finally a video with an anchor build! i love the climbing and all but a geek out over anchors and how many different ways to build them. Great video Seth!
These videos give off an energy similar to Steve1989. Guy with a pleasant voice (trad climbs/eats military rations) in 10-30 minute segments. Each video is of the same style as the last, but you can't help but watch them all.
Hey! My party and I were out there from 3/2 to 3/9. I believe we were on Ginger Cracks at Juniper on the day you were on Olive Oil. I would have loved to climb this while we were out there. I missed this, Solar Slabs, Birdland, and Crimson Chrysalis while we were out there but was able to get on Epi, Frogland, and Tunnel Vision (among others). We had a high mileage week, for sure. Ginger Cracks, Hot Fudge Thursday, and Aquarium rounded out the week. Two of our party also jumped on Dream of Wild Turkeys in an attempt to do Dream and Prince of Darkness in one day... too many parties to accomplish that, though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to heading back out there in the future. Like you, I'm a northeast climber so I spend most of my time at Cathedral, Cannon, or the Gunks. Next time we head out we are discussing Icebox Canyon through the Maze. Cheers, keep up the quality content.
Wow! So glad to see you on this climb, Seth! We climbed it back in the 90s. In fact, one year we had to bail because we were getting snowed on. There used to be a tree at the top of pitch one but I guess it died or people tore it out. Such a great climb!
Climbed this a couple years ago after just landing from a 11hr flight from the UK and being thrust straight into the summer Vegas heat, I almost passed out by the 3rd-4th pitch haha. Amazing day and amazing place wish I could've spent more time climbing than being on the strip. As always great video 😁 keep them coming mate
nice climb. in the 'kinda crap' pocket I was able to get a totem in an 'aiding' configuration, sling clipped to the loop of two engaged lobes. Made me feel better anyway even though it may have just been decorative. :)
Will you be adding any videos of the rest of the pitches? This is the climb in Red Rock that we're aiming to do the next time we go. We really enjoy all of your videos, and look forward to watching the rest of Olive Oil if you decide to upload!
Nice one Seth! Thanks for showing how you built the anchor. I've noticed that you bought another pair of katanas and since I was thinking of using those for trad climbs I wanted to ask you what downsizing from street shoes would you recommend, I see you pretty comfortable with them. Greetings from Spain!

One of my favorite multi pitch routes in RR. long walk off, though...

I have pitches 1,2,3, and 5. Unfortunatly, while probably the easiest, pitch 4 might be the money pitch.
@@FirstPersonBeta That's awesome! Really hope you post the other pitches when you can even if you're missing one, this sounds like an awesome climb.
Yay, anchor building video! Nice climb man, did you get some new katanas?

For sport, I tend to go one European size down (so from 45 to 44) . For trad, I try to keep it the same.
Belayer: “Vegas baby!”
Seth: 😒
😂
I'm here to climb baby!
Are those 60 cm slings you are using? Thank you so much for all of the beta, very useful.
sick video
Dang, Seth, you're super comfortable with runouts. Did you resling your old camalots with accessory cord? Are they extendable now?
Wait until you see pitch 3.
