    This episode is about big and famous climbing area Smith Rock in Oregon, USA, and its small and almost unknown project that I set my focus on the very last day of our trip in autumn 2018. Check the episode to see how it went.

      Probably, they rappel down from the top, clipping in the draws on the way down. If that's not an option, you can clip the draws while checking out the moves in the beginning.

    The performance should not be the goal, on the contrary, it is a dead end voice, which leads only to its ego. Watch how judo, a defense-based discipline, turns into a sport. It is not Judo, and the "do" the way which transcends a sport in discipline disappears. This is how we pervert things. Climbing aimlessly other than succeeding is a waste of time.
    La performance ne doit pas etre le but, au contraire, c'est une voix sans issue, qui ne mène qu'à son ego. Regardez comment le judo, une discipline basé sur la défense, qui se transforme en sport. Ce n'est plus du Judo, et le "do" la voie qui transcende un sport en discipline disparaît. Voilà comment on pervertit les choses. La grimpe sans but autre que de réussir est une perte de temps.

    I really like your commentary on the climbing. Yet is does most of the time spoil/reveal the outcome of the climb before it finishes and thereby making a bit less exciting. For example you already reveal that you are going to fall off before you actually do, or you sound dissapointed so I know you are not gonna make it that try. Anyone else have that?

  • @IconProduction01
    @IconProduction01 Před 3 lety

    What I don't get is why these guys talk like there's only one set in stone move list to be followed for each individual project.. Like if a person bolts a new route and is the first to send it, then when people ask him/her about it they tell them move by move what they did and it sounds like everyone thinks they have to then exactly copy that move list from the guy who sent it before them. That's all well and good to learn about a set of moves that ended up working out for the last guy, but just because someone did a left handed crimp on the 4th move or something it doesn't mean that you still couldn't approach each different zone of the route in your own way. At the end of the day I'd think you'd want to just study the route but then make your own personal edits and even bypass certain moves if possible, like if you were strong enough to dino straight up by 2'-3' and the guy before you couldn't do that maybe you could skip 2 entire moves that the guy before you did by creating your own shortcut of sorts. So with so many possibilities in front of each climber it just surprises me to hear someone this skilled talking about exactly mimicking previously created move lists move for move like he's got no other choice but to complete the route exactly how someone else told him he should do it... Why couldn't you just approach each climb like a fresh palate and create your own move list and your own slightly different path through the climb based on your style and preferences?
