The casually tossing rocks part was my favorite

[chossclimber]

Why isn't he blasting his obscure musical choices for everyone else to hear?

[SCOclimbing]

The fact that they evidence Alex Honnold 7 years ago as a free solo idol and he is been crushing the new generation the past 2 years because of the oscar pretty much looks like a prediction ahaha

[CameronS]

"I climb 5.10 in the gym okay?" HAHAHA

[Spacegoat]

I couldn't stop laughing at the continual crapping everywhere.. But i have to admit i have done the free solo one a few times...

It would be nice if the experienced climber in the video was using the correct hand positioning for belaying.

[Lambda]

Am I the only one who sees really bad belaying at around 0:46 ?

[MaxMustermann-opzp]

please don t be one of the belaying guys in the video, they are using the tube wrong... it s not a hms, they should turn there breaking hand ( right hand) around and keep it underneath the belay device in order to hold a suprising fall

[ukaszrutkowski]

Isn't this guy's belay device upside down at 0:43?

[klausschmidt]

Also, don´t be that belaying dude at 0:45

[ragnarnvfoster]

Pretty on point seems I think every last belayer placed their hand 180 degrees upside down as though to catch their climber with their fingertips as opposed to, IDK, your hand? No wonder they need kevlar reinforced gloves. What exactly is the adverseness to using your hand right side down where you are objectively orders of magnitude stronger? That would be like carrying your groceries into your home with your pinkies extended horizontally and the bags draped over the edge.

[potayto]

What kind of pants are those at 0:35? I cant find them anywhere

[Jona]

Is the bad belaying supposed to be a joke too? Don't hold the blocking side of the rope underhand!

[samuellees]

Would not want to get belayed by that guy in the red lmao.

[federicoezequielmackin]

OMG... the belay device at 0:48 is threaded incorrectly.... climber goes on top! Don't be that guy at the crag!

[bonefishboards]

Some of the reasons why I avoid the popular parts of the Gunks during the in-season(s). And there should have been a segment with the guy yelling up beta. Another Gunks annoyance.

[FLIPE]

I saw a guys dog eat a climbers sock in one go at a crag once. dong be that dog at the crag

[northaunt]

at least that guy wears a helmet while the others don't. so son't be the other guys either.

[conorraney]

Haha awesome video! Although, I'm not certain why a banana peel on the ground is a problem, or were they trying to portray not leaving right on the trail? To me I see it as an opportunity to give the soil some nutrients. Of course it will attract bugs but I think us stinky climbers attract more anyhow. What am I missing with the banana peel thing? Great job guys!

1:30. I recently saw chalk graffiti in a descent "cave" where it will never get washed off. I can't fathom why someone who is climbing in a beautiful, natural setting would feel the narcissistic need to leave behind their own "hieroglyphics"!
