That area IS confusing! I'm glad I am not alone. Last time I was out there a couple weeks ago I tried to do Party Time (5.7) and ended up linking both pitches of Lost in space (5.10b) on accident. Was confused when I didn't find bolted anchors, but I was glad do my first trad 10, even if accidentally.
Early on in my trad career when I was at best a 5.9 climber, I made exactly the same mistake. Needlessly to say, it got interesting fast. Ended up finishing after my first ever major whipper. It was a definitely a major step in my development as a climber from the mental perspective. Absolutely agree that area is highly confusing!
It’s quite remarkable how many people I’ve heard, both here locally at the Red and visitors alike, make this mistake. If only I had a nickel right? Lol but Lost in Space sounds like a sweet route. Hesitant to do it though due to the sketchy anchor situation. Bolted anchors could help it earn classic status.
So I know this was posted some time ago, but I'm very curious. Did you ever climb Thunderchicken? and get film of it. It was 22 years ago I did the first accent of Thunderchicken. My name is Aron Boyles. GoPros were unheard of in the summer of 2000. I would love to see that. Im old and broken and i dont climb anymore.
Nice climb man, looks very cool to climb. I have a question for you, why don't use double ropes? They are much more safe and you can double the protections
Oh man, you know it's spicy when Seth places two cams in a row

Pull up the rope, clear the belayer, remove the block...then rap.

Almost made the same mistake myself.

That jammed block near the anchor looks scary af, nice send, keep em coming.
That thing skeeved me out. The end was a little harder because I didn't want to touch it.
I love your channel!! Hoping for more alpine stuff in the future! Keep up the good work.

The route looks very nice to climb! Congratulations!
Totally thought you were going to whip after that roof Crux section. Second, that boulder at the top anchor was scary AF😬. Nice send🤙
Congratulations !! Love watching your videos, actually they made me want to start trad climbing, just bought my first friends rack 😀
Looks like you got a tiny bit pumped!
Wow, amazing rock.
And you're strong as always.
So beautiful climb !
wow that looked so sketch and exciting all at the same time
Dear God that anchor! And the death block!. Otherwise, it looked fun.

What are those crack gloves you are wearing that can be seen at 1:35 and 2:02?
I'm unsure as I borrowed them from my buddy. Unfortunately, I lost my Ocuns that I usually am using.
CLIMBX Super crack gloves
You've gotta post where lizard dare at some point; I frenched damn near the whole thing.
Heard That. That rt is NOT 5:9!
Easily 5.10b or 5.10c...and solid for the grade at that...
What crack gloves are you wearing?
Honestly, I'm unsure. I was borrowing them from my belayer.
I like my Ocun's a lot better but sadly, I lost them.
