David, great to come across this video! I used to climb with you in college. If you're ever in rifle or near there hit me up. Craig. Hope you're well bro.
Incredible line! I'm curious why you decided to extend the piece placed further out in the roof (the first one placed), but not the piece placed lower in the roof (the second one placed)? Seems like, if anything, you'd want it the other way around. Is there something I'm not getting?
The roof was obviously not the crux on this route - there is no way that roof was 5.13 - now the open corner above the roof looked more like a 13 - very thin and overhanging. A very serious trad route to be sure - big up to all those hard enough to tackle this project on their own gear!
Beautiful line, sick climb, impeccable technique. The Greatest Show on Earth, indeed.
Awesome! I enjoyed how lovely and patient you climb that great route. All the best, Dave
Very Nice. Kenny Parker was my guide the very first time I went to the new, 20 plus years ago...
wow nice
Masterclass on awesome route, very cool to watch. Thanks for uploading!
It is at the Meadow River Gorge in West Virginia about ten minutes north of the New River Gorge. Is truly an amazing climbing area.
Amazing route!
that is a ridiculously cool route. it has everything!
What a route. Amazing climb, really nice choice of Nightmares on Wax tune too. Thanks for the upload.
What a great line that is.

trad is rad, that was a great climb
What a beautiful climb got dam
Great climb. Fluid, patient, in control. What trad climbing should look like.
Incredible line!

Ducking badass
wow, great send. The crux didn't seem to be the roof, rather the dihedral after the roof. Is that right? What a bad ass route, it had all techniques!
ai, essa foi irada, o teto foi massa...!!! para o alto e sempre.
me sudan las manos
Awsome. really nice.
looks so easy you must have done it reallly well :)
Trad is the best!! Sick send bro !!
Thats badass. sweet video
if i had the seeds to try trad i would try this route. so solid
Usually someone else climbs up and takes them out as they go. Not sure all the time though.
Where's the crux footage!?
Is this the third repeat?? Mike's book says 2 repeats.
SICK!
Брилянтно!
sick line but da fuck music is this lol
Props.
whoa some trad, eh?
i would have belayed just above the roof, make it five ten
diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip dip.
