I love the Youtube haters. They will comment about his hair, his wife, his weight, the way he talks, anything really to make themselves feel good. Haters!!!! You just talk shit because that's all you can do. Why don't you make a better video.

Being new to climbing the one thing that is off putting is reading all the negative comments about these videos.

[ganjabooyy]

good videos thanks for sharing

[CaptainCarthex]

These videos are annoying because they're so short, why aren't they like five minutes? Or ten?

@wamonchez I'm not sure about his hair, but I approve of his wife.

@leuradales

dude dont be put off by what people say, most people who leave angry/negative comment are people who sit in front of there computers all day. just be proud of what u can do, keep trying and ignore the naysayers

@tonys1221

that's completely not true. tape on holds is just meant to associate that hold with a particular "route" or "problem."

i.e.- a route completed by using only green taped holds.

The route, or sequence of holds may have a certain difficulty, but each individual hold doesn't have a "difficulty rating" all by itself

[tonys1221]

The point of the diffrent colours is to tell you what difficualty it in i.e bule level 5 , green level 2
