For me this is by far the best video of this route on UA-cam! So many of the other ones are twice the length and most the of the runtime is just some dude yapping into the camera. Not this one! No bullshit, just classic jams and dope of shots of the action! Well done dudes, gets me stoked to go back out there!
Could you share did you get such good imagery from google earth? When i look st the grand teton its much lower resolution than what youre showing. Any tips?
Glad I just found your channel. Rocks and classic rock. How did you get away with using these songs and UA-cam not censoring you. Every time I used to make videos UA-cam would flag me for copyright issues
Great video! Im planing to go there this year. Is there a reason to carry the bag while climbing instead of leaving it at camp? Is the second rope for rappel?
Thanks! We take light backpacks that stores our water, insulation layers, backup climbing gear, food, and an emergency kit in case we get stuck and have to over night on the mountain. We do leave our larger packs down on the shoulder that we hike in and out with. Yes the second rope is a thin static rope for full length rappels. Have a good climb!
Great video dude, thanks for making this! I want to attempt this route next year. Was it so cold when you started that you had to do the first few pitches in the gloves? How does the 5.7 compare to say a 5.7 in eldo or RMNP?
It’s comparable, 5.7 really means exposed 5.8-9ish haha. Yes it was very cold, especially in the chimneys at the beginning. We actually waited till the sun came up to start, just to warm it up a bit. There was a slow party of 3 in the chimney so i bypassed them by climbing the face to the right, what i’ve heard is its the better climb anyway.
Used an arcteryx Gamma LT with a T-shirt underneath. Used a Marmot Novus for insulation in the shade, but any puffer will do. The shaded cracks were Icy early in the morning, I wore gloves the first pitch or 2.
Nice video but it looked like some pretty shoddy belaying around the 9:00 mark. It looked like the belayer took his brake hand off more than once. Not trying to be a dick but just pointing out a potentially serious habit.
Its not the gym bro. Everything is relative in the mountains. The climber was in an extremely low fall situation, and he was in eye sight. Get up there and do it for yourself and you'll understand.
Thank God, a rock climbing video with music that doesn't suck!!

Awsome video and the google earth views really helps to have a good idea of the route! Congrats on the climb.
Excellent video! Climbing this with a buddy in a month, appreciate the beta! 🤙
That was good! Real fine music too, thanks!
The route is called the Exum Ridge.

Great use of Google Earth

I try to use covers or karaoke versions of songs. ;)

Do you have a Topo map or any resources that map out the decent that you could share ? :) Me and my buddies want to climb the exum route this summer
The best guide to the upper Exum and owen-spalding routes by far is wyomingwhiskey. Give it a google, it should have everything you’re looking for.
Might be a strange ask, what jacket did you wear for this? Looks pretty cold.
Thanks!!

It looks too technical. Great video.
