50 years ago I climbed The Cave Route while going through Outward Bound. I'm wondering when it gets a little warmer, if you're willing to lead a 66 year old guy up it. And a few other easy routes, as to not waste the whole day on one route. I spent my life climbing trees and stayed tough. After a back surgery I dare not lead anything with a long runout. Consider me a charity case 😂 make an old Man Happy 😁
That’s sick! I’d love to. Can you send me an email at bbnhartness@gmail.com? We can exchange phone numbers. The gate to Table Rock opens back up April 1st
On this pitch I place it where I feel like I need it (which obviously isn’t a lot). But i’ve also climbed this route 20+ times so I pretty much have all the moves dialed.
@@climbingbrosNC I totally get that! I've climbed and simul-climbed The Daddy several times. Still, there's always a chance of loose, wet, or rotten rock. I'm not trying to tell you how to climb. I know that trad climbing in particular is a deeply personal practice (or at least it is to me). I also know how far out in the wilderness the amphitheater is and that a slip that turned into a fall could make for a very long rescue.
@@sdoowramaj I totally agree. If it was wet I would’ve definitely placed more pro. I also think that the route gets climbed so much there’s little chance of loose rock etc, but definitely still a possibility. Indeed a rescue would not be easy down there!
Don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching.
Why is this so satisfying to watch?
Shite Dude, that was way too much runout before getting your first piece in. YIKES 😳 GREAT CHANNEL
Thank you, hope you keep enjoying the content!
Your the dude! Looks so fun
Thanks! We’ll get out there soon
How many millimeters thick. Are you guys in N.C.????
9.5mm. Yes we are
What length rope are you using???
This one was a 80m. It’s way easier to link pitches on The Mummy and The Prow with it

Don't skip the bolts!😂
Can’t forget about them invisible bolts
It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you placed more gear...
