- Peter Foster and I hiked out to the Whitney/Russell zone on August 1st with food and stoke for 6 days. On our first day, we linked up Western Front, Bloody Corner, Mithril Dihedral, and Star Trekkin'. We brought extra gear and fixed anchors down Star Trekkin' to rap. For those interested, The corner pitch on Bloody Corner was our favorite pitch on Russell.
Whitney and russel...outrageous rock,weather...and quiet,quiet quiet...beautiful...
Oh, to be 40 years younger!
Man. Whenever you post I get so happy. I know I just have some relaxing quality content to enjoy. It's always calming and just a trip.
Do you leave the sling and carabiners at the top when you repel off the trad anchor ? How do you clean it ?
Leave slings as needed but usually not biners unless it's an emergency. Typical to use steel or aluminum rings that the rope has to be threaded through. These are cheaper than biners but actually stronger.
watching from the east coast, setting out here is unreal.. every video it looks like you’re recording on the surface of the moon.
I like peter's attitude when the core was exposed like that lol! Some guys just don't get phased.
Hey, could you do a video one day talking about how you started climbing, tips for starters..., etc?
No talking please. I like just climbing.
Probably not. Those sorts of videos aren't really my style and I'm not trying to put too much effort into this TH-cam thing... It's already weird enough.
@@tylerkarow response of the fucking century 😂
There are a lot of beginner oriented videos already quick search will bring up hundreds I'm sure.
This is what I did. Start by casual hiking. Move onto casual mountain hiking. Move onto casual mountain scrambling. Move onto hard mountain scrambling. Then move onto one-two guided beginners climb routes. You will pick up the knowledge much faster because you’ll already know the environment well. It’s really not that hard, took me about 2 years.
Did Foster place any gear on P1?? His confidence is crazy.
Yeah, and the core-shot rope with just a little tape was alright for him. The guy seems a bit too reckless that I would want to go on a multi-pitch with him, but gladly I'm not even asked.
@@M0dElite well.. no. U seem to lack of experience, in other words..I would not like to go with you on a climbing Tour. Just shut up… greenhorn
@@kreterakete That was well argumented! Thanks for your valuable feedback. Now I've learned from my past mistakes and can move on with confidence. Have a nice day
Peter just runs it out on all the pitches. I was trying to see how many pieces were on Tyler's harness when he followed the pitches Peter led... Looking at the shadow from Tyler's harness at 4:28 it doesn't look like much gear!
Thank you for not adding music.
NICE ,fast , at altitude too
No fishhook arete? Even though I can see you are way better than 5.8, still a classic climb for sure.
Nice!
Sick
Hey Tyler, what's your approach on swapping belays so fast? Seems like you guys hardly stop. I'm trying to get faster so I can keep moving and get more climbing in.
Keep trekkin!
I think he just cuts the video. However it’s pretty fast and easy if you belay with a Munter Hitch from a fixed point. If you belay with a tube style belay device from a fixed point it’s also pretty straightforward to change from follower mode to lead mode. The most time consuming part is handing over protection gear. I think some people put it on a sling around their neck so they can hand it over more quickly.
Oh the whole channel is gopros
don't know why they carry so much gear if they don't even place it 🤣
do you ever fall?
Neither Peter or myself like to climb routes well above our ability levels becasue we would rather just onsight stuff and get in more milage climbing, but of course we do fall occasionally when trying harder routes.
Did you need permit for this area? What trailhead?
Yup. Whitney Portal
