Tee shirt idea, “You don’t want to have your nuts dangling all over the place in a big mess." Words of wisdom by Joshua Perry!
We need to find a different name for these things, like wedges or something idk
people like you need to be stopped
I love trad climbing ,wheni hear the jingle sounds of hexes and the call for rope I feel well and truly at peace
Oh! Counter examples of bad placement, and why its bad/ how it fails would be of interest too
Pete Awesome idea thanks 🤙🏻
Good shout!
Placing your nuts is important. You want to make sure to place your nuts correctly. If you fall on your nuts, it could be very bad. You do not want rope burn on your nuts.
"you don't want your nuts dangling all over in a mess", I should probably learn how to do this before I get into climbing
You gotta let your nutts hang in climbing
The "Slack!" shirt is pretty cool and all.. but we need one with our secret hand wave 😉
HAHA thats great! im doing it!
No you need one that's shouting "TAKE IN"
It was nice to see you including copperheads into a video about nuts. I see what you did there.
Your videos are becoming better and better!
My better half is so immature.
I had to tell her to grow up when you were talking about cracks and swinging nuts and nuts tidy.
So I don't suggest you take her along climbing.
On the other hand I'm a young 60yr old would would love to try climbing but sadly have very bad knees belonging to Arthur Ritis and he can bloody have them back.
But seriously I had a small go at abseiling and chimney ascending back and legs.
The thought of getting out of my safety zone appeals greatly.
Very much enjoyed your video.
Kind regards
Malc
Sick! Cheers man, can't wait for the next videos. Never even heard of a tricam, so should be interesting!
Awesome vid! I just got into trad, and I love the challenge of placing passive pro. Tricams are my favorite; can't wait!
That was so good Josh! The shots and the close ups were just perfect!
Phil In the Alps hahaha 🤙🏻
Great video as usual :) would love to see a video about bailing on multipitch trad routes and showcasing different scenarios on how to get back to the ground safely. Where there is no walk off and no slings from previous climbers. Using trees, rocks or leaving gear behind. What type of gear would you prefer to leave behind? What would be your most preferred setup. Is there a setup where no gear needs to be left behind? How do you back it up etc. Having trouble finding good resources for this topic. Sorry for this trad noob question. Love your content!
dude I had to watch this twice I was laughing so hard about keeping your nuts in order. Great information thanks for the video
love the humor. thanks for shareing.
The sound of that stone @7:10 omg ❤️
Awesome vid man!
... yeah man. Great video. Made me feel more secure about the size of nuts.
"You don't want your nuts dangling all over the place"... LOL... Yeah man, I hear you.
Good. Thank you.
Nice! 😀👍
nice work!
Oooh, a nope rope at the end!
Josh you have to setup a patreon. I would definitely support to make you a full time climber. Then you could make more big route climbing videos, Im thinking about the nose in particular!
Awesome video again bro.. looking forward to the tri-cams.. hexes and adjusting alpine draws correctly would be cool too. Cooperhead at the end was epic. PS.. If you need any help with the teleporter repair, I have a roll of duct tape, 3 wrenches, and some parts from a 1950's cow milking machine. Give me a ring.
Great vid, trying to start lead trad hopefully soon.
Doug Roberson named them ,an was the first guy to start useing the clean climbing trend ,got bless him
Good tips man
Nice!
This channel is seriously underrated
This video is nuts
Definitely show how to place tri cams!
Josh Perry will you be my mentor.....Maybe legal guardian if it goes good lol
Mice nuts bro!
More !!
Love your videos. All the info here was solid and I think its worth watching for beginners but I think its worth pointing out that you should not be learning to place gear that your life will be depending on through a UA-cam video so i appreciate your short disclaimer at the end of the video but I think its worth emphasizing again.
kc22in Right on!
Great shirt! Last time I placed some nuts into the rock was in May. I should go and exercise placing gear more :D Looking forward for the tricam placements. Do you plan showing us some weirder gear as well, like ball nuts? I know hexes are pretty straightforward, but did you considered a video about them as well? Kepp it up, thank you for the video!
Yeah I’ll go through everything!...eventually lol if people like the series I’ll keep it going and going.
I love how you spend half the video on the rock face, switching hands, dropping nuts adjusting footing, chalking, switching hands, and then all of a sudden you just stand up on the ground now obviously just out of frame... with zero background adjustments and exhale in relief! 😅
How do you nail those bolts in with a hammer?
Came for the knowledge and stayed for the euphemism's.
Hi Josh! Thanks for the vid buddy! Im also gonna be buying a couple shirts from your etsy store love the designs and wanna show some support! 🤠
Josef Berns Woah awesome if you have any questions about them let me know! I’m going to try and make a whole lot of great designs the climbing community can rock. So if you have any cool design ideas let me know and I’ll try and make it. 🤙🏻
@@BetaClimbers I just ordered the slack shirt but, now I want one with "F*@K! TAKE!" lol
HappinessFactory 🤣
Would you happily fall on well-placed trad gear? When can it fail?
Great video! can you do the reverse where you clean up the nuts after finishing the route? Another question, if you climb down to clean a route, how do you do that if you're super tired from the climb?
Your second normally cleans the route (your belayer). If the leaders having to clean the route its usually because the second couldn't do the climb. In that case the leader will usually rig an anchor and abseil down to clean the gear.
Hi Josh, any safety recommendation on how far apart should we space the pro? Can you show some examples of bad placement as well? Thanks!
Julian Chua great idea thanks
1:26 😂😂😂
That's what she said.
Sums up the whole clip.
hahaha when he just steps on the ground
Ive never had to do it, but have heard of “stacking nuts,” or using two smaller ones to match a larger nut you don’t have.
I would imagine if done right, it would be effective.. rigged in a manner where they stay together and pull together. I mean they can't shrink. Only small they can get
4:18 lollllll
Nice shirt, I had to get one! The video is ok too I guess.
Anyone know what kind of harness this is
Climbing harness
How can that tiny wire support the weight of a person?
That first piece is so truck that you don't necessarily need to set it as long as you clip it long.
How do they even work
I’m in Birmingham AL age 38 - only indoor climbing (sport and Boulder) so far and outdoor Boulder and about to do first outdoor top rope - how do I find a mentor locally? Trad looks intriguing
Mountain project forums or go to the location and make friends.
Thank you, man! But that was cruel from you to beat that rock, it was doing its best 💪
Alexei Rybakov 🤣
I don’t rock climb or do sports but this is the second video I’m watching apparently called Trad Climbing, I thought the tricam thing looked really cool at first I thought it was used for threading climbing ropes for multiple people lol. Initially I was trying to find out how they put in the rope ties on like Mount Everest. Somehow I got into looking at trad climbing videos. I still don’t know how they put in those rope ties when people climb Everest. I’m my head there just long nails that the climbers hammer into the mountain snow.
^_________^
P.s. nice ass
🤣
You missed out on keyhole nut placements!
A big ouchie! Lol
derek atwood 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rock climbing videos always seem to assume you live on the west coast with granite or similar rocks full of cracks. Not only cracks, but cracks that you put a nut in and know it wont come out, because the rock is solid. Meanwhile people be climbing shale that if you put a nut in a crack and fell on it it would just smash the rock on its way out lol
1st
Called Passive anchor because they aren’t permanent like a bolt which is actively anchoring into the rock
Passive gear unlike cams which change their geometry
1:15 I will never grow up
Mechanics been doing that for decades, look at a nut and know what size wrench u need, y'all ain't special 😂
I hope people watching these videos understand that you are a novice climber before they start taking advice from you. You leave so much crucial information out on most of your videos, it's dangerous. Get some more mileage in before educating mister. First time climbers are watching these videos and think you are a professional. Wonder how many have been hurt or killed thinking they learned something here?
Would be a much more useful comment if you added an example of what is wrong/missing.
He quite literally is a professional
You don’t know why they are called passive and have your chalk bag on a carabiner.. enough said. You don’t need your nuts in order just be a competent trad climber which comes from experience
