Building your Rack
Вставка

- Looking to build a trad rack? What should you buy? What exactly do you gear up before heading up a climb. I've asked the same questions and it it turns out the answers depend on many things. I try to cover them in this video.
Sorry for all the "uhh.."s - Спорт

especially on those run outs, whew boy
You guys are so incredibly great to me in my kind of isolated world. People should pay money for the knowledge your channel gives freely. Thank you that your love for climbing out weights the love for a $.
Or the "pig". Seriously, it shows the sincerity, and Love for the sport.
You're channel is the biggest influence on my life by far. Out of all the climbing channels I've found, I find yours to be the truest to the very nature of the sport. Get used to a lot of greatfullnes, and "thank yous" from a humble in heart, yet ready to burn a 10, old climber! Love you guys, thank you! Climb on, david
Not that your channel is my life. please, understand.
I've simply found you guys like the hold I forgot about, or didn't know was there. That better portrays what you guys mean to me.
God bless you, and your many worlds of "CLIMBING THROUGH LIFE AND ALL ITS ADVENTURES ".
Climb on, david
Nice video! On the tricams- they can definitely work well in vertical cracks although the old floppy sling style can be finicky to place sometimes (the new EVOs with the stiffer slings are actually really good in certain verticals as they can be placed one handed- caught a 20 foot fall on a red one in a vertical crack while I was in Tennessee pretty nicely). One thing I learned from some more experienced Gunks climbers is that they are phenomenal to have on hand for anchors. It can help save you from using up a cam for the belay that you may want for the next pitch (which means you may be able to leave a few triples on the ground and save some weight). Lots of really good passive placements for them as well (at least on some of the easier climbs lol)
Great video, I know the pain of trying to find folks to climb in the gunks in the humid summer!
Thanks for this ! in 15 years I never thought to use those cheap mesh packs as gear organizers !!
Lol, I noticed that too. Kind of a eureka moment. Headed to Walmart tomorrow to pick some up.
you've anwsered most of my questions with this video :D awesome work, thank you!
solid info. thanks dude
Tri Cams - bomber a lot of places (Looking Glass ie). I never leave the ground w/out the pink and red ones - and rack them with stoppers. Don't use the other sizes often.
Desert crack aside. Don't even bring stoppers in the Creek.
I love your beta videos. Thanks for sharing them. Any plans on a Yellow Wall vid? I can't find one anywhere.
There's a hit list for October and Yellow wall is on it.
Hey Seth, wondering about the footlong runners, it seems like a regular 2ft alpine is more versatile? I can't see a situation where you would rather have the former than the latter, but plz let me know!
Awesome video, very educational. But I'm curious what your "utility unit/system" is. It seemed it is a substitute for a PAS...? How does it work and what other uses are there? Very intriguing and I'd like to see a video on it or just an explanation. Thanks, keep up the great footage!
Thanks. More often then not, I'm using it as a PAS on sport climbs and it's generally included in an anchor system between trad pitches. I've also used it for ascending ropes, aiding hard sections when I get over zealous, making runners when I run out of gear, and providing lockers when needed.
That's pretty cool, seems like a nice way to have a redundant anchor system and gear that can sub in for anything at anytime.
Great video! One question, what size is your pack? I've always wanted a climbing specific pack. I have 65 liter pack for backpacking which would probably work fine for all day but I would like something smaller. Yours looked to be in the 40 range but just wondering. Thanks!
Believe it or not, that's a 70L, however a backpacking pack. If you're looking to get something, I'd aim for something with a side/front access though I think most modern packs are built this way.
Don't know if you are still searching but if you do you could consider this one www.dav-shop.de/productdetails.aspx?id=10000401&itemno=430191 shipping costs may be bit high since you are probably not in europe

Why would you want to use a runner instead of a draw? Wouldn’t a draw be less likely to be backclipped?
How much do you suppose all of that weighs?
Hi, another question: you mentioned that you have two biners on an alpine draw, one end for clipping the rope to, other end clips into the sling of the cam. But if you use the same alpine draw for clipping into a bolt (for whatever reason or sometimes on a sport route), when you later go back and clip to the sling of a cam, won't the burrs damage the sling of the cam? What's the best practice here?
Great video, but helmet cam just started to make me feel sick after a while.
Did anyone else keep trying to scroll down to see the picnic table better, only to remember after the 10th attempt that videos don't work like that? They should, but they definitely don't.
Rock and Snow?
Seamus Cannon I was just there this morning.
Why don't you choose to wear your gear sling while trad climbing? it would save a lot of space on your harness loops if you kept the cams on your gear sling and wore it around your shoulder.
I've considered it, though I guess it's for more much the same reason I stopped slinging runners over my shoulders. I don't really like having stuff hanging around my chest.
dude what da fuck is going on with your mike
