Dude it's been insane watching not only your channel progression but your INSANE climbing progression. I can still remember the day when the half dome video came out and here we are now. Wow dude so stoked for you!
This video and its camera perspectives are incredible. No way I would ever attempt even being 20 feet off the ground, but this really gives people a feeling like they were there.
Life is good as I set here watching ur awesome video,thinking I sould be hiking,climbing,doing anything but watching videos,but we can't do everything at once, Awesome climbing,love watching every pitch ,
Great job on continuing to dominate (your partner is sublime!) Thanks for the mention of Billy Price.... he’s a old timer now (like me!) gives me hope for my return to climbing.... I can get a lot of mileage out of this new vid, she is so fun to watch! 🐺🧗🏻♂️🦅👍👊
I dont know anything about rock climbing but I find these videos fascinating. The amount of trust that you all have in ropes is astonishing. Especially, as you let them slide across sharp rock edges like at 2:30 risking wearing or tears. This blows my mind.
Discovered your channel three days ago when I came across your Red Pillar climb in the Patagonia and was instantly mesmerized. I'm not a climber, yet I binge watched every one of your uploads since then and just want to send much love and respect from the central coast of California. I can't thank you enough for this and look forward to your continued journey. BTW, hearing some of the music from your journeys, I think you might like Sidestepper from Colombia. Bless up and keep doing your good works!
Youguys are so psyched the whole time despite the sheer magnitude of this route, I love watching it!! Excited to give it a go some day myself, hope I’ll be as free spirited and relaxed as you both make it seem. End of the day it’s about having a hell of a time and sure looks like you had one. Down right inspiring. Right ON!!
Sick man! You guys are killing it. Been watching your recent videos latley....Super cool content. Great job both of you. Oh p.s. I really miss eating your homemade pizzas in J-Tree......So Good! Hopefully see you this winter and remember..."Send or Whip!"
Ellis! Hope you've been well. Ima and I recently took our cooking talents to the Alaska Range... We made homemade pizza the day we got back from the glacier!
Been loving your vids man!!! It's sweet to see what big wall life on El cap is really like. I never though I'd want to get into big walling - just top out at hard trad/sport and call it good. But watching these vids makes me want to seriously reconsider. Seems like quite the adventure
Tyler, finally finished. I loved it brother. Your vids are so wholesome and full of stoke it's really amazing. Glad you and Amity had a nice time and congrats big time on the send to ya'll! Also, what did you think of those G7 pods? Thinking of getting one myself.
In regard to El Cap, I think they are awesome for routes where most bivies aren't completely hanging and there is some sort of natural ledge adjacent to the anchor. They are super light, easy to set up and comfortable but they are very unideal for hanging out on and cooking. On super steep routes without natural ledges, I would much rather have a classic ledge. I think they really shine in the alpine. If you only plan to aid climb, I don't think they are worth it, as weight savings doesn't really matter all that much and I would much rather have solid flat space.
Hey Tyler! Amazing videos, you always get me psyched to go climbing! I wanted to ask you something: I suppose that, if you fall on lead on this kind of attempts, the belayer lowers you to the anchor and you start again. However, if you fall while following, do you get lowered to the previous anchor from above, and try to send it again while following?
Great video! Curious as I haven't ever climbed on any famous pitches - how are permits enforced out there? Is it mostly a trust-based system? How often do people head out without proper permits? Thanks!!
Not to mention crushing it. Super psyched....beta.....super chill bro lol literally everybody that climbs sounds the exact same they talk the same their personalities are exactly the same they have to be literally the most boring people in the world! LOL I mean think about it that's all you talk about is rocks and you talk like skateboarders all day super chill bro. Boit to get Mega!!! That was full on bro!!! Please please one of you be different!!( Lol
What brand are the inflatable ledges..I started climbing in 1978 and had the Forrest Wall Womb hammock with triangular rain fly...the side of you against the rock would go numb even with an ensolite pad..LoL

Buy a book on trad climbing/big wall climbing. Go out and learn to place gear at the base of a cliff. Begin to lead easy trad routes and progress. Learn bigwall systems/aid climbing at a crag. Book trip to Yosemite and go for it! If you fail, no big deal.
