  • 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.

  • @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.

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

  • man, theres no way in hell you could free climb that. maybe that rock has a place you could but the path the took no fucking way unless ur spiderman.
