    So accurate! They talk about being tired, pumped, scared and even saying, "Oh no! I have to climb that part all over again now!" after taking a fall on a section. I love the realness, I feel like a lot of climbers don't make this stuff apparent, or at least the editors of the films cut most of it out

      remember you can always try climbing in a gym. Bouldering (climbing without a rope above the matress, 2-3 meters in height) is ideal for people with fear of heights.

  • @gregparrott

    It's good to see they are mostly wearing helmets (not at 9:34). While on a MUCH easier, vertical climb, a friend fell (no helmet). I had him on belay and the fall was smooth. He fell from several feet to the side of the anchor, so he swung sideways. His first foot placement while moving pushed him a couple feet from the wall and spun him 180 degrees. His butt caught part of the wall but he was fine. He had NO IDEA that the back of his head came within an inch of being bashed. I say ALWAYS wear a helmet!

    • @domesticterrorist483

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@domesticterrorist483 Yep, and another person climbed a different section of the same rock band without wearing a helmet. After finishing and returning to the bottom, a small rock fell, and fractured his skull. He too had a plate installed and permanently lost some of his motor and speech skills. While a helmet would be of little use for larger rocks, it would work wonders for smaller ones. I got hit in the hand by a rock a bit smaller than a ping pong ball. I could not use my hand for days. Based on the damage it did, a head hit could do more than 'just' a skull fracture. Given we were hours away from any medical access and cell service, a head hit from even a small rock could be fatal.

    History lesson: Dihedral Wall was not put up by Tommy Caldwell. However, Caldwell was first free climb it. But, bolts were placed adjacent to very good natural gear placements; albeit, awkward for a free climber, but kills the aid climbing adventure to a great extent, IMO. YMMV.

    When they mention previous routes put up by certain climbers, such as Tommy Caldwell, do they mean that bolts/hooks are in place in between the long pitches? Or are many of them in place between these pitches? Please excuse my lack of climbing vocab/knowledge. I'm very curious about how all of this works. This is so damn inspiring..thanks to everyone who shares their time and experience!

      This was the second FREE ascent. Unfortunately, the video does not provide much historical context, so perhaps the following the history of the route will clarify situation.
      The first ascent was in 1962 by Glen Denny, Jim Baldwin and Ed Cooper. They spent 38 days over several months on the wall and placed lots of bolts; it is rated 5.7 A4. The first continuous ascent was in 1965 by Royal Robbins and Tom Frost, who took 5 days. Cooper claimed his party placed some 80 bolts; Robbins, in his American Alpine Club report on his ascent says he and Frost removed 13 bolts and used 87, so he concludes Cooper must have placed at least 100. Cooper removed the nuts and hanger from many of the bolts which caused Robbins and Frost some problems. Subsequently, many bolts have been removed or replaced. Stainless steel or titanium bolts and hangers still in place can of course be used by any party climbing the route at their discretion.
      Royal Robbins report in the American Alpine Club Journal is available on the internet
