On another note, could you show more of your anchor building like you used to in past videos? I don't normally make requests on peoples videos, and maybe this has been addressed already, but just thought I'd ask since I enjoyed watching how you tackle different types of anchor situations. I won't be surprised if you've had people request the opposite of you in the past which might be why you cut the videos at the anchor build now. Either way, keep up the great content! I just found your channel recently and have been really enjoying your commentary and have already learned a thing or two!
The fact that you have rock so available is amazing... I have to drive 3 hours to get to a mediocre crag that has all the holds caked in mud. Living in Iowa...
Hi, I'm starting trad climbing and this help me a lot, it's an amazing route ! I was wondering, how do you capture your video ? With a go pro ? Have a nice day
This is an amazing climb on a beautiful piece of rock. I may have missed the beta on the route in the previous videos, but where is this pitch and where can I find more info on it. Thanks, it is a really nice video and I love the first person point of view!
For next time, most people go to the summit anchors. That tree is sketch and then you’re already set up for rappelling if you so choose. PO might be my least favorite actual climbing at Seneca. Great exposure but the climbing isn’t enjoyable IMO.
Best moderates at Seneca that I've climbed are Soler 3 pitches(5.7) trad, Ecstasy 3 pitches(5.7) trad, and Triple S 2 pitches (5.8) trad. All three are super steep but lots of pro and good holds.
I placed that yellow DMM dragonfly 3 months ago haha! I knew it was a terrible placement but I just wanted to shove something in that crack before running to the anchors. My second tried for almost an hour, it is VERY stuck lol
Yeah I love the Dragonflies, super flexible stem but they never feel floppy when you are placing them. They are light but feel really solid and durable, and the thumb loop feels great, unlike the old aliens haha
@@everettlund7778 Haha funny place to find this comment. I tried like hell to clean that thing in October, lowered back down to it after the pitch and all. I think it'll be there until the next ice age.
I love watching as you climb, and trying to pick good gear placements before you place it. Oddly satisfying while I sit on my couch.
Nothing has been as educational for me than to watch you climb
I live in Indonesia now. Having climbed in Spain for most of my life, I miss having rocks like that for trad climbing. Nice video!
I love it when you apologize for hitting the camera, you care so much for our experience of the climb :)

Man, I love watching your videos. As a beginner, I get a lot of insight into things and its just plain thrilling to watch
@3:54, good point, yelling a person’s name before “Take!” it could get downright confusing in a popular spot
Climbing!!! Take!! On belay!!! Take!!!
Yeah, that S can get people killed if you're belayer thinks it's you yelling "TAKE" and gives a good yank on the rope!

Try living in the Mississippi gulf coast.

Oops, never mind. Clicked a few times and answered my question - Seneca Rocks in the New River gorge area. Should have recognized it.
Gonna climb The Nose anytime soon?
Dude... The Nose is a 29 pitch 5.10 A3 (or 5.14 free) Grade 5, while Pleasant Overhangs is a 3 pitch 5.7 Grade 1. How goofy of you to equate the two.
Is Seneca actually as chossy as it looks?
No. Pro buries there, the rock is solid, and it is very free of moss, wetness, and loose stuff. It is amazing.
FIRST!!!! :)

I hope your follower was able to snag that new DMM Dragonfly 😂

And yes it was BRAND NEW when i placed it haha
Everett Lund RIP dude.. do you recommend them though? I’m in the market for some new microcams.
