Looks like you exited on Limelight. If you stick left definitely gives it the 5.8+ finish. Left of that last piece

Tried it today but I struggled at the crux this is a much better beta than what I was trying. I went right hand to that mono not left then up to amino arête

Thanks for the video! Love checking these out before climbing it. Did you do all three pitches (per mountain project) in one go?

Nicely done. I’ve guided that route over 200 times and it was always just so fun! (And there’s a hidden hold that makes getting past the pine tree at the top sssooooo much easier, but you toughed it out.) Well done!

Hi, really enjoyed your video. Nicely filmed and what seems like a fantastic route.

The SpongeBob photo lowering sent me lmao

How was the drag with 2 ropes? It wasn't bad with just one

Did you lose a red BD cam at the 6:25 mark in this video? If you did I clipped it as fixed gear today.

Here for the trad content🔥come to the gunks and let’s crush

Went on this today and onsighted it really cool climb. I didn’t know where was the last jug to the right of the anchor so clipped it from the final crimps on the left

I love the videos! But why not double up some pieces given the nerves and maybe less-than-ideal placements?

Trad Climb with Me THIRTY MINUTES HEAVY BREATHING ASMR Shawangunk Mountains

Good 'ol V4 boulder problem to start off a 5.10a warmup.

Always love the Gunks content

my trad climbing hero

Looks soft

feels like every time I return to the Gunks I need to relearn how to rock climb all over again. Billed by my sadistic partner as a good warm-up, Criss Cross Direct 5.10a cheerfully BODIED me with its intense boulder opening and tough-to-read exit. Barely keeping those Dunkin' donuts from coming back up, your humble narrator, ever strugglebussing, shambles his way to the top.

Thank you for sharing. Lovely video :)

Just found your channel, loving it so much! Really enjoying the quality, music, and vibes, thanks for sharing. Might see you at the crag someday, seems like we hit all the same spots.

Dude, you need to place way more and better gear. I know it's only 5.4, but there were a lot of places where if you or your partner had fallen, there's a good chance you'd have been carried out on a stretcher. You skipped a lot of good placements and ran it out for no reason. When I was learning trad, a mentor told me to always keep two good pieces of gear between you and the hospital. You also should generally place twice as much gear on a traverse as you would on a face climb, to protect yourself and your second from a bad pendulum fall. A guide told me about a bad accident at Seneca where the leader ran out a traverse, didn't place nearly enough gear, and their second fell and pendulum'd into an arete with the force of a 30 ft ground fall. You're clearly a strong climber, so you're getting away with it. But that might not be the case if you end up on some sandbagged route with tricky gear - of which there are plenty at Seneca and the Gunks 😝. Stay safe and climb on!

Good job man

Yes!! 👊

much like the face crimp-fest czcams.com/video/qf5jlrIhm_g/video.html in Farley, MA, for many sessions I literally couldn't pull the moves to the first bolt. And similar to Nagasaki just one day inspiration struck and I found the stellar sequence that opens up this stunner of a climb. my trad climbing head-game is so hilariously weak that the moment I rely on my own pieces I melt like cotton candy in bikini bottom. One day I'll get there...

Your flashes are still less sloppy than my normal sends lol

Dude, you killed that! Nice work!

Small correction (12:10) - at the apex, or dead point, there is acceleration. What goes to zero momentarily is velocity. If there were zero acceleration ('zero G'), you would hang out there indefinitely, like those astronauts ;) and dead-pointing would be much easier!

Nice video. 7 years ago I tried that climb and on my first go I reached the third crown and had that high heel/knee bar. I pulled so hard on the right hand while rocking up that I broke the connection between a rib and my sternum. And the anchor was right there! I had to be helped to the parking lot and driven to a hospital. I never dared to try it again.

15:09 man I taught you this move

Man

The crux for me would be picking which biner I wanted to leave on the wall after getting to that slab section.

great weekend!

You made it back out to Farley! Nice

Been touching some harder routes but not wanting to go home empty-handed yours truly saddled up for a first-try send of this bouldery classic. Surmounting three tiers of roofy mantles, Triple Crown 5.12a tucked away at the burgeoning Crag X in Farley Ledges is a physical wrestling match both going up and coming down. I watched a vague Instagram reel beforehand but the beta was so unsuitable it honestly made everything harder having to solve the line on the fly WITH the added poisoned knowledge. Logging this as a flash but spiritually I'm calling it an onsight grr.

That was indeed baller

lol thanks for the shoutout! D&Q will need one more session (hopefully!) Awesome first-try-redpoint on Pet the Rabbit! You make it look way easier than it is. Great to meet you and chat, Max :D

Hot on the heels of a weak previous episode I know I know. Angela and I strike off on a random one-day blitz of the Squirrel Wall/Acorn Face crag in Hanging Mountain, MA. Do we pull off the Squirrel Wall in a Day (SWIAD) challenge? Or do we get stuffed before we even get to the crag? Only one way to find out.

because it's been so long since a vlog and in the spirit of my very first boulder vlog that just so happened to also occur at the Powerlinez, NY we're speedrunning this production with no colour or sound correction or much good content HAHA but it's time to get back into the groove of things y'alll thanks for staying subscribed through my good and bad, I promise better drops soon

You can hear them logging trucks

First

This was so entertaining dude thanks for this

The amount of editing (and I’m assuming time) you put into this is is astounding. Very well done and very creative :)

Super cool video. Ever since I drove past it on vacation one time I’ve always wanted to climb it. Awesome

Very impressive!! New to climbing and want to get into outdoor climbing would love to join you guys once it warms up! Im not far from Chatfield hollow!

Thank you for sharing. Why do extend every piece?

Blasted through both pitches in no time! 🙌

Wow everything got upgraded with better gear and equipment, what's up?

Well done! Brings back great memories. I remember climbing this rout in the late 90's. I remember that first huge hold at the beginning (15s in) then things change...but yeah, a Rumney classic for sure!
