    Great video! Impressive to manage climbing and filming in parallell. Normally, I struggle to find piece and time just to take few photos ☺️ Inspiring and enjoyable video. Thanks

      Thank you!
      Filming climbing is an overhead, but it also helps to focus on the beauty of the environment and the climbing activity in itself :)

    Great video! After you got stuck did you abseil from both ropes from bolts, or sling a block, or leave gear behind?

      We were lucky that there was an anchor with rapelling ring nearby. I traversed a few metres to reach it and continued the rappels from there.

    Top video guys! 💪🏻 2 questions : in the beginning there is a team with blue and red ropes that overtook you? But you were climbing in parallel for some time no?? And most importantly...did you make it to the lift finally!?

    • @jonmurua
      @jonmurua  Před 3 lety +4

      We started pretty much at the same time with that other team and we climbed in parallel for a couple of pitches, but they had some difficulties and we took the lead thereafter.
      The lift... Let's say that the views walking back down were beautiful after a good beer at the hut :)

      @@jonmurua hehehe not a bad place to spend the night uh?.....the thing is that I climbed Nabot Leon in June this year but there was an English team in front of us that did not let us overtaken them.....and they were pretty slow, so we decided to rappel down after the 4th pitch.....pretty annoying actually! Climbing in parallel is not an option for me, can be dangereous too......but I wonder why some teams have problems in letting faster teams overtaken them......

    You didn’t show how you got your rope back how did you both descend from the top , who unhooked everything up top ? How does that work

    • @jonmurua
      @jonmurua  Před 4 lety +2

      In 16:25 you can see how I got the rope back. To come back down, I was lucky enough to find a bolted rappel line nearby.
      If this weren't the case, I'd have probably built my own anchor with slings around a block or down climb

      This is how you breathe when climbing trad over 3000m :)

      You could try to lower/normalize the volume of the breathing with an equalizer before you upload. But all in all great footage. Would love to try this climb.

    Muy malo el video. Ni técnica, ni orden, ni confianza, ni seguridad. Insoportable además escuchar el jadeo
