Awesome vid! Wish Alex to show her very best this season. She made really big puch last year. It was nice to see such a great climber become even more technically and mentally strong. It will be exciting duel between Jule and Alex, can't wait!
If you're going to highball you might as well use a rope, alot easier to carry than like 5 crash pads. Also you're not going to deck on a pad from 20-30 feet and get away scott free. Why risk the huge setback of a serious injury that can cripple your climbing ability for a year or more
+tripmind Not true. The difference between a highball ascent and a top rope one is HUGE. The mental aspect of going without a rope adds a lot to a climb and makes it a much more respected "style" than a top rope ascent. People can definitely walk away from a 20 foot fall if properly padded and spotted. Everyone has their own level of acceptable risk. Hers is higher than yours. Your is likely higher than others'. Criticizing someone for the level of risk they accept in their climbing is a little blind and ignorant when your own level of risk would be criticized by the majority of the non climbing population.
Marcelo F but the non-climbing population also believes that modern helicopters are dangerous and just magically have engine failures in mid flight climbing outdoors, especially in northern states is subject to alot of changing environmental conditions that can be unpredictable by the day. Sometimes the rock may be wet or eroded and you won't know that until your far off the ground. If you're putting your life in danger, then you're taking unnecessary risk. I know that seasoned climbers do frequently take falls from 20 feet and higher, Pamela pack was known for this. We have this thing called redpointing which is an new more sane way to climb, and people are still crushing mad shit on a rope.
Great footage, that also brings across awesome emotions. Really nice clip!
