Yeah, don't. And at the level you are climbing I would advice against this even more. Most groundfalls happen in the space between the first and seventh quickdraw. A fall from the height to clip the second one can already result in nasty broken ankles or even legs. Nobody ever broke a meaningful record in a climbing gym. Practise, exercise and be safe.
As a general rule of thumb, it isn't a good idea to encourage others to skip the first draw. It does look like a super low first draw, but nearly all gyms that allow lead climbing have a rule that explicitly says you have to clip all of the draws, usually in order. Just going by the setup of your gym (single draw up top for an anchor and a TR that is just clipped into 2 non locking carabiners) is probably quite lax on saftey stuff, but most gyms are extremely antsy about these things.
This is true. My gym lets you skip the first if you feel comfortable. Usually I will skip the first if the route is “easy”. And my belayer and I have good communication. I’ll let them know if I’m bypassing the first. Thanks for commenting it helps the algorithm
My gym policy allows you to name the route. The setters put a tag under the start hold. Telling you the grade, the date it was set, route name and the person who climbed it first. So the person who originally commented is a &$&$ troll. Oh well….
Is the rope you are following up (the one's that already in place) something you aren't supposed to remove? Like, is it the gyms rope and you have to leave it there, so people can top-rope anytime? Just curious. It seems so annoying to be climbing "on top" of another rope, if you don't have to.
Those are top rope. And they are fixed. It gets frustrating trying to lead and the top rope gets in the way sometimes (I’ve been working on some projects on the main lead wall.) there are no fixed ropes there
@@Climbingdude Yeah, pros and cons to it, I suppose. At my local we just pull down the rope if we wanna lead, and then hoist a little flagline for topropers, when we take down the rope. But it does mean the less strong climbers routinely have to ask someone else to lead a problem, just to get a rope up, so they can work on top-roping it, because people inevitable forget to leave flaglines up, some of the time.

Skipping first bolt always is a bad bit of advice. Besides most gyms will give you at least a good stern talking too for skipping bolts.

You can't first ascent a route setters route lmao
😂😂😂

Oh well. Troll. Go away.
Horrible idea, especially cause the first one is already too high 9/10 times.
Is that a new Miura VS shoes? How does the smaller heel box feel?
Yes. Aggressive. And I love them

5.8, skipping first bolt, "first ascent" indoors XD
Good lord so many experts on this video. Oh well……. Gotta love CZcams trolls. Thanks for commenting it helps the algorithm.
