Why did Jeff Jackson place the first bolt so high on this? Looks like there are places you could potentially get a poor gear placement, but if they bolted the top portion why not bolt the exposed moves down below?
You should get a two locker QD for climbs like that. As you know the single locker can get torqued/crossloaded wrong on a big fall. Climb smarter for longer.
Grahm awesome job thank you for complementing me on black scratch I appreciate it a lot what climbs are good for leading and are in the 5.9 or 5.10 categories and what are your favorite boulders that are good and nice at quartz
For sure, that was amazing! And you didn’t have to dyno like I’ve seen a lot of people do. I think Gum Shoe is an amazing boulder that doesn’t get enough attention. And for routes, I think Romper Room would be a great one to lead!
Nice climb, no wonder that route is rated x!
I think I soiled my undergarment a little watching you do LSAT . . .
that first clip is SOOO high no thanks lol

Because they had a bad ass ethic that was strongly followed by all first ascensionists
Bold man
Damn that might honestly be safer with out a rope… less to get in the way
Awesome work man! Great climb
Thank you! The crux is super desperate, I was glad to have the rope 😅

Agreed, locking quickdraw is far safer than single locking biner. Eldrid makes a nose locker that works great for such applications.

ALTHOUGH I just realized I’ve only ever followed Romper Room, so climb it at your own risk. Seems like a good one though!
Thanks Grahm for the advice we have climbed Romper but never have lead it.Thank you
Why does slab climbing look vertical on film, but vertical and overhanging stuff like slab? Nice climb though
I wish I knew but I can’t complained since I do a lot of slab!
Before the bolt is the hardest part off the ground?
Yep! Little moderate boulder problem then it angles off pretty well.
@@grahmtheoverstoker thanks looks similar to some routes in SoCal. Looks fun.
