Enough of gazing at someone's butt while they climb above you. Check out the view from the climber's eyes.

Great tunes!

@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.

@jbroscious Close, it's rated at a 5.8 with a spicey traverse. Nothing too hard, just really fun.
-
5.7ish?
-
@akdirtbag Yeah I was wondering this! Do american climbers not use nuts as much? Anyway nice video, looks like a climb too

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.
mralex5425 2 weeks ago
@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.

Awesome video! Awesome line! I would love to see "Crack of Doom" filmed like this! And that sucks about your gopro.

@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.

@plapides I like that idea of having the draws already on the cams.
