@mralex5425 You would get a longer extension clipping biner to biner, but it itsn't the safest thing to have metal on metal. You always want to have things in the same pattern, as much as possible...biner-webbing-biner-webbing-biner. This will eliminate the number of gates that can flutter or blow out if the biner turns and is loaded on.
@climbv15 I did make a crack of doom video it's not with a go pro, but you get to see a lot of the action with me dangling from a rope to shoot it. visit my channel and you'll be able to find it. for some reason I can't provide a link to in in the comments.
Hey, I really like your video! I started trad climbing this summer and made a video like this one and had to edit out all the fumbling and mismatched gear sizes too.
Everyone racks differently, but I put rack my cams already on a draw, saves a few seconds from having to hunt for a draw every time.
cams are faster in and out, and they're multidirectional. I think that's why they've become way more common than passive pro. Don't get me wrong, always carry nuts figuratively and literally.
@jasons520 It is kind of sad to be honest. I love cams and they work a charm when placed correctly, but I much prefer to have a bomber nut or hex underneath me. Passive pro is just way easier to understand how to place well...
@akdirtbag Passive pro is also cheaper but easier to get stuck and cams are more exspensive and harder to get stuck but thats true passive makes you feel alot better when you get a great placement in.
@akdirtbag It looks like a sewed up this crack didn't it. The route is pretty long and at the time i was fairly new at trad climbing. You should see the bloppers that I edited out that shows me fiddeling with each placement and having to swap out one size for another.
@Leninmarxcastro It really comes down to preference and convenience. Because of cams being so available to many american climbers it seems like many will use cams instead of nuts. But you can fit nuts in smaller places than cams so I like to try and balance how much I use each.
Great tunes!

why do you clip the draw to the sling instead of the biner? seems like you could get a longer extension if you clipped biner to biner.
