Not that I've climbed this route but I am assuming your commentary at 5:26 regarding the chalk on the wall, I don't think people are slapping the wall maybe they are doing a layback and their chalk bag is rubbing against the rock?
Nice! What's the angle of the wall on the fox? I've seen some videos from the bottom that show ut looking pretty slabby all the way through, but some angles in your video make it look overhanging.
Through the business it's something like 5-10 degrees. You can find positional rests but you can't take a real breather until you squish yourself into the offwidth
What is up with that anchor lol like why... all that solid slab and they put bolts on the back of a boulder with one quick link as a master point? nice climb tho
@@user-ky4jp8jf2p It's a loooooong story of bolt chopping. It seems like the exit slab is pretty darn soft so the previous two or three anchors started leaving rope grooves on the route. It looks like the new one behind the boulder directs the rope over a random chockstone. Theres also a ground-up only ethic in the area for moderate Trad so they don't want to encourage top roping this thing
what a cool trad dad
Insane.

Oh you're probably right! I can't imagine how hard laybacking that sequence would be though holy hell
