I think when you moved left out of the corner you transitioned from Thais Direct on the standard PO first pitch. I agree, it’s a fun climb and I also wished I had some bigger pieces when I did it.
Upon finishing a pitch, the leader (me in this case) will build a belay from the top and belay my partner up the same pitch. They collect the gear as they come up. We'll repeat this process until we get to the top, at which point we either rappel or walk off (in this instance, we rappel ed down the other side of the wall. It's only 3 ft wide at the top, as you'll see.)
@@FirstPersonBeta I should have been more specific, when it comes to a single sports pitch. Thanks for the videos man! BTW all of your trad climbs are making me wanna start building a trad rack. I am gonna be fiscally irresponsible cause of 1PB lol
@@Govanification I've only used the yellow unfortunately. I think when i start to build my own rack ill invest more into the smaller totems because their way more bomber than the small DMM dragons or the BD cams. I haven't had the pleasure of using the larger Totems yet.
@@bker5376 For the money I was less compelled to buy 2 largest totem sizes, I just got black through green but they are incredible. One of the heavier cams unfortunately so for alpine I double them up with BD Z4's from 0.3-0.75. Smaller than that tho I'll prob go aliens or Totem Basics (if I can find them).

Thanks. Believe it or not, the commentary takes a bit of practice.

Nice climbing! That girth hitch through the biner slinging that first tree looks scary though...
santacruzrc Agreed, do you prefer to girth hitch the material and not the carabiner? I put both biners on the rope
Just basket hitch, or girth hitch. Leave that second biner out of it. Not good to put force on it like that. Just my thoughts.
정말 멋지네요~~ 영상 매번 볼때 마다 너무 좋아요~~

I would actually have like to see a timelapse belay. That would be quite cool
Hmm...that's a thought
@@FirstPersonBeta damn straight. Haha
I love your videos dude
No bullshit no vlogging clean good climbing.
Keep them coming!
Looks like a fun climb

11:08 A glitch in the matrix
When you are done with a route how do you setup for descent so you can pick up your pro? Do you rappel or transfer into a top rope to be lowered?

I have a video of myself just setting up a sport anchor on the channel you could reference.
I wonder that when you rappel down, did you leave your sling at the anchor to make it 3 point achor ?
That anchor is usually only used to bail if a thunderstorm comes in, and I personally would definitely leave an extra piece.
You lose a crack glove?
Totem cams are the shit!
I just got a full set, and it is worth every penny.
@@elonmusk452 whats the rock like on mars?
You like the red & orange sizes too?

Blah that number eight metolium Mastercam is my least favorite piece on my rack.
