WOW. hahah. I had to go back after just to see how many times you actually matched and let go on that hold and went back to both hands, then one hand, shifting weight. I mean you couldn't have inadvertently tried more to rip that rock out of the wall. Crazy. Your friends down there wear helmets?
Daamn, the second you grabbed the hold I was thinking that looks so loose, hurry up!! Felt like I was there with you trying to place the next piece, getting nervous :D Nice job man!
@@RogueBones I absolutely disagree with this. Cams walk. If rope drag is tugging upwards on a cam that's not in a great placement it can easily walk it out. Exactly the same applies to passive pro that isn't seated as well as you might want. @Léo is right, the more slack in the draw, the less friction there is on the pro.
@@RogueBones I would agree there was probably no need to extend the first 4 that he did. I would definitely have extended the few before the loose rock knowing that the route went around the corner and was a little chossy and the placements were a little marginal. Also I totally thought you meant just a crack as a generalisation, not specifically meaning on this route.
@@ZwittRion I know in principle why you extend pieces, but when they are placed vertically above the last ones, there is really no need. It just takes extra time and increases the fall distance.
nice send. you should do a whip compilation.

I just top toped for the first time outdoors and watching your videos is giving me the itch to learn how to trad!
Ida been bumping every potential hold on that cow pie.
so good!
DUDE THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL
Beautiful climb
Love your vids. Any reason you extend every single piece?
I think je does this to prevent the rope to pull the piece out of the rock. The more slack there is the less it can happen.

@@travisdrake2010 Absolutely, then it's maybe a way to tell himself that he won't fall anyway. That's a confidence thing haha.
Would've been a fun whip
Savage!!
What kind are the new shoes?
Butora acro
This dude has to be from Maryland, hun
that crag at 19:07 screamed nut
Saw so many spots for a .3 on the second runout Jeeze
So many tricam placements!
You should get some totems :) perfect for protecting horizontal cracks and face climbs!
He might have been using somebody else's rack. I know he's placed totems plenty of times in other videos.
Sorry dude, had to stop watching at at 3 mins as you sent my glass eye asleep.
