Hey everyone! This is To New Heights. On this channel we do lots of outdoor activities, primarily rock climbing in the summer and skiing in the winter. However we also post random vlogs and activities we film. So if you like any of our videos subscribe! We only show up in your feed like once a month anyways
More info: We are both 18,. Our posting schedule is, well, nonexistent. We are just kind of posting when we want to, but going into college, we'll have to see what happens!
Hey there, seems like you are missing a lot of likes for your goal of 200. So of course you got one from me. And by the way, you have done it very nice! Greetings from Germany!
I've done this route twice, and led it both times. Using only passive gear, since my first time was in 1980 I didn't have the then new "Friends." If course I was in great shape from climbing in Colorado/Eldorado Springs Canyon earlier that Summer. By any other then prevalent standards, it was a straight up 5.6, and not a sandbag. A very fun climb that was put up by Tom Fender, another climber from Boulder,Colorado.
In the beginning of the video, you say that Jon is free soloing 5.10b. I’m not aware of any 5.10b on this wall. Also, you traversed left to the Bob’s anchor before the 5.9+ crux. The 5.9+ line goes about 15’ higher. Some people do this to avoid missing bolts, and wonder if you remember if this was the case.
I’ve climbed that numerous times. Just to the east, on the back of south gateway is a big tombstone like boulder and just behind it is “credibility gap”, a really good 9+.
Why not sling some of the horns low do where you keep saying you will put a piece in soon. There are some bomber looking things to sling and it’s even faster than banging in a cam. Was it just so low angle there that you were chill running it out and thought they might lift off?
This is a review for real! Finally someone who really used a backpack before reviewing. Most of the videos out there are based on theoretical knowledge and I wish there were some more videos like this one. Thanks a lot! I was planning to buy the Ortovox Traverse 20 and now searching for a hands-on review. This video was really helpful.
I rode B's Bash today (on a snowboard) and it was completely groomed so I did a lot of straight-lining which was insane for how steep it is. Glad my board had nice edges for the stop at the bottom.
This is a great class 3 - 4 trip. Bighorn Sheep Canyon, the first part of the trip, is class 3 and makes a great warmup for the class 4 Royal Gorge which follows, especially important for first-time rafters. (Oh, and the brunette sitting on the right side of the raft, just in front of the guide, is fairly cute.)
Really loved this video and the respect shown in the comment section. I've only trad-climbed once and there's so much more to know than indoor climbing. Mad respect for succeeding at something that's a life goal for all us mortals, despite being a stroll in the park for Tommy.
Can be done in one pitch but the rope drag would be awful... There is enough bolts on each pitch to use no trad gear at all but I prefer to put a piece here and there just in case, mostly on the second pitch. First pitch has 5 or so bolts if I remeber correct, with one little hole that I girth hitch a sling through. Thanks for watching!
According to Black Diamond's website their backpacks are made in Asia and distributed to sellers in Europe. Sorry for the slow reply and hope that answer's your question!
