Great video, and I love the format! If you don't mind me saying, you made the same mistake I did on your pitches. You built your first anchor at the old rappel station (only half way up pitch 1), climbed the second half of pitch 1 as your second pitch (seconding), and then linked pitch 2 and 3 together. How was that rope drag over that final ledge before the crux section? It was almost unmanageable for me when I did it this way. Pitch 1 goes to top of where you seconded (Your version of pitch 2), and then Pitch 2 is from there all the way to the ledge before the crux. Pitch 3 is from the ledge (crux) to the walk off! It eliminates all the drag. No real harm in doing it your way, but the angle change on that 10ft ledge creates awful rope drag.
The climbing itself is interesting to watch, but if I could make a suggestion for next time, don’t add in the heartbeat sound effect. It’s really distracting. Just let the reality of the situation speak for itself. That’s the whole point of recording a climb, right?
Thank you for the feedback! I'm new in video making and sound engineering, and I'm playing around with different video styles (adding music and sound effects, or keeping it simple without them). For this one, I wanted to capture the feeling of stress I was going through in the moment by using sounds, so that viewers could really put themselves in my shoes. It might be a bit too much though I agree.
Great question! Once at the top, we use a fixed anchor (a tree or fixed bolts), then we abseil down and remove the protective piece that we have placed.
Cams are spring loaded. You pull a trigger to retract the camming wheels then place the piece in the crack and release the trigger. Reverse the process to retrieve the devices.
Over cammed 3.5, desperately cramming a #1 at the back of a flared slot, duct tape on the gloves, breathing hard on 5.8, go pro…Gotta do it for the likes bro🤣 Is this supposed to be comedy?
First year doing trad, and this was my first 10a. So ya Im still working on my gear placement (especially when I step out of my comfort zone). And for the tape on the gloves, those stupid BD gloves broke at nothing at the velcro strip (I don't recommend them). But ya, if you haven't seen the rest of my videos, you'll see that I don't hide the fact that I'm a total gumby. I'm just trying to have fun out there trying new things :)
Im not a rock climber but i know this is a very hard way to climb, totally different skill set that regular climbing. Looks like some sharp rocks too. Might not be perfect but he keeps going and makes it so he must be doing something right. Keep going man!
What a pointless, elitist comment to post. Dudes pushing himself and growing as a climber and wants to post it, and it was fun to watch. What benefit do you bring by flaming people in the comments?

Nice Screw at 1:45 can lever out or bend in a fall because the sling will likely slide down to the hanger in a fall. Soyez prudent et continue à avoir du plaisir :)
J’était contient du risque, je m’était fait dire de me garder 2 10 cm pour le haut et j’en avait juste 2. J’aimais mieux ce placement la dans la partie Wi2 que dans le face. Mais merci du disclamer, pour pas que le monde penses que c’est sans risque comme placement.
You may now talk down on sport climbers my friend, you have also unlocked the ability to roll your eyes at boulderers. Welcome to the elite group of trad climbers. Obviously joking here, good job though, your gear looked pretty good from what I could tell
