So when are you coming over to the real Yosemite? 😉
I've never really made any real plans to make it over there..there are still many places close to my home I have yet to visit :)
That looks like a classic beautiful route. Well done! What shoes are you wearing? Also, I was wondering if you have ever tried Kouba Cams (Double axel version) and what you thought if you have? Thanks and I love the videos, come to the sates when you get a chance, you will have a blast.
Hey man, thanks for the comment, I am glad you are enjoying my videos !! The shoes are some basic Red Chillies Circuit, pretty awesome for crack climbing :) The front of the shoe got split(not a hole, just the two layers of rubber coming apart) after just a couple months, but nothing that some glue wouldn't fix. Hopefully they will last a a while, before I have to have them resoled..
As for the cams, I have never tried them, they are a little cheaper than the well-known brands...let me know how they are if you decide to get them! Thanks man:)
Hi Kuba, this crack looks cracking! I live in UK and my go to place is Millstone. I think you've done some climbs there (Bond Street / Dexterity, etc.). What is the name of this route? I bought Valle Dell'Orco guidebook (written by Maurizio Oviglia). What other crack routes of similar difficulty to Bond Street / Dexterity would you recommend? Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!
Millstone - what a place to be as a trad-climber!! Millstone is the area closest to my heart :) Even then there is very few routes I've done and many many routes waiting to be climbed :)
Check out the "10 routes in Millstone" video I made a while back..I'd recommend The Mall, Great Portland Street, the Embankment routes (VS - E1) and Once Pegged Wall in the nearby Lawrencefield..but there is SO MANY great HVS's and E1-2's that I haven't tried..just pick one and go for it :) Let me know what you climb on your next visit man!! I am itching for a trip to the UK, haha :)
PS: The name of the route is Bianca Parete, 6b+.. Thanks for the kind words :)
@@KubaClimbsRocks Thank you for reply! I've sent you a message into your email, as it will be easier to chat!
Hey! Thanks for the nice video! I also wanna go there some day. It's way nearer than Bohuslän for me. By the way, which crack gloves can you recommend? My Ocun gloves are broken now. They were the first generation. The second model now should be less durable, said a friend to me. Greetings!
Hey man, you are welcome! I had crack gloves from Obrworks which I was pretty happy with until they got stolen :D Now I have Singing Rock's Craggies, they are also pretty good! Would recommend both :)
@@KubaClimbsRocks Dík!!
Tape-gloves for me are the best choice. If you learn how to tape, you can re-use many times. Normally I use the same pair of tape-gloves for about 3/4 month. Best regards and have good climbs!
Thanks!@@mikrojinn
