Checked off a life list climb! Positive Vibrations, all clean no falls! Here’s some footage of the day so I’ll never forget it. The adventure of a lifetime!
Great commentary amd super motivating, just discovered this route this year and caight a glimpse hiking to Barney Lake, it is indeed a goal to train for. And its good to have goals in life. Hope all is good vrother, thanks for sharing. Great commentary too for someone trying to sus out the route.
Loved it, such great climbingt! I'm always a bit jealous of all the granite in the us, I'm living in Innsbruck, all Limestone :D. And great Video man, keep going!
@@Karodrinker Well I guess I ended up doing the P3 11a traverse a bit higher than you now that I re-watched you doing, since doing it myself. Yours looked a bit more controlled than mine but I got the move clean! What a great climb. We only did the first 3 pitches the day we hiked in and ran out of daylight. We did Red Dihedral the following day but damn was it windy and not fun conditions! Can't wait to go back and get all of PV.
Righteous!! Kalen, we've never met, but I did meet Mike many years ago at Friend's Camp in Shuteye and got to hang out one night and cooked him dinner. Super nice guy.
@@bullionsean456 definitely had altitude issues, but never to the point of nausea. exhaustion was a constant. I just could not stay asleep the night before after we hiked in and felt wrecked when I woke up before the alarm. The exposure and gravity of the endeavor soon became far stronger than the lack of sleep and luckily clawed my way up every pitch. I should have trained on cracks beforehand to make it more pleasant, but it was a last minute adventure and I was highly motivated to send it.
@@Karodrinker I hear ya! I always find it hard to sleep the night before a big climb...or any climb tbh -- it sucks too bc you need that sleep. Headed out to CO to do pervertical sanctuary on the diamond and am a little nervous about the altitude. Sometimes I can get a little panicky after a hard pitch and feel like I can't catch my breath at the belay. The feeling always goes away after a minute or two but I've never been up past 10k feet or so.
Absolutely loved it, you are so funny, just love your sense of humor! Now I know why your hands are taped....shoot, I was grunting and moving side to side, breathing heavy....dang! Thanks so much for your wonderful episode, fantastic!
Hell yeah! What an amazing climb 🤩 Thanks for bringing us on the journey 🙏
Thanks for watching!
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!

Definitely the wildest climb I’ve ever done.
Thanks for the upload, good footage and commentary
yeah man totems inspire a lot of confidence in me on hard trad routes
They’re the best cams I’ve used by far.
@@Karodrinker Hey so how did you do with the altitude up there? Did you ever feel like you couldn't catch your breath after pulling some hard moves?

U wearing a protos for climbing?hell yeah
Only when I’m wearing the go pro camera, since it fits so well it doesn’t sag to one side from the camera weight.
