@2:25 you say 1/3 your weight. then you say ideally for each to hold your weight. but it doesn't have to be.... in a redundant system. If each is a 3rd and I lose an anchor, that is NOT REDUNDANT. Unless I am missing something here.
Why does he keep saying mountain climbing? Thats more like grade III or IV (free-climbing) or just rock climbing. Thats definitly not alpine(mountain) climbing.
Sorry. I'm a physics teacher with NO experience with rock or mountain climbing. however, my students in upstate NY have seen nothing like this at all... It's a mountain to me! Oh, I didn't climb anything. I was just hung a bit and we were only a few meters off the side of the road anyway.

Are you talking about el cap? Because there are many free routes on el cap. But yes sometimes you have to aid for sure.
