First Person Rock Climbing: "Is This For Real? (5.10), Thunder Ridge, Colorado
Too many good 5.10s at this area. Another 4 star classic line. This area "The For Real Canyon" may be my favorite sub-area at this beautiful crag, especially with all of the shimmering aspens beneath the wall.

Fall @13:30 when a foothold breaks Another really good pitch. The rock in some parts is a bit less secure (such as the foothold that exploded at the crux). A traverse to a badass mantle, then a thin crux to a rad crack and slab rambling to the top.

The best line in the Voo? Seriously incredible. Thin hands with OK stem feet in a double-overhanging dihedral. 5 Star anywhere baby. I onsighted this thing (5?) years ago, but I came back for another redpoint burn on this bad thang.

An awesome pitch of tiny crimps and uber-tricky slab wizardry on a super windy day. Really fun cranking on tiny sloping crimps with 20 mph gusts. A really cool route on a really cool feature in the middle of nowhere.

Another cowboy classic. Tricky sequence down low with tricky pro, followed by a splitter thin hands crack that quicky turns into a dihedral with another thin hand crack. Amazing climbing! The Crack was UBER dirty, and I kept getting sand and dirt in my eyes while climbing, and the thin jams felt insecure due to the grime... but... I guess you need a lil spice and grime in your life.

A great route. Interesting OW down low to a cool pod and a roof with great holds. Then, awesome hands and thin hands with a short ringlock section to the chains.

This was the first climb that I ever looked at in the South Fork, and naturally I was stoked to get on it in such fat conditions this year. The ice was in really nice conditions but fractured really easily, which was a problem with my belayer beneath me, as well as another party of ice climbers making their way up the first pitch beneath us. I certainly took my time and was more careful with sc...

Fantastic looking line! At one point I thought the rock looked a lot like City of Rocks.
@@tphill30 it’s very reminiscent of city of rocks… but dare I say… better!
Are ”friends” used exclusively now or are stoppers and hex wedges still used for protection?
I always carry a set of stoppers with me, and tey are especially useful on the Tower. I never use hexes any more, although I do have a rack of them. I'd say that I use "friends"/cams for 90% of my placements now because I have a lot of them, they are fast, safe, and bomber. I do love some good stoppers though.
@@bradfordLburns Thank you for the reply. I haven’t climbed since the 1980s and I don’t really see it my future at this point. But TH-cam is a marvel, enabling you follow others who do things you are either not able or not inclined to take on yourself.
@@qrplife I hear this a good bit from individuals - folks who used to climb or who have climbed these routes in the past who are grateful that they get to vicariously climb these routes again or experience climbing through me. I feel deeply grateful and humbled that I sometimes get to provide that for folks. Thanks for your comment, and for the support.
How do you get rid of fear of falling? I feel like its limiting me quite a lot, but after falling, i still have extreme fear...
Oh jeeze, thats a really difficult question to answer. For me it really just took a lot of time. It's probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but I just got better about not being afraid the more I exposed myself to it. I would absolutley be lying if I said I didn't still occasionally have fear of falling, though! Practice, Practice, Practice/
@@bradfordLburns thanks tho, at least i know what it takes!
Well done 👏 recommend putting in some gear before topping out - you left a serious runout to the top
Nice work Brad. That's a proud send! Careful with that gear though; the gates of your carabiners always need to face away from the direction of the lean of the crack (direction of climbing), and ditch those alpine draws (they create opportunity for cross loading your carabiners). Minor details add up, those two changes to how you use your hardware may safe your life Brad. Hope to see you out on the Ridge some day! Cheers
Tool will always provide victory
I've sent like 4 of my hardest routes to Tool.
Good song
Tool gives me 40 year old dad strength
I live here! The Heap is so fun. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm starting to enjoy Laramie a lot!
Always love the vids. Keep doing the thing.
Thank you!

What a beautiful climb! What part is the crux?
There really isn't a specific crux, as much as the pump just builds. This route overhangs in two directions, and the last 20' are thin hands leading to a short off-fingers section. I'd say thats where it gets difficult! However, the feet are pretty good, and you can kindof stem your way through it if you're good on your feet.
@@bradfordLburns Thanks, amazing climb and send!
Dude no cuts, no dialogue, just 9minutes of straight trad and heavy breathing. Best TH-cam video I’ve seen in my life
Hahaha, straight up RAW my dude
That route looks amazing, so fun!
It's probably my favorite single pitch in the Voo!
Burly looking route, Brad. Great job!
Thanks Dude!
That's so nice! Looks hard, I've never done crack climbing. Some of the cams looked a bit overcammed
Its such a great route! Probably my favorite in the Voo!
Good effort!
@@ipafnatic thank you!
fcuk me ! Mate ! What a fight ! AMAZING !
Thanks dude!
Lol this is tremendous
Thanks!
Hi! I follow you because I like your videos about ice falls. I m looking for read more info about it in Montana, but i don't find anything on line. Could you send me a link or something to help me? Thanks
Vfomosb
Great video, Brad! Great to watch you pick your way through those slab sections.
Thanks!
does this video have no audio?
I guess not... That's really strange, It certainly had audio when I uploaded it. That sucks too because I already deleted the video off of my computer. Womp Womp.
Probably a good thing though because the wind was whipping the whole time and I'm sure it just sounds like wind the entire video.
Buddy, really nice climbing. I live here in Wyoming and Fremont is my local crag. Been climbing 3 years and Dillingham on gear is a serious goal of mine. I kept getting spit out a little after pulling the roof above the belay. Subscribed!
Thanks for the support! I love climbing at Fremont - although - its getting more popular it seems!
I live in Casper if you wanna meet up to climb
@@michaeldority2692 Hey man, me too! What’s a good way to share some contact info on something like TH-cam to explore this further? A bit hard meeting new climbers without an indoor gym.
@@jaredmartin3728 I’m on mountain project
@@michaeldority2692 I may be in Casper for a 16 week Internal Medicine Rotation this time next year. I will certainly be looking for partners during that time if thats the case!
Man, Brad, that think looked dirty! Were the jams insecure? Crazy cool surroundings, though! Ah, you mentioned the dirty jams.
It was super dirty, actually, which was really surprising for me. I think since it is under the bridge it just gets dirty every season, but I was unpleasantly surprised to get so much dirt in my eyes.
This one looks way fun
Yeah, it's such a phenomenal little line!

nicee brah. im 15 currently and cant wait to hop into them cracks

You got 1st twice dawg.
Thanks for posting this. Brought back great memories. Nice lead.
Thanks for the comment. It's such a great line, huh?
for the traverse did you bring a full double rack?
No, I think just a single from .4-#3 and a set of stoppers
that small screw makes me nervous
Yeah it’s not my favorite piece of gear.

Great spotting!
That was a high intensity pitch! Damn!!
ice is nice

I love the bonus no-hands rest at 3:20! Great job, Brad!
Such a nice rest!
My husband and I climbed that route on our honeymoon in 2002. We started too late and it took us forever. We had to spend the night at the top as it was too dark to make our way down. He thought it was romantic--me, not so much! You make it look easy.
That's an awesome story, thanks for sharing, sounds like an epic! Those are the sort of things that aren't "romantic" in the moment, but are the stories you tell together for a long time, I bet! Such a phenomenal route.
First, you have excellent stamina! No way I could I have held those positions on the rock for as long as you did while calmly plugging gear. Second, that's a 10a??? Looked way more difficult than that in the second half. The Devil's got high standards for sure. Good job keeping your head and getting the 'scend.
Thanks! Haha, I think it looks a bit steeper than it is in the video, its a bit slabby so you can really trust the feet and try to relax. I will say that this route felt pretty sandbagged to me compared to other .10s on the tower. And the second pitch is a 140' fist crack that is SOOO brutal. The Tower will show you how real 5.9 feels haha.
I remember doing this climb in "91. We started on the Green Dragon. It was a really fantastic route. I think the Green Dragon start made the slabby exit from Mr. Natural a little less intimidating. Although I did take a couple of falls on the Dragon. Highly recommend.
I need to spend like 4 months in Yosemite. I just am so bad at slab climbing, and I think hopping on a ton of slab there would make me a much better climber.
@@bradfordLburns I grew up climbing at Tahquitz and Suicide rocks. There` were a lot of thin slab climbs so that's what we did.. Slab climbing was frowned upon by some as the grades grew and steep climbs were all the rage. Still the delicate dance of thin smears can be good fun.
solid climb Bradley
Thanks, Dawg!
Awesome video man! How would I go about getting in one of these episodes?
Thanks! I appreciate it! What do you mean? Like belaying/climbing? :)
Hey Brad! is 22:20 the exposed boulder step? cool video!
I believe that is correct! It's been a while since doing this, but this is right before the tunnel through.
Piney productions does some fine work! Love the pano at the end.
Yooooo! Thanks my dude!
You've got the right approach Brad. After years of climbing, it's truly the 'Joe average' that's out there and there's miles of great routes that go unseen. Great vids, keep it up.
@@grumpygardner3059 thanks for the comment, I love seeing things like this, gets the fire stoked and helps me feel more confident that this might take off a bit!
Such a cool concept for a series!!!
@@arebalwithacause thanks! Looking forward to filming more episodes. We just finished shooting episode 2 yesterday!
Hope you do Hotline as well!
That line is great, I loved it!
So sick. Hyped for this series
Thanks for the psych!
awesome video! good Attitude. ans sic rout. wish I had that in my home crag
Thanks for the kind words! I know, I wish I could climb Red Rock every day.
This is sick!
Thanks! Looking forward to putting out more episodes like this.
