I gotta say the first minute & 1/2 listened to without thinking about it in terms of climbing is ridiculously funny. Climbing definitely has its own language.
I've been repelling for a long time, and was around a lot of climbing gear since I was young, but never had any experiences with climbing, and only now am I learning the proper use for these climbing nuts. The cams were pretty easy to comprehend, but the passive holding of the nuts didn't make sense to me until now.
Idk if i would place a large cam thats not very cammed... i just took a 30 foot fall and lost a year (so far) of climbing when one of those popped on a fall...
I always look at the crack that's in front of me 😜an allways finger that crack too she loves it man this is too funny don't put ur nut into that that hurt
Bit late, but: "In 1974, Ray took his first set of rough-hewn prototypes to Yosemite and climbed dozens of difficult routes with them, including setting a new speed record on the Nose. One day Ray went climbing with a guy called Chris Walker. Chris was racking up and there were lots of other climbers milling about. In order not to draw attention, Chris said to Ray: "Have you got the, er...Friends?" The name stuck. "

One of the best instructors on youtube. Very logical and great visual explanations.
God! Getting a good stopper in a crack or divot is so.. satisfying!
My friend is usually the guy behind me hoping my cam is good
that first tip is really important. constantly see people placing gear up high and blocking their hands from moving up after clipping it..
Great video lads

Going to the UK this summer. Where is this crag?
Welcome to crack school everybody ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks friend
Anyone else think that last placement looked a bit sketchy?
It's not
Cams are neet, they remind me of something BatMan would carry on his utility belt!
Me and my wife need to grow yp we couldn't stop laughing at all the innuendos
I couldn't stop gigling
Can anybody tell me what music is used?
Yes
Holy shit where is this crack? Looks great for learning. Bottlenecks all over the place!
Kinda late, but if you figure out where it is please let me know!
@@MastaBlasta242 I think the question has shifted to is that crack even still there.
Once I had a big friend in a small crack did not end well
“Often the temptation is to fire them into the crack.” Word. Love all the ladies who love the fire in the crack
FBI: So you're the master of crack huh? Have a seat right over there.
rad
Aloha
@4:35 Too many sexual innuendos to handle at once
I used to wear that necklace at age 8
im not mature enough to watch this

nope
Am I the only one that thinks it's really funny how he calls them "friends" and not "cams?"
Sponsored by wild country, so it's product placement, no pun intended ;) he does switch between cam and friend as well

In Brazil we call them Friends more often..
In Catalonia or Spain we call it Friends as well :)
So... Ray used to sell them out of his van for 10 bucks. My friend Tom looked at them and said I will never spend that much on gear.
Calling them "friends" is confusing as hell.
Don't recommend climbing in the UK, then.
