    That was my first wall, climbed back in the early 1980s. Spent the night on Dinner Ledge and topped out the next day. Really fun climb.

      Mad respect for doing it back in the 80s! So cool. Still climb today?

      I climbed the South Face in1977 after graduating from high school. We did the same thing bivi at Dinner ledge top out the next day only issue was we ran out of water and it was hot! I was somewhat delirious once on the valley floor.

    This brought back so many memories of my first wall experience. I did the supertopo recommended 2 day (Fix the pitches above dinner ledge). I took a whipper shortly after exiting the Kor roof. Thanks for posting this.

    So rad! Love watching these videos. Keep em coming. While I’m not able to climb as much as I like right now, watching someone else crush keeps my stoke high.
    How do you like the petzl daisies over the yates? Also did you re thread them?

    We do live in the country of milk and honey! I remember having to save up for a piece and now people are giving them away for free! I have a crate full of carabiners just from climbing the moderate routes on Mondays. Plenty of free cams too. Putting a cam deeper in granite cracks don't make it any stronger and waggling a cam side to side when taking it out only walks it deeper in until you get it stuck. There, a $80 lesson for free! 🤪

    Last time I was climbing in Yosemite someone left a #1 cammed in the side at the base. One of my buddies was digging for a nut tool when my other buddy uncammed it from the wall and pulled it out saying "Thanks! I need one of these!" We both laughed as our first instinct was that it got welded to the side. Nope, someone just left it there for our pickings.

    It looks like possible way for a solo climber without any protection gear such as ropes. How hard was this in reality if i may ask?

    Do y'all self belay for the short fixing or just ride the big loop until your partner shows up?

    • @GravityLabz
      @GravityLabz  Рік тому +1

      Totally depends on the pitch difficulty, fall potential, and area below. If it we are not likely to fall and it is a clear zone below, let the loop fly free!

      It has nothing to do with how many pitches it is but how long most parties take on route. Most parties spend a night, therefore it is a grade V wall, aka a big wall.

      @@dannygrout92 depends on the pitches. Royal arches is 15 pitches and is a grade IV (ie it is expected to take all day but only one day) but there are grade Vs that are only 10-12 pitches, yes.
