    The real gold here is Ryan’s masterclass in fear management. 👏 A quiet, stoic approach works for some, but singing to yourself and talking to your gear may be more effective for others. I struggle to keep the lizard brain in check in some situations and watching Ryan has inspired me to give this approach a try.

    Great vid, thanks! Hey, when you test screamers, is there any chance you could test a daisy chain as well? Like as if you were to use it as an emergency fall arrest lanyard so that the stitching would rip and slow you down enough hopefully for the 'unstitched' sling to catch you? Edit:just seen this video was 1 year ago 😂 but would this potentially work?

What about a route that uses just bolt holes and removable bolt hangers by petzel, clean climbing with no hardware left behind, ie hangers an bolts. Aid climbing, with sport moves maybe a new climb style.
