Didn’t think the views in the buttermilks could get any better, and then Dan steps into frame

[ConnorHoak]

“Blip bloop bloop” love your narrations mid-send, Dan. Never change

[Martin-Josef-Hofer]

Cool Vid! Hope to travel to the Buttermilks someday! Also, that stone-throwing-trick to locate the impact is IQ 200 <3

[badbunnyTUBE]

Superb video. Also you saved the best advice for last. Too often climbers forget to appriciate the fun in this sport.

3:48 I love madrock pads because they now all Velcro together. Ankle saver.

[Gravitron]

One thing that Bishop taught me is that altitude does make a difference. If you're coming from close to sea level, be aware that it takes some time to acclimatize

[kevinhfoster]

My relationship with Ironman Traverse: every year, early in the session, make it all the way across consistently, punt off the end 10 times, shoulders officially gassed for the rest of the day lol. Need some new climbs.

Edit: based on last tip, I was very bummed after this happened AGAIN, but I got very stoked sending Bowling Pin after. Fun is always the most important thing IMO.

[kayaclimbing]

Great boulders and even better advice! Thanks

[HektischerHecht]

Currently in Font. Haven't been climbing outdoors much, but the topouts, even easy ones, get me freaked out. It's fine until a certain point and then i cannot calm my mind anymore and panic. Really annoying.😢

[danielsimon]

Whats the best season to visit Buttermilks for Bouldering?

[JoeLoveD]

@hoopersbeta love the channel and this video guide! what's the song that starts at 6:25?

[zAznInVaznz]

what's the width of your tape at 14:15 ?

[middle-agedclimber]

That is the first video from the area where there isn't a million people and 3 million pads. Did you perform dark magic to have it completely deserted???

[sam-yau]

Good lord don’t do the rock toss trick on sandstone, especially desert sandstone, sounds like a good way to chip a boulder 😅
