Great video of an amazing climb and climber. I haven't followed the game in a while so don't know. What is the current thoughts on climbing a route with pre-hung draws?
It has been awhile! Climbing with pre-hung draws has been de rigueur since at least the mid 90s. Using pre-placed trad gear is still considered a pinkpoint, however.
Some still consider preclipped bolts a pink point; but then he skipped the no hands rest you can move out to. So I am pretty sure he could have done it without preclipping
I realize that this is an old video, but you stepped over the rope twice after the first draw. Climbing like that without a helmet is a recipe for injury. Nice work though. Stay safe.
Nice route with big moves and a lot of balance. Not just crimping on dimes.
Smoothly climbed. Beautifully shot.

Great video, nicely done.
nice video. love that red patina...brings me back, that's for sure. joshua tree is awesome.
Nice! Good cinematographie as well
Éste video esta muy bien hecho.
This video is very well done.
you should do one of Leave It To Beaver...that climb is a bit more varied and interesting, and one of the most classic lines in the park...
John Yablonski soloed it back in the day. RIP
Nicely done!
Awesome route and nice cinematography! What camera did you use??
Nice video. Any can comment on what size cam he place at the end and what if I dont' have any cams, would the climb still be safe? Thanks
Hand sized cam is nice, but you don't really need it IMHO.
Make sure you bring cams as don't forget to wear your socks.
Looks like he had a 0.75 and 0.5 Camalot on his harness.
Beautiful climb, so well executed. I'll have to give it a flash attempt this winter :)
God I love Josh, my ancestral home of climbing, back to 1978.
He is making me feel bad for not wearing socks and struggling on 5.9
That tre flip though
Has G-string been repeated yet?

Gotta love sport bolted choss. :)
Nice vid guys, subbed :-)
5:24/7:02 looks like a rose move in reverse.
12b..
When did you climb it?
That's a 5.12c/d? Looks more like a 5.10
Go onsight it then.
Probably a testament to how well he climbed it, making it look easy ;-)
Kurt Smith has the FA as a 12B. So 12c/d is fairly accurate.
