I"m not lying, I was just gonna google how do climbers crap while climbing big walls and spending days on the wall!! and then Eli and Nate go ahead and make a video about it!!! LMAO
Great video. The scenery is beautiful, of course, but what makes this video sfand out is the fact that you opened yourself up and allowed us to get a glimpse into your mindset and how you dealt with the challenges faced on the wall.
He who climbs and knows when to walk away “up bail” lives to climb another day. Perhaps this was your lesson to the up and coming climbers. I enjoyed this video, despite your trepidation. Thanks for sharing.
You made the right decision and you got some great experience for the next time. It would seem that any doubt taken with you to El Cap would be detrimental to the climb and the experience.
Fantastic video. Although I watched it while eating breakfast and drinking coffee so I could've done without the part: watching another man poop. I will never be able to un see that...lol
Hahaha! People do actually still poop on big walls. And that’s the #3 question I get asked. 1- do you actually sleep up there? 2- is it scary? 3- how do you use the toilet? IMHO I’m glad that was left in. Kinda awquard that he just kept the camera on him a bit past the point of it being awkward few seconds. But a part of the wall none the less. The worst part is when it hits mid-day! Lmfao. Nobody ever talks about the training required to do one’s business in the morning only. All though I suppose evening would work in a pinch. (; Either-way... it’s nice to have a ledge to squat on vs. the always fun over the portaledge while your partner counter-balances the thing or the worse.... hanging belay squat (worse when you just got done leading). You remembered your wag-bag, right? No fun to Jug up to a fresh steamer. Or the ultimate in hapinstances.... leader yells “ Watch me... Watch ME! TAKE!” Belayer replies “Hang-on! Lemme wipe” LMFAO. Sorry... I know! Too much. (; Thanks, great footage. It’s nice to see someone sincerely digging deep to determine the whys of the bail instead of just justifying it to everyone. Oh... and the “upward bail” fantastic!
just had breakfast as well while watching this!:) but tbh i like to portray myself up there at times and mundane stuff like that helps me a lot doing that!;))
Doesnt really seem like a fail at all. They learned more about their climbing abilities, strengths and weaknesses....and they stayed safe.
Another great video from Nate Murphy... authentic and real and honest. Keep up the great work Nate!
Thanks!

Summed up the "why am I just not doing this" feelings pretty well 👍

13:29 He rocks that mullet though
Great video. A great lesson learnt. Also, don't stress when you feel like you haven't achieved your goal.
4:49 I shit my pants before I realised it was a bird that was falling!

This was fantastic. I would love to see more relateable content like this in the future. Too many climbers featured in videos have become caricatures.
Rocking the Santa Fe climbing shirt!!!! Love it!!!
Man U still made it I don’t care u went from the bottom to the top more then 99% of the population can do so 👍👍👍👍
Dear me..
Please keep on climbing and work hard to one day climb el cap.

At 1:10 it looks like he's back-clipped??
Back-clipping on a traversing section is less of an issue as the rope is not going to come down atop the carabiner possibly opening the gate.
Where ya' be these days, Natey?

Message out to Ely from Chase Caz! Cool video you guys. Please come visit and climb in costa rica whenever you want... yes, climbing in Costa Rica!
I’m headed there for this whole summer and I’m looking to climb! Any recommendations? I’m still a new climber, tap out on 10+ outdoor.
Awesome work guys!!! It looked pretty savage haha
Chris Hailey thanks Chris! Some hard climbing up there!
Song at 10:04 please ?
That is a lux mullet
What I want to know is what was Eli doing in Lowman? On his way to the Perch?
Brian Harder Agreed. And I can't say I've noticed an overwhelming number of mullets in Lowman recently. I'll have to be on the lookout next time.
Great job))))
You got skills.
Song at 10:50 ?

I always wonder what climbers do when they realize half way up that they can´t climb that one pitch cause its to hard for them.
Look for an easier route up or go back down the way you came ;-)

Why no one black climber ?
Could have done without the annoying background music. Can't watch this.
''Not sure I approve '' of the wildfires? Heard of global warming? You got to Yosemite mainly by jet?!
