Don't take this the wrong way Seth, but it was actually great to see you slip on this route. Makes you look human and makes me feel better as a 5.9+ trad climber. Hope you're well bud!
Just climbed this 2 days ago on TR with no gloves. I think i understand now why its called Jaws. Looks like my hands got attatcked by a shark. Super fun climb though and lots of work. I hope to be able to trad it someday. Awesome video!
Couldn't see you had your back to another wall at the end there and was puzzled as to how the heck your feet were holding on the slab with your hands barely crimping haha. Relieved when you called it out 😅
Awesome vid as usual! If you’re ever passing through, you should definitely check out Jackson falls in southern Illinois. It’s be really cool to see you on some of the classics of where I’m from
There's different needs depending on your location; Climbing in the Gunks here on the East Coast for example is very different from Moab or places in Europe because of the difference in rock. So I'd look into the gear recommendations for your specific crags. Try Mountain Project for that. Generally a trad rack consists of a double rack of cams, a full set of nuts, extendable draws, plenty of slings, lots of locking carabineers for building anchors, a nut tool, etc. The exact make up and what you should buy will depend on where you climb
Start climbing with people. Use their gear. Learn to place it. Buy similar gear to them. Better yet, get qualified instruction from someone certified by the amga
@@jarenstrandlie8552 Totems have independent side loading, so if you have an offset placement it isn't an issue. One set of lobes can be pretty tips out and the others crunched and it'll still hold
Totems are a game changer, walk less, allow offset/asymmetric cam loading and they just feel so much more confidence inspiring especially in the smaller sizes. Black to red are amazing, orange is a bit floppy for my taste (I don't own one, but used it on a few pitches) but it's still a totem so it's bomber once placed.
Best CAM I've ever used. Absolutely worth the money though I'm not one to project hard trad lines so we'll see how they hold up over repeated falls. I've only had a single fall on 2 of them at this point.

Heading down to the NRG in a few weeks and I am unbelievably stoked. Definitely getting on this
Thanks for showing the rings work at the end there! Nice smooth changeover.

Laying back the perfect hands?
That intro clip! Awesome. Seth, keep the videos coming:)

One of my favs. I'd absolutely call this a 10a.
You grabbed the root! I grabbed the root too ;-)

that would be awesome to see him at jackson falls!
partykrew666 I’d love to see him get psyched out on spiders from Mars. Deceptively hard
@@sandstone.addict That was my first 5.10 send :)
I remember almost dying on this thing when I was brand new 😂
Here I thought for a moment that you meant Jaws II in Rumney. I was confused about the jamming, and the trad, and when you ascended to 5.15 level.
It's always strongly debated whether trees can be used as holds. 😁
It is natural ... ;)
Trees are aid ;)
It was an aid climb for sure...that being said, this is my favorite FPB upload to date.

Hello, I want to start in this way of climbing, what material do you recommend me to buy? Thank you

Find some AMGA guides on instagram that guide in your chosen climbing area and look at what they use.
My calves were burning on this one
Nice climbing! That slip in the middle 😬.
What do you think about the totens vs camelots?
I’m probably now the one your looking for an answer from, but totems are worth every penny. Best purchase I made this year.
@@elonmusk452 Can you explain how their are different using your vast engineering knowledge?

I’ve noticed those totems in your last several videos. They new? How do you like them?

That looked really wet
Hmmm, back in the 60s and 70s we would have said those gloves are aid climbing.
Veggie hold! Never did this rt always meant to
