    I think this story has value and this fella is clearly loving it, which is great! Shame about the negative comments, people getting triggered needlessly. However, imo the narrative would have been better focused on onsighting trad routes, E6 and above. Pre-clipping bolts doesn’t quite encapsulate the true onsight experience, if you want to overcome doubt remove the bolts. All the same it’s still super fun fighting hard on that first go and is great training for trad

    Jerry Moffat got good by trying many climbs with onsight flash as his intention. That increases focus and makes you a better climber.

    I love to go to a crag without any Guidebook and start climbing. Super Fun

    Ahh yes the forgotten style of ONSIGHTING. Thank god this man resurected such an ancient form of climbing! Even though all highend lead comps are onsight, all my friends and I attempt onsights, and everyone knows about onsighting. You guys are really getting desperate for views. Can't wait for the next wave of lay offs!

      You just got a high-quality 10 minute doc about onsighting wth interviews, projecting, sending, and interesting info - _for free_ - and you're whining about the _title._ Yeah, _they're_ definitely the ones who look dumb, here.

      @@MrJarastamon I don't see anger (I'm certainly not angry). It's just not a great video and the concept (that onsighting is some lost art) is patently silly.

    Kudos for whatever floats your climbing boat, but this is pretty lame. Literally the best climber in the world (and of all time) talks all the time about prioritizing onsight. And this ethos (try a route once only) is highly geographically biased. If you happen to live in an area with a lifetime worth of onsight attempts, great. For the rest of us, projecting is not only a choice it's the only option.
