    Love the thoughtful style, Tom. Feel like I'm learning while getting a main-line of psyche!

      Ahh thanks Jake. Psyched you liked it mate. It was fun putting it together :)

    You've definitely got it Tom looks super close. Cant wait for some strong foriegn climber to come and try it as well that would be cool. After you have done it of course.

      I'm hoping it'll happen sooner or later. Just need to keep on track and not get too ahead of myself. Thanks for the support :). I'd love to see what others think

    Nice editing, I like the compounded style of getting rope sit chats whilst watching the climbing

      Cool, psyched you liked it. It was fiddly to put together, but I like it :)

    Love the self-talk! Reminds me of a short scene in Dosage 5 when Obe Carrion tells himself "Come on, Obe!" after falling. Don't know why that scene sticks out in my head so much lol

    Looking forward to more of this journey! Fighting with lack of form and not even wanting to get on my project. The patient self talk is something I should learn from (but I'm quickly getting older, time is becoming a thing..)

    • @TomOHalloranAus
      @TomOHalloranAus  ปีที่แล้ว

      Looking forward to more days too 😀. Hope you can find your mojo again. Sometimes a short amount of time (2 weeks maybe) is enough to rekindle the fire. Feels counterintuitive when you feel the time pressures, but it works. Or just changing up what a day of climbing looks like, just for a little while. Good luck on the journey 💪✌️

    Is your belayer actually using the Grigri properly? In some shots it looks like he’s wrapping his whole hand around the device with not even a single finger on the rope. I’m actually surprised we didn’t see you die at 8:27. It looks like somehow your belayer had the reflexes to switch from the death grip to gripping the rope in a split second.

    • @TomOHalloranAus
      @TomOHalloranAus  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it's all good. It's hard to see, but he's holding it in one of the ways petzl says you can. Good to keep your eyes pealed for safety though. nice one

      Also you’re clipping off of holds I could barely use as Intermediates you’re a beast

    • @TomOHalloranAus
      @TomOHalloranAus  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m hoping so too. Haha yeah there’s some small holds. The second clip took 3 months to work out. Mostly because I was scared of clipping off such a bad hold in a tenuous position with an arm full of slack that close to the ground. I didn’t fall once and very nearly decked haha

      9a+ would make it the hardest route in the country

    • @TomOHalloranAus
      @TomOHalloranAus  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Haha me too. I don't understand it at all. It gets super difficult when you're in the top end of your personal abilities (physically and mentally) and even harder when there is nothing to compare it to within 5000km haha. All I know is it's fun :)

      Could be 9b? 9b+? But harder than 9a+
