Adam you are so articulate and generally lovely to listen to. Your attitude about climbing is a model for so many climbers and I’m really glad we have someone like you to look up to.
I am sorry Migue, my comment was out of line. I sincerly apologize for what I wrote. I was just trying to have some fun and ended up being totaly disrespectful to you. I hope you can forgive me. I just checked your channel and it's really good, congratulations on that.
@@Hussen-g2g you're right. I was very disrespectful, one thing is making fun of a video and another thing is being offensive to someone. I really am sorry for the comment and you are totally right, I am dumb. They idea is to have fun in the comments section, not to be offensive. I'm sorry.
@@elchico197 i actually do 6a campussing but the coment was lots of fun to make haha. Seems like It generated some smiles. Cheers and thanks for the good vibes 😉
So, a few years ago you thought you would never send it, and then it took you 3 runs on the same day. Adam, you're amazing and amazingly still improving!
I would be interested to have more info on the placement and removal of quickdraws. It seems that you just lowered off the anchor without removing the quickdraws, who removes them then ? Also, when you do an onsight attempt, who places the quickdraws ?
probably he doesn't count the time when he puts on quickdraws (if there aren't) and tries all the moves. Of course the first try will not be considered onsight or flash.
I'm beginner who has only climbed indoors, so this might sound like a dumb question... can you "dab" on outdoor routes or is any hold you can find along the route fair game?
In general everything is on when climbing outdoors, short of traversing to the side and climbing a different route than you're supposed to. There are routes that eliminate certain features but they're pretty rare and somewhat frowned upon
no, generally speaking there is no such things as "dabing" outdoor outside of the floor/trees (and bolts of course), i'd say you still need to be reasonnable at how much you can move away from the bolts. Although in some areas where the routes are quite packed together it may be specified to not use some assets of the wall/holds to make harder grades in less space. hope i was clear, keep up the climbing and if you have the opportunity to go outdoor do it ! it's a whole new game !
Depends - Think of it this way: The ideal is mountaineering-style, "Get to the top by any route necessary." Use any means to reach the summit. Once a summit has been reached, the next goal is usually "Reach the summit via a certain face or feature". The north/south/east/west face of ____. The Such and Such Ridge. Etc. From there you have the more specific, "Use this particular crack system" or "The holds between these two features" to reach the top. More contrived: "Use this line of features, without using the good crack three feet to the right." And finally: "Use this line of features, while taking care to avoid the large horn halfway up for hands and feet." Each of these is a step away from the pure goal of "Reach the summit by any means", and all of these games exist on a spectrum. Climbers tend to see goals that require fewer rule-based contrivances as more "pure" or "aesthetic", but even "Use these crimps to top out while avoiding any good features" can be a very fun game. TL;DR It varies widely by route, but people tend to like climbs more when there are fewer rules about what you can and can't use.
If the routes are too closely bolted, then there are some instructions, which is not ideal. In normal routes, anything than excessive traversing, while following the bolts, is generally ok.
Nice to see you takling you’re weeknesses head on! Leave those knee pads in the closet for a while and keep on going for straight out hard routes! Respect!
Since everyone is giving me crap for saying that this video is boring, here are some things that would greatly improve it: 1) a mullet 2) a moustache 3) booty shorts 4) some techno or rock music 5) make it a 4 instead of a 9 6) top rope that b*ch (that would actually be more impressive than red pointing it) 7) stop taking climbing so seriously 8) another mullet 9) nudity 10) barefoot climbing 11) every hold is a mono 12) inflatable pool + no rope = instant DWS 13) have it narrated by an old russian lady with a really thick accent 14) sound effects like an old martial arts movie
If you climb in a competition and there are other people climbing at the same time and you do your power screaming do you think its messed up that you're distracting others for your own focus?
