From the days when I was still rocking Muria's, videos were 30 FPS and according the the internet, I was incapable of setting solid pro.
Something interesting, an awesome climb that leads to something more Interesting. Because of the number of classics that all lead to and start in the same area, it can be a bear to build a belay station at the top of this thing.
I watch this video now and it seems like a great climb but I think one of the reasons I never posted this was because the climb didn't really stand out at the time I did it. I'm curious now about going back and revisiting it.

There are lots of great, moderate climbs at the Gunks, but I think Something Interesting is my favorite. It is quite sustained for the grade, but you can sew it up!

thanks for picking up that trash up there. likely an accident that it was there to begin with, but still good job on keeping it clean

You should get a GoPro session, you'll be suprised at how well they handle! And you'll reduce weight when you climb!

Little factoid. I started monetizing the channel 5 years ago with the intent that it could pay for the cameras that are used to film it. In all that time, it has yet earn enough money to buy a brand new Go-Pro (though it's pretty close right now). Doesn't help that I do the bare minimum on monetization but I hate pop up ads. This video was also shot on my old Go-pro. I've since bought another and I'm looking into upgrading because your right, the new stuff does look pretty sweet.

Gunks climbers no like vertical cracks nor passive gear. 9 leader on a 7? Smooth enough. ;)

In the late 60s we climbed all of these with no cams and no grippy rubber. Think about it. Required greater technique Son of Easy O. And Arrow, CCK !!! To name just a few

I am with you. I think its great all the new gear and especially the climbing gyms. I am in my 60s and stopped climbing years ago. I plan on climbing in the gym as soon as this pandemic is over and who knows maybe back to the Gonks I go. One thing I am not a fan of is what they call sport climbing. I have no issue with bolts here and there on a long climb but bolting routs that could be top roped is no in my book. I think its an extension of gym climbing or something. Either way its all good.

You have to learn to place nuts.

He know's how to place nuts, he just does it with cams for some reason. XD

From the description: "From the days when I was still rocking Muria's, videos were 30 FPS and according the the internet, I was incapable of setting solid pro." I'm assuming this was a long time ago. If you watch his recent videos he definitely knows how to place nuts.
