- A climb up Rattletale at Index, WA. This was my first 5.10 trad climb. I didn't get it clean, falling a couple times on the middle (crux) pitch (including the fall shown in the video). I was able to make it up the third pitch clean, so that was a trad PR for me. This is a really cool climb and just seeing pictures of it online inspired me to get after it. There is bomber pro available throughout the climb (careful not to get your #3s stuck on the second pitch) so if you want to test bringing your trad up to the 5.10 level, this may be a worthwhile option. Just don't run it out too much when you are pushing your limits. Go get it!
Lol that was a great fall! Hope you didn't get banged up too bad. Beautiful climb!
mellybean1718 thanks. Just a little road rash on my arm from the fall, nothing too bad 😄
Such an awesome 3 pitch climb. Nice work.
Gabe Shank, thanks! It’s one of those climbs that I was motivated to try because of the cool lines and the quality rock!
Fun looking route! Thanks. Glad the fall wasn't serious.
Such a good climb!
3:40 awesome whip!
nice whip!
great climbing
Glacier Brain thanks!
Pitch 2... Just get as much of your hands in and climb FAST. Don't waste time trying to find good holds in the wide spot.... Just reach past the wide spot and your DONE.
tonkashouse, sounds about right. It was the transition from the wide spot back to the thinner hands that got me before that longer fall, already too pumped I suppose. The second time up, I just pulled into lie back mode to get past that last section. Such nice rock on this route though. As long as you place your gear safely, you could whip all day and know that it will hold 😄
@@thorschosen Yeah... pretty soon you'll get the pitch super smooth. Last time I was on it I was cleaning it for a buddy who was doing a long mega-pitch day. Pretty sure I did it in sub 2 minutes so he could move on fast.
Amazing looking route. Just can't watch helmet cam view, gives me vertigo.
Nice job man! Seems like you're still kinda pseudo-laybacking the lower section of P2 with one foot out of the crack, try it jamming straight in with all 4 paws! You seem like a really strong climber, with a little more technique focus I bet you'll be bagging more index 10's in no time.
True. I felt better later when I was getting both my feet into the crack. I think I had a perception it would be too hard to have both feet in since it’s a corner, but was very wrong.
@@thorschosen When I catch myself trying to sport climb a crack I tell myself "be a crack climber, be a crack climber" under my breath haha. It is the way
What's the beat?
Didn't realize it, but I had "CLIMBING THE NOSE - Jorg Verhoeven's ascent" by la Sportiva, play at the same time and somehow it works.
The first song is called “Dusty Fingers” I believe I found it in the free music on CZcams studio
