I took one top rope trip up north for my first time then figured out i could ice climb in the southeast. I will say its nothing like up north or out west though. You cant just go do it you gotta be watching the weather for weeks and weeks until it all falls into place.

@ that’s good to know, thanks

@ appreciate it

@@WalkerRacing did not bail lol

This is at sunset rock in chattanooga tn. You can rapell down wuith just a gri gri but theres a few issues with using a gri gri to go back up. 1. Doesn't auto feed 2. no backup devices

Its all very situational. I always play it by ear. If im comfortable and can reach over i will have my PAS clipped into the first bolt so im only leaning over off belay for a few seconds but even then i would be incredible confident i could do it safely. If theres any doubt i always just go in on a tree and do it. Always always always mind the edge.

Hey gene! Great to see you found my channel we have spoken on instagram before! The anchor was defintly just for demonstartion id make it way more bomb proof and if it a mulitpich having a mulitdirectionally is imperative in the case of a Fa 2 fall. I also alway usually will tye a new backup knot before siwtching over to a new one. My reasoning for using a traction is because it will catch faster and wont use the whole cache loop in the case the gri gri doesnt immedietly catch. Thansk!

@@climbingforlife1 Hi! i guessed so. but beleive me, if you have at least 2 backup knots, you allways have one in case of something goes wrong (redundancy, as you know, is smtg vital!!! ;-) ). on the other side, i use a gridlock like biner to tye those backup knot, as one day, a normal locking biner felt. for the grigri, the maillon is a nice idea but complicated to take in and off. i use a grivel clepsydra instead, and i've tied a 2mm cordelette to the grigri so that i can lose it. i'll make a vid of it to show you! cheers from catalonia! 😃🙃

Damn! Super random inujury! Glad hes okay!

Ask around he is out there he was from Maine

second person to ask me that lol

if i ever by the helltones

What im sayinggggg

Lmk if you need a partner! Freeing it is def on my bucket list. Ive flashed the first pitch and have been as high as above the roof but havent tried freeing anything else on the route yet.

@@climbingforlife1 Bruh, I'm talmbout aiding it ;) The hardest I've been able to climb is like 5.11b/c (this was 25+ years ago lmfao) So yeah... whew. ;) Keep on rocking! I hope you had a great Valley trip! Looked amazing!

Always needing partners! If you have good aid and wall skills we are looking for a third for an attmept on the shield in may!

LMAO PREACH

A warm corndog!

Exactly my friend.

in a bag. then in a tube way below all of your other stuff

Or like us in a bag under the haulbags that you can always smell hahaha

@@fintman51 they launch it to valley and use baby wipes to clean up

This is super true.

We are so epic.

You look down 😂

You try really hard to get it out in the morning or at night because trying to pee or poop without the portaledge is wayyyy harder.

Wag bags which then go in a "poop tube" which is carried with you to the top then properly disposed of.

@climbingforlife1 how do u properly dispose of it at the top?

@ carry it down with you and put it in a trash can

@@climbingforlife1 so how do you wipe and wash your hands after the wag ? 😜 I think they just launch it and use baby wipes. Who's gonna carry 💩

vibing

Facts 😂😂

😂 bro I saw that from afar and leaned back expecting it to pop and squirt me in the eyeball 👁️

I thought it was a lip ring 😮

He kills that thing but you should hear him on the steel guitar!

I almost never take swords climbing with me. That would be very dangerous. 👍
