    Nice! i remember this climb, back when I lived in MD. I climbed mostly at Seneca Rocks, but went few times to Gunks. This route was great... technically not very difficult, but indeed quite exposed. Climbing out of the ledge on to the overhang required certain commitment. But then again, I wasn't very good climber - I think the hardest I ever did trad leading was 5.8

    Impressive Linking all three pitches and the music was killer Slinging the tree, never thought of that but cool. Did rope drag concerns affect how many pieces u placed or would u place the same amounts of pro if pitches were not all Linked?

    • @silasrossi
      @silasrossi 2 місяці тому

      Linking in one pitch is a bit of a party trick and requires excellent rope drag management. The two best ways to reduce rope drag are place less gear and sling things long! I may not place more gear if breaking things up as they normally are but I know the route very well and it's well below my limit. Hope that helps. :)

    🎉 woot! Keep em coming silas! Your camera angle is so good, I love watching you climb and learning from your movements! As Doug robinson once said in his movie Moving over stone. Imaging is an important part of learning and watching movement helps climbers learn to move over stone. I can't thank you enough for your videos. "Without rock, we'd all be surfers" 😊

    • @silasrossi
      @silasrossi 2 місяці тому

      So glad you’re enjoying the vids! Lots more coming soon. And I totally agree on the movement modeling - hard to substitute for it. FWIW, I do climb differently with the camera in an effort to get a steady and consistent angle. Without the camera I’m much more dynamic with more side-to-side twisting and changing which way I’m facing. Anyway thanks and keep crushing!
