A note on vulgarity: These videos are real. Emotion and fear in rock climbing is a real thing. Sometimes I say vulgarities and yell at myself to get hyped up to do a sequence.

Only a true badass crack climber goes to Vedauwoo without tape. I’ve done this route 3 times, follow, lead, and TRS, it’s definitely a classic, with the top out being the unique and slightly freaky part. Nice job, when are we gonna meet up and climb together? I was in Fremont yesterday and it was balmy.

This was filmed in early October of 2020. I'd say prime season for City of Rocks is Sept/Oct, and then April/May. Good days can be had in most seasons, though. However, this area gets nailed in the winter and is too cold most years to climb there from Nov-March

I always carry a set of stoppers with me, and tey are especially useful on the Tower. I never use hexes any more, although I do have a rack of them.

Nice work Brad. That's a proud send! Careful with that gear though; the gates of your carabiners always need to face away from the direction of the lean of the crack (direction of climbing), and ditch those alpine draws (they create opportunity for cross loading your carabiners). Minor details add up, those two changes to how you use your hardware may safe your life Brad. Hope to see you out on the Ridge some day! Cheers

There really isn't a specific crux, as much as the pump just builds. This route overhangs in two directions, and the last 20' are thin hands leading to a short off-fingers section. I'd say thats where it gets difficult! However, the feet are pretty good, and you can kindof stem your way through it if you're good on your feet.
