Climbing Yosemite's Steepest Big Wall - Westie Face 5.13-, R

- The Westie Face is one of the best mostly-free routes anywhere. The movement is stellar, the protection just reasonable enough, the rock immaculate, and the position is simply brilliant. Additionally the fact that it's relatively short and low commitment makes it easier to work than many of the other routes in the area. That being said it's quite sustained and only has one pitch that isn't 5.12 or harder. Lastly, many of the pitches are a little heady to climb.

i'll never understand why videos of gym bouldering consistently get more views than videos of beautiful climbs like these
because statistically there are many more doing colored plastic gym boulder rather than climbing dangerous 5.13 pitches ... the same is for the food videos..
Agreed brother. But hey, to each their own!
@@ArrampicataGolden great point! Not too many pink holds on this route! HAha
Accessibility and familiarity probably. Not many people have the skill/time/resources to do a Yosemite big wall, but many more people can afford a gym membership and are familiar with that.
Listening to you on pitch 2, I’m reminded of how dry my mouth would get on a strenuous pitch. I’m 70 and retired. Began in the mid 60s: I just enjoy watching now. Best Regards
Haha yes. You get it!!
If you see this and have time can you speak on what climbing was like back then? I’m very interested in that era of climbing and the differences between then and now
Thank you!
You captured the intensity of this route beautifully.
Big ups James!!
your videos are what got me back into climbing. took my first Yosemite trip last year, moving to Colorado next week so i will only be a few states over. maybe one day I will see you in the valley so I can thank you. 🙏
Hell Yeah Cory! Holler at me when you see me!
That Kong draw is the best thing ever.
these vids are so awesome, thanks for posting!
inspiring stuff
great work buddy, i really enjoy watching ur videos!
what an experience thanks for sharing !
Where can I buy 5.13 socks? Apparently, I'm wearing the wrong kind.
Another great vid!
Good fuggin job guys! I wish I was there
Sick route!!
Awesome!
Tough route. Looks like a nice day.
Cool orange socks!
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
that was pretty fancy at 18:00
Was that a ten dollar bill that came falling down perfectly into your hands? Amazing video, hope to some day have 5.13 socks of my own :)
Stellar work, gents. Take more muffins and a chiropterologist next time.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Bat attack!
Hey! My name is Grahm from the Chalk Orphanage. Tristain, you are so generous. Would you mind reaching out to us?
Money! lol
Yo! Can you do french grades too? I always have to stop the vid to check :(
Just don't worry about the grades. They are kinda meaningless without an incredible amount of context anyway. Here in America you can go flash a 7A at one crag, then go to another and get completely shut down on a 5C :)
