because statistically there are many more doing colored plastic gym boulder rather than climbing dangerous 5.13 pitches ... the same is for the food videos..
Accessibility and familiarity probably. Not many people have the skill/time/resources to do a Yosemite big wall, but many more people can afford a gym membership and are familiar with that.
Listening to you on pitch 2, I’m reminded of how dry my mouth would get on a strenuous pitch. I’m 70 and retired. Began in the mid 60s: I just enjoy watching now. Best Regards
If you see this and have time can you speak on what climbing was like back then? I’m very interested in that era of climbing and the differences between then and now
your videos are what got me back into climbing. took my first Yosemite trip last year, moving to Colorado next week so i will only be a few states over. maybe one day I will see you in the valley so I can thank you. 🙏
Just don't worry about the grades. They are kinda meaningless without an incredible amount of context anyway. Here in America you can go flash a 7A at one crag, then go to another and get completely shut down on a 5C :)

i'll never understand why videos of gym bouldering consistently get more views than videos of beautiful climbs like these

Another great vid!

Tough route. Looks like a nice day.
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Sick route!!
Cool orange socks!
that was pretty fancy at 18:00
Stellar work, gents. Take more muffins and a chiropterologist next time.
Was that a ten dollar bill that came falling down perfectly into your hands? Amazing video, hope to some day have 5.13 socks of my own :)
My cliff bar wrapper!
Hey! My name is Grahm from the Chalk Orphanage. Tristain, you are so generous. Would you mind reaching out to us?
I have sent a care package from the chalk i picked up from the gym floor, and dusted off the filtration system. It should get to the Orphanage soon.
Bat attack!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yo! Can you do french grades too? I always have to stop the vid to check :(

Money! lol
