Thanks Joshua for the great collaboration!! It was a lot of fun to meet you in person!!

[brandonriggins]

I have been watching you and Yann for 2 years...both of you are great...I love the "Idk what I am doing" play you did here. Honestly, I learned the most in this video

Are we not going to talk about the kid free solo with a capri sun at 1:28?

[chrisk.]

Been wanting to get into lead solo after i saw your first tr solo vids, its really nice to have people in the climbing community openly talk about it and not hide it away like its some forbidden knowledge

[DaxterAs]

What an awesome video! 👏👏🙌 Yan is a great teacher and his course has definitely caught my attention.

It was nice of Yann to drive down to Josh's crag to show him how to place gear and to do the routes. Not to mention the LRS!

[TonySpinach]

Yayy! I've been exited for this vid! I gotta go climbing with yann sometime, I only live a few hours away from him.

[alexlevin]

This is awesome - glad to see a tutorial about this. Definitely saw you guys out there filming, I should have said hi.

[harrylee]

This is a very impressive video man ! Good job ! I was a subscriber to Yann's TRS + LRS course for a year. But it's nice to see Yann's and you doing climbing !

[marcushill]

I enjoyed this video, particularly the honesty regarding the mistakes and risk taking. We all take chances and not necessary vocalise why and how we make our decisions. There is a lot to learn from this. A conventional trad lead video with similar commentary would help a lot of beginners.

I'd just led Horseman while they were setting up. Thanks again Josh for saying hello.

[GregSidberry]

Well done Yann. Good job explaining to him

[istp]

Thanks for the vid, both of you. I just recently started a similar approach but run the microtrax on my harnesses back loop, cache goes under and between my legs as recommended by Andrea Calligaris. And I might bring a stick clip if I'm getting in above my head, as I saw Yann do in another vid. Thanks!

[coryupton]

ahhhh yes high exposure, one of my favorite climbs in the gunks.

[Lanki]

Ooh yes 🙌

Great to see you two together. I am sure I will watch this video twice.

I myself use the REVO from WildCountry, find the mechanism of the trigger more reliable. With the Grigri it is possible that the Backup Loop run through till it locks. on the other hand the Grigri with many falls is certainly more durable.
what do you think? Grigri vs. REVO.

Best wishes from Germany .

[cynthiastandley]

Well that kept me on the edge of my seat. How did you get back down?

[sentfromdaniel]

I just did Three Pines the other day. Now what route was this? Was my first time up to the gunks and I was blown away by how beautiful it is up there.
My friends put me on Ursula, Northern Pillar, Sleepwalk, a 11a we top roped from a shared anchor on next to sleepwalk and three pines the next day. All in all it was such a great weekend to learn more about Trad. I also found a brand new cam on Ursula and they called it “My First Booty”. Which I hope is a route name somewhere.
Can’t wait to go back up soon! Hope to bump into yas sometime! Thanks for the great videos guys!

[Jokl]

Great video, but I think the fun of climbing for me is the part where I also get to hang out with friends!

[bobsthea]

for soloist, thicker rope is better than thin rope but its heavier per grams, so we need to tend and tensioned our anchored rope more often

[kyledrake]

Looks like he is using the slip knot to stop back feeding from Matt Hunter's video. I think it is the best way by far. Also, you can't stop the back feeding by increasing your cache loop because the extra rope weight it locks off the grigri.
