    Such a pity you actually did the 5.9 crack 1st pitch (which I also did but no youtubers seem to ever do) but failed to show it in the vid! That is such a great crack and way harder than the rest of the climb. I climbed it in 1991 and although the gopro fisheye lens cameras make anything up close hard to recognize, I still recognized the high "roof" (which isn't a roof but is actually just about the only spot on the entire wall that's vertical...It's what everyone calls the crux even though the 1st 5.9 finger crack pitch is harder), which you spent a lot of time farting around on when you realized you had to commit without having a nice piece of pro right in front of your nose! But then you stepped up and realized it wasn't that hard, just exposed and scary. Brings back nice memories. You also show at 57 seconds a good shot of that 1st little wave, the tiny overhang that I remember very well gave a real feeling of exposure pulling myself up onto. Thanks for doing this!

    You place any nuts? The crack looks to have enough irregularities for it

      No I didn’t bring any, hardly ever do.

    Sounds like you have a rack of pins.
