This series is quite possibly the best redpointing “manual” committed to video. That said, I was surprised that the benefits of stick-clips and top rope weren’t mentioned as energy conservation tools.
Hi Ben, Thanks for the great videos, lots of sage advice. I particularly like the idea of warming up bolt to bolt or section to section on the project. However, I'm curious how you deal with this warm-up approach when a portion (or portions) of the route are extremely taxing on the skin or fingers? When warming up, I've usually defaulted to skipping these sections to preserve skin. I'm curious on your thoughts about this given your proclivity towards fingery and skin intensive routes. Cheers
