My First Lead Rope Solo Climb in the Mountains

Starting my rope solo climbing journey back in the same area where I also climbed my first ever free solo route.
This is just the beginning. I will be doing lots of rope soloing in the upcoming months and can't wait to show you all of my upcoming projects.
I hope to progress with each route and gradually increase the difficulty of my rope solo ascents.

I absolutely love watching Andraz. You sometimes give me chills based on the angle. Also those snow caves!!!!

What a beautiful, quiet place. Love your journeys, very very enjoyable. Thanks

Nice trip! On the first clip at 2:29, you could already have suspended the lead rope weight. That would have secured the bottom belay carabiners in the proper orientation. Also you don't have to extend so many quickdraws because you don't have rope drag when on rope solo... Good adventure! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you for shearing your experiences, your videos have something that differentiate them from the rest.

The climbing is always amazing but I'm here to say that your opening still shots are amazing too. More quiet openers. The land is so beautiful and calming.

Maestro well done. Thanks for sharing.

[malumarado]

Thanks, thats a good route to start rope soloing - not too hard but enough that you have to pay attention to technique and equipment.

amazing video. Can you explain the rope solo system a bit more im curious about it

[maikgodecke]

You remembered the hiking poles :)
whoop whoop

[colter]

Hey man! Long time watcher. I am curious if you felt more afraid of falling during a rope solo vs free solo. I have heard that when free soloing, falling isn't a big consideration since it isn't an option. But when roped, the fear of falling becomes more real! Great videos man, keep them up!

The angle between the points in your first belay station is far too big. You could extend the sections of the rope coming from the individual points to the master point, making this assembly stronger. Just for consideration, for re-climbing the pitch I use ascencion, if I do not want to climb it normal way again, with the spoc as a backup. Great stuff and good luck!

Keep on grinding your rope solos! Definitely another kind of challenge to deal with the rope, haha

Its like the Monty Python sketch climbing the North Face of Uxbridge Road

[kopoflakes]

Noooo! The sticks! 
Edit: Oh I thought they were lost. Glad you picked them hehe

[christian-bleau]

Hi ! At 4:45 you said
"another slip knot so I don't have too"
Why you use it and how, above the carabiner ( beetween you and the carabiner) or underneath the crabiner ?
Thank for your nice share !!

I also have no friends and am starting to get into rope solo climbing :).
