    Actually what I like about a lot of climbing videos is to see people struggle only because they're pushing their limits. It's most rewarding to watch them overcome the climb they were battling. Great work, and really liked seeing sport climbing seeing as I mainly sport climb. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome respect for Joe on this than almost any of the other videos honestly. Lead IS scary and it’s something I definitely find hard. What I would say though Joe is that your clipping is f’ing superb man! It’s so quick and clean and I know part of that will be down to wanting to get it clipped ASAP to feel (relatively) safe again but even so, top notch buddy 🤜👍

    I have been bouldering for the past three years and just recently really started top roping and lead climbing. I’m afraid of heights but the more you do it the better it gets. Finishing a lead or top rope gives you a much different feeling of joy than bouldering does. This video was great!

  • @therooster83
    @therooster83 Před 4 lety +2

    As much as I do enjoy watching Joe rage, I was also rooting for him to send on lead. I find that if I don't climb regularly, that fear of heights comes back and takes a few goes to get used to the height again.

      Argem Sabuga As someone who’s having the same problems, the best piece of advice I can give is to find a belayer you ABSOLUTELY trust and only ever do lead with them. I’m still only managing 5c+ at best but I can barely manage a 5a if I’m being belayed by someone I have even the slightest doubts about

  • @TheUnknownFactor
    @TheUnknownFactor Před 4 lety +1

    The actual best way to get over your fear of lead is to take some falls. Not intentional falls, those are terrifying. Unintentional, unanticipated falls where suddenly you're just hanging and everything is actually completely fine.

    @nickfoulds8673 Před 4 lety

    Joe, that was like watching myself leading in a mirror! I am happy to highball most big boulders no problem as I'm sure you are but put a rope and harness on me and all my strength counts for nothing as I over grip and crap my pants 2 inches above the last bolt! The moment you quit on the 7C+ and basically sat straight back into your harness with no drop reminds me of countless moments like that I have myself had on lead. The single cure for it in my experience is just being on the sharp end more. The comfort comes with heaps of time spent in that position and I think the most useful thing to help me get any closer to "fine" while in that situation was being super cautious of not over gripping.
    I've heard a couple good mates suggest both "the rock warriors way" and "fear" they are both supposed to be ace for helping you get your head around that stuff if you want to that is! We all know Bouldering is best ;)
    Good luck with it mate, I'd love to hook up for a climb with you guys back in the UK on one of my holidays or if you lot want to put up some new first ascents come down under, I can host you in Brisbane and we can go check out the granite belt region. First ascents and ace technical established routes abound!
    Keep up the hard graft bobat's been ace watching you all progress both climbing and video editing wise!
    P.S time for another hot sauce challenge? or maybe like I once did down a mountain snowboarding try climbing some stuff with Tiger balm smeared on your face just under your eyes (It's bare jokes honest....)

    You guys are awesome! Joe, you should do some practice falls to build up confidence, shake out your arms during the climb, find good rests to shake out and chalk up, and try to clip with the quickdraw between shoulder and waist height if possible, you'll save a lot of strength. And you'll be flashing those 7C+'s in no time

    • @largeformatlandscape
      @largeformatlandscape Před 4 lety

      I'm not so sure. As you're covered by the last clip anyway you have backup. I think the double is meant for if you're top roping. The double clip makes sense on a sport climb as well as you might be cleaning on the way down

    • @erinschuld1686
      @erinschuld1686 Před 4 lety

      A lot of gyms will have to help teach climbers about sport climbing and how to properly set up a top rope and such. My gym actually requires us to clip both and to check if they are opposite and opposed before lowering! Just a way to constantly practice skills. You are protected by the gear below you so it isn’t such a big deal if the gear were to fail, inside or out!

    I'm a noob so I may be wrong, but is it bad practice to clip as high as they are? eg, 6:41. I think because it means you've added twice as much slack as you would have if you'd climbed until you were about level with the carabiner

      Tim Parkin that’s actually not true. We tested this recently by having someone climb both on lead and a toprope. He clipped the 2nd draw and then went to clip the 3rd draw as early as he could but before actually clipping I took him on he toprope and he lead belayer held the exactly where it was before having taken any of he slack out as though he’d fallen. I then lowered the climber and turned out that even being lowered slowly so no rope stretch, his feet touched the ground. We then did the same thing but he him go for the clip with the draw at around chest height. When we lowered him down his feet were at leat 3 to 4 feet away from the floor

    Tom, your're ascending using a great system, except you're missing a vital piece. Clip a biner in the bottom of your jug (jumar) and run the brake rope from your grigri through it. That way when you;re stepping up in your etrier you're pulling down on the rope. Much easier and effective.

    7b for non lead climber is pretty impressive👍

  • @williamlivingstone4326

    Yeah about that... How do you think these long routes are going to affect your bouldering skills?

    The grading seems so weird to what I am used to by my gym. The 7a looks like a 5c maybe, the 7c like a 6c maximum. The 7b is nowhere near a 7.

    Top lads for getting out of your comfort zone. How about a bit of trad next time.

    You just have to take a planned fall at the start of every session! It gets less scary.

    How long are these routes? The wall seems pretty short

      I'd guess it's a 50ft wall or so

      elfriederich I think Jon said it was 8 metres so yeah, fairly short but about average for indoor, non-roof stuff I think
