Thanks for sharing this! I'm about to try to find my first outdoor single pitch, hopefully a 5.6 at Smith, and try to claw my way up it on lead. Anticipate a very humbling experience, being bamboozled by the holds and lots of heavy breathing and trying to not panic. POV videos like this are great!
Great job man! Just went out to the red for the first time this weekend, and fear/anxiety while leading is real. Glad I'm not the only one who's anxious up there!
Also, grading isn't even on the same scale. Indoors, it's like "there is one crimp on this route. 5.10c minimum." Outdoors? "You'll have to deal with a couple monos on this. 5.8"
Dude, practice your clipping before you lead. I know youre new to leading but when youre sitting in front of the tv have a draw and some rope and just practice until its automatic.
First you break your ankle on a 5.6 slab, then you climb another without a stick clip. Living la vida danger baby.
I can’t express how hard this made me laugh and take what I did into consideration.
This was one of my first outdoor leads and its so cool to watch this back and remember how it felt to climb it! Such a memorable experience!

How did you like it? We’re planning another trip for later this year.
@@MisterClimber I loved it, but leading still makes me so fuckin anxious lol.
When you guys heading that way?
im pretty good at climbing for a kid (I have done a 5.11b) though i'm not sure if I could do what you were doing!
Naw, you’d be out there crushing.
@@MisterClimber thanks!
@@MisterClimber good job completing the climb!
why is climbing outside so hard!
The holds aren’t color coded and they’re pokey.
@@MisterClimber excellent points

@@domenichughes7792 had a mono pocket on a 5.9 today on an outdoor climb and raged.
More mental outside because of the exposure. Lead head is real. You get used to it and don’t over grip as much.
