These kind of videos remind me of my first videos 15 years ago, where my lack of knowledge shined haha... This is not a free solo, this is barely a highball and it's really actually just a scramble between what looks like 5.5-5.8 or a v0 scramble... Whoever bolted a draw into the rock has lost their mind, you could do this in muddy sandals.......
Exactly what I said lol. Still I suppose it has a benefit of being a decent place to teach beginners how to clean/rap at a safe height. Only reason free solo is in quotations is it’s technically marked as a sport climb on the crag.
Short guy: "How do I do this climb?" JPR (Tall guy): "Oh just do exactly what I do!" *proceeds to use the full extent of his 2m wingspan* Short guy: "This is gonna be a tough one...."
First climb that no one is denying that it's v4 with over a few thousand views. 100% V4, which is so hard to capture. Not sure your level of climbing, but form a V4-V6 Climber to a fellow, good send
I've been seeing so many videos pop up for me lately where it's been like "v6-v8" and it's actually been a v3. This is the first video where a v4 claim has actually looked like a v4! I know it's a year old but give both yourself and the route setters a pat on the back!
Wow! Your footwork is amazing! The way you walk up the wall , especially the last part without holes just looked so good! Dont listen to these stupid kids thinking its easy
@@JPRecordings bruuuuhhhh this is literally v8 IT Just Looks easy when someone climbs it! All the moves we're v8 starting from the beginning to the small pinches and the Overhang was soooo hard
As a climber, you should realize that you cannot understand a climb fully when you can't see the depths or angle of the wall. Chill out, stick to your own climbs and let others enjoy their triumphs. No one is going to give you a medal for being a tough guy.
nice climb, but try not to full crimp like that or you’ll break your fingers, try to wrap your hand over the crimp and work on finger strength. It’s safer and it doesn’t leave you stretching your fingers out like you did in the video haha
It’s not great advice saying “you’ll break your fingers” using an established and widely used grip position. Better the highlight the increased chance of a finger injury or to suggest actively training (eg hangboarding) in a full crimp position so it’s less dangerous when you have to utilise it in a climb.
Looks like a fun route! If the holds were a little worse that would easily be a v6. My gym doesn't do enough fun setting.. 90% of the V4-5s are just V2-3 with worse holds and bad feet, and some 'tricky' starting position.
