It must be something in the DNA of free soloists that makes them all unassuming, humble guys who you'd struggle to pick out of a crowd. Canadian trad climber and soloist Will Stanhope is no different. Hailing from British Columbia, Canada, Will has climbed all over the globe, relentlessly probing the extent of his exceptional talent with and without a rope. In this video, Will is in Joshua Tree and although he may have brought a partner in the form of Matt Segal, Will spends most of his time climbing by himself, regularly cranking out several routes before breakfast. Inspired by classic footage of Stonemaster John Bachar, Will solos a number of the area's super-classics before roping up to take on the laser-cut splitter 'Asteroid Crack' (5.13).

@4:18 Even those who free solo are afraid of something. IMO that jump was much less scary than what he did to get up there

Right O'kelly's was the best crack I ever climbed of hundreds in J Tree and I was thrilled to do it without stepping in from the right as well as not fall, given that at my fittest I was a middling 5.10 climber getting hauled around by Kevin Thaw in the mid-eighties. "Hey Kevin, can we do a warm-up today, something in the 5.9 range? Aye, less go do thissun, is only ten ploose. I'd get blown in two pitches and spend the rest of the day playing belay money. I didn't try the left and more difficult of the two and he uses it for a downclimb. Nice sense of humor.

I noticed that - he's reversing an overhanging 11c crack. It's been 20 years but I recall that being very awkward thin hands and rattley fingers. (I didn't do it clean.) The crux is near the bottom but the landing is awful.

Once he had the rope he could have rapped down the side he climbed rather than jump across. The anchor across on the other boulder would have worked fine for him to rap the other face.
@alang7846
@alang7846 4 года назад

lots of those j-tree routes are under graded, and worn down by the 1,00's of climbers. you have to see who did the first assent to decide if the grade is real.

I see something in Will Stanhope that I wish I could see in Alex Honnold... a reasonable level of healthy (and critical for survival) FEAR.
@ZerolinGD
@ZerolinGD 2 месяца назад
Alex honnold doesnt have fear because the climbs he does are so easy for him
@driver9337
@driver9337 2 месяца назад
@@ZerolinGD No, that doesn't explain it. No matter how easy something is, if the penalty for making a single minor mistake is a horrifying death, any normal human being would have a reasonable (and healthy) fear of doing it. The fact is that Honnold (and a few others) are simply wired differently... they do not experience any fear of death. And the inability to fear death very often leads to premature death.

Has there ever been an On-sight/Flash soloing ascent?
@mattwetmore
@mattwetmore 6 лет назад
Yes all the time. Almost always on a climb that is a few grades easier than the soloist's onsight grade.
@joeskis
@joeskis 6 лет назад
Matt Wetmore what do you mean all the time? On sight means very first time with no prior instruction, which would then make it a flash if beta is given. I bet those are very rare among the soloists.
@mattwetmore
@mattwetmore 6 лет назад
joeskis yeah I know what they mean. Look up the route Freeway on the second flatiron for example, almost everyone onsight or flash solos that. I've onsight solo'd stuff well well well under my limits in jtree. Like I said, it's not uncommon, but people tend not to onsight solo anything close to their limit.

@chrisnorwood8755
@chrisnorwood8755 8 лет назад
+David Green It's not exactly "bolted"...it has exactly one bolt, above the crux, (old 1/4") that's been there forever. The climb takes pretty 'shit' gear, as far as crack climbing goes, up to that point as well.
@Brian_Moser1118
