  • The new video is pure climbing content, along with some of my insights and comments. If you are a climbing fanatic, go and have a look! Since I was a little kid, I have always loved going into the crag I had never been and just trying to onsight everything the crag has to offer. Fortunately, around Arco, there are still a few crags that I have never been to.
    Castello di Drena was one of them.
    NOTE: The trick around time 01:00 can be potentially dangerous!
    Timecodes:

    00:12 - Climbing Crags around Arco
    00:20 - Ascent of Braboletta 8b (Castello di Drena)

      what the others said. Plus, there are strategies to get all your gear out even if there is only like one bolt and still get down safely and with the rope unharmed. BUT, you should NOT learn them from videos, but from an actual climbing trainer. Have fun leading friend!

    • @zacharylaschober
      @zacharylaschober Před 2 lety +3

      Looked as though several were permanently equipped which makes coming down and removing draws which were placed easy. Often the first few bolts will be left open because they receive a lot of wear and tear and allow an easier time stick clipping the first bolt or two

    • @adamborg1
      @adamborg1 Před 2 lety +13

      I think everyone has their own preference. But some notable onsight-cllimbers are: Said Belhaj, for whom it has been a big part of his climbing, and philosophy, to say the least. Jakob Schubert is very accomplished in it but I don't know how much he likes it. Alex has said his proudest climb was an onsight, a 9a. And from what I've heard, Chris Sharma always goes for the onsight no matter how low the chances of success are.
      Onsighting is very good training for competitions so I think they all practice it, but that doesn't mean that good onsight climbers love onsighting.
      One thing Adam didn't mention is that there are so many good climbs out there and by projecting routes you will miss out on so many other fantastic climbs. That's one way to look at it :)

So where others would have been stuck projecting, he went on to other things.

      Not as hard and fast as “have seen someone on the route”. Most people will make their own distinction between had beta which helped them send the route first try, a flash, and did not have beta but still sent the route first try, an onsight. You know if someone’s beta got you the send, and you know if it didn’t.

If I intensely study you on a climb, I would lie if I said I onsighted, but if someone else did this and wanted to say… what do I care unless this is groundbreaking? I am not some climbing shoe brand sponsoring them, and there will always be someone for whom you fail the purity test. Want to say useless beta blows the onsight? Great, every climb you will ever get on has a jug at fourth bolt that you should heel toe cam for a rest. Blew every onsight for you, except you can make the distinction for useless beta.

    • @rickytrockclimbing2935
      @rickytrockclimbing2935 Před 2 lety +1

      Every shoe is different and does different things, sometimes we wear different shoes because of a specific heel hook or toe hook move, maybe a foot jam like Adam did in Silence, or other times it could be for injury reasons, if your foot is hurt, wear a softer/larger shoe, he is wearing the male solution on his left and the female solution on his right, the female version is slightly slimmer but softer soled, so maybe his right for hurts from stiff shoes, or the opposite, his left foot hurts and he’s using a more spacious mens shoe, who knows. But the relationship between climber and shoe is a deep and mysterious one, for the most part it’s trial and error and listening to your body to see what best works for you and then you work on fine tuning it.
