Simul climbing on Star Chek 5.9, one of the most beautiful multi pitches in Canada, super fun afternoon. Squamish British Columbia #climbing #rockclimbing #sportclimbing
trax was put before the crux, no? I thought the idea would be to set the static belay from above the crux move? Either way, cool method to pepper into a simul
Maybe if the leader doesn’t want to get pulled off while he is doing the crux moves if the follower were to fall? But yeah would make more sense to put after crux since follower more likely to fall during crux. Maybe the leader knows he’ll be secure by the time the follower gets there? Could be a lot of things
Yea trying to do this in one go on a 100m rope would be a rough ride! I've almost been pulled off the wall on pitch 3 by rope drag from blowing past pitch 2 and trying to finish the climb. If they're maxing out 80m simul i'd be willing to bet there's still a notable amount of drag!
