It’s sandstone right? You gonna mess up the rock with the nuts as anchor points, probably even dangerous for you cuz falling in them might result in them ripping out of the cracks.
On a coarse sandstone like this it’s better to use textile sling knots.
Look up czech trad climbing for some insight.
Otherwise a cool video and a very nice climb.
Cheers 🙏🏻🍀❤️

Nuts have safely been used at Red Rocks for 60 years. It's always good to know the area before you critique trad placements from your couch.
