I've been climbing for a year now and im obsessed with lead outside climbing. I've onsighted three 6a+ routes so far on the lead, and this shit always scares me this same. Mental game is like insanely important when lead climbing, and the fear control is my biggest enemy, since i can like toprope 6c on wall and do some 6b lead inside with ease. Good fucking effort bro, insane since it was ur first lead ever. Impressive af
Oh btw bro at 7:54 you should definetely use doubled quickdraws or mountain quickdraw (idk how u call those, im not native english speaker lol), since your quickdraw lays flat on the rock. With enough impact it can damage the gear and even cause it to malfunction.
Could definitely use some better prep before leading a climb outside. Cleaning anchors is one of the largest causes of accidents it would be better to have your friend do it or practice more on the ground. Also try to know where your bolts are before heading up. Almost on sighting a 6a+ on your first lead outing is pretty crazy and impressive.
It really is terryfing ;) I'M gonna stick to hiking for now

Safe to say I was definitely underprepared and is not something I would reccomend people doing. The nerves absolutly got to me
