What's with the gloves?

Nice work man

The 'have fun, be safe' got me something different

Solo to the anchor. Repeat. 🙀😂

Hey man, how tall are you? Wondering if that pod beta might work for me!

Between the baby and the parties without walkies the audio is unbearable the climbing is as excellent as always though.

why would you climb so far above the belay before placing pro? Ensuring a potentially disastrous factor 1 fall onto the belay...

Looking at this climb out my window as I watch this 😂

its a little hard to tell but is the wall slightly positive? or is it like exactly 90 degrees? can anyone confrim or deny? i find this important for me in these videos cause i can better feel into certain situations :)

1997-2001 it took me 4 different partner attempts to get to the top of PoD. And I lived in SF at the time so it was a bit of a slog to get there to start the slog in before the slog up. I remember the exhaustion that last attempt on this final pitch. I had gone to the first bolt by headlamp in a previous attempt, but the rest was all shiny new for the last go. Damn that was a lifetime ago. Good good times chasing thin limestone and 13b. . I have to say, though, that i am happy to have moved on from the intensity of climbing to what I call Be A Great Ancestor pursuits. Climbing got to be too narcissistic.

I am cackling at how absurdly hollow it all sounds 😆 I sure hope it's partially a trick of the recording!

Hate to be critical of good video of a classic route but your technical skills are suspect. Be careful bro and climb with someone who has some solid training (and learn something). You waited way to long to place your first piece off the ledge. You put your partner in a shite situation if you take an unexpected whipper. Always place a key first piece to reduce the vectors dude! ...pure physics. Clipping 50 year old petons when a perfect mechanical is right next to it? Sketchy shit...

impressive...makes me ill tho

All mountains and hills are giant petrified tree stumps as you can clearly see the tree bark

Awesome send! How would you think EoM feels for a 12 climber? the holds don't look terrible.

This is a great route I led this in 1981 with my then GF as my belayer. I used only passive pro the entire route, and wearing RR Verappes. No "sticky rubber."

This climb was conceived by Huntley Ingalls and led by Layton Kor. I could have participated in the first ascent but my school schedule didn't fit with their timeline. Never did this route, but no longer possible for me due to health issues. I'm still doing gym climbing and occasional trad routes at City of Rocks and in the Dolomites; limiting myself to ~5.6-5.7 these days, Watching this ascent made me think about how much easier it is with cams and chocks; when put up, they were still climbing with piton protection--and lotsa balls!

Looks like a face in the cliff

Nice wouldn't be able to do it without aid

Thanks for these videos. Fond memories of living in Squamish in the 1990s and hitting these routes every summer. You do sound absolutely miserable on every climb though.

In my head that looked like a hex placement. But I haven't climbed it, so can't really tell.. Although, that was a spooky pullout. I guess a deeper placement forces the angle to become lower moving it below the 30 degree threshold

Would really appreciate a seperate cut of this without the music. I think the raw sounds are always much more entertaining and less distracting personally.

That rock looks super nice… good job

That's a heck of a tape job considering I don't think you threw a single hand jam in 800 ft of climbing.

What time of day did you finally start this first pitch?

I enjoyed the commentary and anchor building!

I thought the same thing about this pitch and did it the same way you did. I believe the actual route starts from the ledge around the corner to the right and is much easier and keeps you out of the corner with thin holds.

What camera are you using?

well, you're cleaning anchor, not building one. gates are facing each other (not a big deal in this scenario but still, considering you bothered to mention it), and metal is still on metal whether the biners are in the rap rings or the hangers......they're all metal (which is also fine but you bothered to say "metal on metal is usually bad" right after putting metal on metal and saying not to).

So much better since they re-bolted it!

hardest 12b move? have the guide authors never climbed Lambda at the meadow?

Oh my god i could never do this. Im freaking out while safe in my bed. And theres NO BREAKS and no bathrooms on the side of a cliff face. Brave.

dude was puuuuuumpppedt! Nice send. whats the grade?

I love this route. I didn't flash it, but fun nevertheless.

If you bailed after pitch 5, curious what length rope you carried up? The route lengths look too long for a rappel with a single 70m rope. Thanks!

thanks! planning on projecting LFC this spring! 🙌🙏

miss these videos one of the first guys to do record first person trad well and with a good personality behind the camera. Learned a lot from this channel. Wonder if he's moved on and if so, to what

I can’t believe you sat on that shit pin at the top.

Sherrie’s was 10d back in ‘83. That short finger section anyway. Great hands after.

Best climb, shortest approach

Thank you for taking the trouble to video the route and upload it here. I have much better idea now of Snake Dike than the guidebook could impart.

Sling the tree or worse than it looks?

What an insane video. Every time you got to a ledge I'd think there would be a belay station, but that crack just kept going!! Amazing work Seth!

Had an fun time trying to lead ED after my partner backed off. Got through the "crux" and tried to do it all in one pitch but ended in terrible rope drag mostly because I wasn't smart/brave enough to extend my slings enough. From what I can remember if broken into two pitches it's like 5.10a first pitch to Cray's exposed 510a G second pitch.. wild that such a impossible looking roof can be climbed by mortals!!! The gunk's may be the best trad crag in the universe!

"Remember kids, climbing is fun!" Lol. Sitting here in my office, ceiling fan making a breeze, my hands are sweating from watching you climb this.

Thank you dude
