perfectly built up landings using nice straight wood slats for perfect fall zones to keep them pretty ankles safe, and custom pads, ropes with protection, sinching mechanisms carefully assembled in nice straight lines for safety AND aesthetics. Everything thought out, analyzed, constructed to perfection, safe and clean af. Colours coordinated. Sooooo canadian.
I love you noticed the color coordinated pads - which are home made and indeed created to complement the color of the granite 😁 edit: also what I didn't show is the 1000lbs of loose rubble that was quarried and removed from the landing to make it level. We then used the resulting blocks to pave the landing under Grizzly.
Glad to hear it! That's my main motivation. I've been putting out a free guidebook for 13 years which helps, but I'm trying to share what actually motivates me with these videos.
Thanks, that means a lot. I am new to this. My goal is to showcase the hidden beauty of Nova Scotia climbing, so I'm glad I succeeded in putting something together that earned your interest
Nope, but I can easily cover that in a future video. The setup everyone here uses for working boulders is GriGri, Ascender, and ++ rope protectors. Basically anything reasonable for an anchor. Key it to setup so it can't slide off the boulder - that's the part that takes most care. Full on rope style self belay doesn't work well for projecting boulders. We just pull slack as we go. If it's very overhanging, more complex setups are needed. I have a project coming up this summer that uses an extremely complex setup.
