Just an FYI, it was probably unlikely that that peregrine would have been protecting a nest there in February. They're mostly going to be nesting later in spring: mating is late March-ish, with courting behaviours and establishment of nesting territory a little before that. So you may have dissuaded that bird from choosing that particular ledge, but, again, you were probably OK in terms of not interfering with the schedule of nesting behaviours. a little late to the party with this comment, but figured it was worthwhile to throw in there. Note also that I say this not as a wildlife biologist, but as merely a raptor enthusiast from Pennsylvania. So, y'know, internet comments not being the best of resources, if you were wanting more authoritative information, you could contact the cornell ornithology center and ask them.
If you are using nothing but cams that already have a carabiner attached to them then why rack your alpine draws with 2 carabiners? The slings over your head only need one carabiner on them in that case. Also bonus style points for climbing in jeans and a sweatshirt.
Why are you sometimes using dyneema alpine draws and sometimes (like here) just nylon slings with biners? Same difference I guess, just wondering. Love the content though!
Dude your belayer is so far from the rock (like 12 feet too far). If you fall, he’s gonna be pulled inwards towards the rock for that whole 12 feet, resulting in you falling an extra- you guessed it- 12 feet! Also the belayer could be forcefully thrown towards the base of the climb in the event of a fall, leading to possible injury.
Everything looks fine except the belayer standing too far from the rock face. In case of leader fall - first of all - your bottom placements may be pulled out of cracks and if your top placements fail, you'll hit the ground. Secondly - belayer will be pulled towards the wall and may hit it hardly resulting even in blackout - especially when he is not wearing helmet - and dropping you to the ground. I had similar accident in the past with my belayer and we both finished in hospital with broken bones, while surprisingly I'm still alive, but not fully recovered over years... Apart from that thanks for sharing the videos. I enjoy watching your climbs :)
What's the knot that you tie your cord up with when it's on your harness? Also agree on seeing you build the anchors. Its nice to see the different ways
I think he meant as an actual belay for Eric. What I think I saw was essentially just a mini top rope re direct type belay. Kinda nice when you’re far back from anchor
Hey man I was curious where this is at? I watch a lot of your videos and these multi pitches looks so amazing and fun. Me and the wife are going to be moving within a year and just curious where this was cause these look great :) have a good one love watching first person views
FirstPersonBeta oh ok me and my girl were thinking about moving to north jersey. We are in SF currently but kinda want to be back and human interaction again lol.
I would really love to see you build your anchors everytime tbh
I started including the anchor building in the past year or so if I know I'll have the battery life to finish the climb.
@@FirstPersonBeta yeah I suppose batter life is definitely a factor with several pitches
Amazing footage bro. Can’t wait to get back out there. Thanks for including the anchor building too!
Not a problem. I've started including it when I know battery life isn't a problem.
FirstPersonBeta yeah my go pro 5 eats battery so unbelievably fast

Great convo w/ the bird.
We seemed to quickly come to an understanding.
Love your videos - thx for sharing them!
First pitch 3 pieces of pro in 100 ft ,easy .now the 2nd pitch is a trip, hence the name High Exposure. That was in the 90s.
I think those nuts had been there since fall.
What was the length of the cordalette you used for the anchor? Great vid man thank you

agreed. wouldnt want my belayer so far from the base

Looks like a daisy chain with the ends clipped together so it doesn't unravel
Or if you’re asking the knot tying the chord together end-to-end, it’s a blinker fisherman’s
Double fisherman’s*
Are you using a munter hitch to belay from atop?
Clove Hitch.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that's pretty much the set up. Unfortunately, when the anchor point is so low to the ground, it makes it a little awkward.
Nice Peregine Falcon sight!

Thanks Man. This is at the Shawangunk ridge or "The Gunks" just outside New Paltz, NY

I can't watch these go pro shots, they're hard to watch...
