One of the best sport climbing routes in the New River Gorge, West Virginia, Confirmation, formerly The Racist, has a reputation for being tough for the grade. With long moves, thin holds and high feet, this climb goes down as an area classic. Immerse yourself in this dynamic climbing experience as Elliot Gaunt (‪@elliotgaunt3526‬) seemingly glides up the wall.
Confirmation is located at Snake Buttress on The Endless Wall in The NRG, West Virginia. This unique section of sandstone stands out amongst the rest for its stark white color contrasting the surrounding orange toned rock.

Man. Probably one of my favorite sport climbing films I've seen to date. Epic cinematography, good music but even greater audio, and amazing climbing to top it off!

Gorgeous route and climbing, but kudos in particular to the cinematographers! The close-ups of moves and holds were perfectly timed, and really elevated the watching experience and my understanding of the route! Well done!

What got me was the smooth lines and flow. So brilliantly relaxing to watch!!! Reminds me of my younger days when anything was possible (and I climbed nowhere close to this fluidity but man the feeling was awesome). Thanks for the memories :)

I just onsighted my first Doug Reed route! Just a 5.9+ R trad line but fun and engaging the whole way. It was made even more special seeing as Doug was belaying me. Such a great video and some beautiful movement from Elliot. Doug thought long and hard about the new name for this route. I think "Confirmation" has a nice ring to it.

@@brothersclimbing6948 Happen to know why it was named "The Racist"? 😅

@davidmoffatt370 2 года назад

If I recall. FA ~1990 called it the racist because it's white and mean. Bright white stone. Small edges with long reaches. The nearby route Mississippi burning was built on this theme I think. Both routes have been renamed. Mississippi learning and this is now confirmation. Famously classic and hard at the grade.

@tomforsight8557 Год назад

Could you please list the tracks as I would very much love to know those - I watch this video (and The Crouch (5.13d / 8b) Elliot Gaunt) on a regular basis before climbing, it really gives me the spirit, so rare to find something that makes you feel relaxed and motivated at the same time :)
