Aid Climbing the Dawn Wall (Mescalito)

[@scottclimbs683]

Very well organized belays. Great route and thank you for the bolt replacements.

Dude you should have millions of subs. Best climbing channel online ever made! And im not even a climber. Loving these!

Well this isn't climbing

[@fedorpravov5372]

@@patrickoconnell9387 Agree. Climbing Management Plan: Rock-Based Recreation in Joshua Tree National Park The establishment of bolt-intensive face climbs, commonly known as “sport climbs”, is considered incompatible with wilderness preservation and management. In Norway the alpine climbing community treasures highly its code of ethics, summed up in “leave no trace.” It is generally considered unacceptable to add bolted anchors on ice and mountain routes in order to make them easier, safer, and more convenient to climb. “Fixed anchors should not be placed merely for convenience or to make an otherwise "unclimbable" route climbable...The infrequent placement of new fixed anchors is allowed when ascending a route to connect terrain that is otherwise protected by removable anchors (e.g., one crack system or other natural feature to another)...New, bolt intensive climbing routes (e.g., sport climbs, bolt ladders) are not appropriate in wilderness and should not be created.” - Rocky Mountain Colorado Wilderness Management Plan

[@Phoenixhunter157]

@@fedorpravov5372they shouldn’t put up Hand/ guard rails, via farratas, and cables like at half dome for hikers either. Is there a management plan for that crap too? Making dangerous terrain easily accessible to people who have no business being there definitely shouldn’t be encouraged.

[@Phoenixhunter157]

@@patrickoconnell9387might as well install a ladder.

[@washburnb1]

I like the fact that in all of that, you noticed and appreciated the succulent. That's aware, man.

[@jakerorie5644]

Tyler’s not joking about that ankle! saw it for myself the end of October while gearing up for The Nose. the size of a baseball. Kudos for getting back on the wall so quickly! serious commitment.

[@randal4221]

A man who takes "video description" seriously, and not for advertising, impressive.

[@thealamkin5255]

Thanks for the new bolts! We appreciated them this month:)

[@SpazmanianDevi1]

Great to see this kind of content on KZbin man, thanks so much! It's a great way to keep the stoke high as someone that's trying to break into the Big Wall world!

[@JoeKyser]

14:37 must be a climbing thing to get so excited over a fall lol

[@caedmonswanson2378]

Taking a fall like that thousands of feet in the air gets the adrenaline pumping, feels amazing.

[@JoeKyser]

@@caedmonswanson2378 Thats fair but the spectators were the ones amped up

[@pakmatherdiverb]

Its fun

[@rbmh]

i seriously can not even imagine sleeping overnight on a fabric ledge attached by ropes, that high up. Cant beleive man had propane burner litght at night, it could easily burn ropes, amazing courage.

[@adammiller9179]

"I guess we're gonna show Tommy how it's done" lol

[@kdogmyguy]

You are consistently my favorite climbing KZbinr, all your videos are well edited and too the point! You’re a huge inspiration man hope to do even just a few of the legendary climbs you’ve done!!

[@jamesaymer5415]

Another banger Tyler! Thanks for all the bolt replacements bro!

[@th0maspaxt0n42]

hearing sum of my cares at 16:25 made me start my own climbing playlist lmao

[@34owner34]

It seems you need galaxy brain abilities to try to keep track of all of the ropes and equipment when you do a climb like this . Epic to watch !

[@bkenwood88]

"He's in space over there somewhere-" way to make my worst hell even worse, put it at night

[@jps226]

thanks for the inspiration! I climbed back in high school in the early 2000's and am just now gettin back into it again. Very cool stuff!

[@brandonadams3195]

Nice video, awesome adventure. Thanks for the rebolting. Way rad!

[@mcdoonaldsmanager8706]

Never quit making videos

[@djsdownhill2010]

Love how stoked you get on falling! Just started lead climbing and I get it for sure! So much fun! Great video!

[@jeffray2869]

These guys bring Beds, Hammers, Food, etc....straight up a wall......WOW

[@ragreenburg]

Those packets of Indian food you had on the second night are probably one of my favorite things to take with me backpacking or camping. They're super good and those packets are tough.

[@MrFg1980]

Nice to see the valley open back up again. Great climb guys.

[@pedrourcola6288]

Great video and fantastic climbing, guys!. I love Yosemite!

[@robertDK3]

14:03 nice smoke spot i guess

[@lemmingsoutside]

The fall followed by a sweet little camera flip was epic. Wicked ascent bro-cabrios!

[@chrisellis2991]

Sick video as usual. Thanks for replacing the old bolts. Alot more work involved than just drilling new bolts.

[@thesebarehandsmusic]

Watching this is pretty soothing.

[@mileshardin6906]

incredible; first time hearing flight of the concordes being played by others

[@blainewinters8492]

Thats super dope that Alex Honnold rolled by and "casually asked" why you guys were bringing so much wide stuff... I ran in to Tommy Caldwell and Blair Williams (vice pres of Edelrid) on El Cap a couple weeks ago on their way to do the Nose and Half Dome in a day. Super sick video man!!

[@Alixxusa]

Where was that alex honnald part?

[@rumiloghmani3987]

Please do more scrambling videos, love seeing them they strike less fear into my soul lmfaooo

[@Sw3nssoN]

Just very recently discovered your channel, its nothing short of amazing man!

[@hemming57]

I remember watching Harding and Caldwell going over the top on TV in the 70's.

[@johnnyrodeck]

Absolutely amazing

Best stuff in this Would love to see more

[@davemacleod9623]

Good shit boi s...great filming..

[@VistasNatureWildlifeFilms]

Love this stuff. Keep at it. I'd love to photograph you all sometime

[@MrPickleButter]

Sick Dude! Thanks for replacing those bolts! Can't wait to go up there

[@swisspowerjet]

no words - as normal people you can't belive what are you doing - gratulation for this

[@johntuttle9544]

Kinda liked that old mank....Charlie Porter might've placed one you chopped....I'd treasure that keepsake.

[@tylerkarow]

Oh I'm aware. I still got em!

[@joshX200]

I am so unbelievably scared of heights I have no idea how you all can possibly do this stuff! Very impressed (especially sleeping while hanging off a cliff that high) o.o

[@jon-williammurphy9780]

Big walling is exhausting, it's surprisingly easy to konk out after a long day on the wall. Even for me, a person that started with a fear of heights.

[@paulmitchell5349]

Those hand drilled bolts reminded me of the mighty Warren Harding.

[@pakmatherdiverb]

All drilling in the park is hand drilled

Glad to see you're not flagging the ledges; that never works as well as PTPP says it does.

[@beauthetford7608]

enjoyed the tribe, souls of mischeif and doobie brothers. we have the same playlist

[@1stWolverine]

Very few people out there who'll even climb this. Even fewer who will replace bolts. For something like this do you have to talk to someone about replacing bolts? How often were you able to reuse existing holes?

[@KellenMcgrath]

I dont know whats more surprising, the fact that I watched every second of this without being distracted, or that I'm 19 and knew over half those songs you all were jamming to whilst rebolting🤣🤣great video! Watched the rock fall vid first as it was recommended, but all your videos are very well produced and extremely captivating !! Keep it up man

[@РоманХ82]

thanks for the subtitles) cool rise) you guys are just cool))) hello from Russia))))

do you sleep with secutirty on ? I would not trust myself to not roll of the thing :D

As a german/czech sandstone climber i really want to try aid climbing.. i mean ive never placed metal pro, not even gone start on hooks, but it kinda looks fun.

Nice, it's good they brought there toothbrush

belays? I think not lol!! how much time could one spend hahahaha!! my grandkids dont call anymore.

[@tonygonzalez112]

Nice video guys. Someday

[@TiredofEarth]

these type videos give me a weird sinking feeling in my stomach.

[@guyg8879]

genuine question, once you reach the top of the mountain do you have to climb back down it? or is there a pre plan hike back down tot he base? i dont see any vids after the climb on how most get back down.

[@wellziesworld2948]

This is awesome.

[@kevincampbell7220]

I think that was the same 1mm cord u clipped in 1998

[@gryphon940]

I'm a fairly new climber - only climb indoors right now.. trying to get my endurance enough so I can go do some outdoor stuff (I'm in PA) but how do you do these big walls? Do you need to wait until other parties are finished the route you are on or can multiple parties climb the same route?

[@mjh42777]

Dude you guys are awesome. Thanks! How long does it take to put in one bolt by hand like that?

[@dironman86]

Was this on halloween weekend? If so I might have a 15sec clip of you guys from the meadow. It kinda looks like I got the spot around @3:40 in your video.

[@PMMM9]

Great video.

[@michaelfinck5433]

Everyones talking about their fear of heights, im more terrified of keeping all the rope and gear organized and accessible

[@sparkered1984]

Love your videos Tyler! Is that a Petzl Tribloc that you are using for your easy daisy'z?

[@thebeardedhiker8381]

can you do more footage of you coming down to complete your trips?

[@bobbyd7363]

Hey Tyler. Your vids are top notch. Do you have any vids of your beginner climbs or did you document your early progress? like did you start in a gym? what was your progression? older new climber here. thanks!

[@TheJeffDing]

I notice you use an alfifi in this video but just use your adjustable daisies in later videos. What made you ditch the alfifi? Do you think the adjustable daisies make it redundant?

[@tylerkarow]

My friend had one and I tried it out for a pitch but I didn’t like it. I just use adjustable daisies. Way better.

[@MohitGupta-zm9vk]

I wouldn't know what rope to touch, damn.

[@brendencorfield182]

Is that a peyote growing up there? Reason for the name of the route?

[@mthudon]

Hey Dude! Good work replacing those bolts!

[@tylerkarow]

Cheers Mark! Hopefully see ya in the valley again next season!

[@steviesteve750]

Apart from the fact that flashing my loft is nigh impossible for me, if I did have the ability to do what you guys are doing, the engineer in me would not want to trust something I just hammered into the rock without verifying it somehow that didn't involve human live testing!

[@nareemhart8710]

Hey Crazy Climber people, Is that a thing? (10:44) Do people actually manufacture holds in big walls? I imagine that is taboo among you people in the climbing community , no?

[@MrDivagation]

I think it was just a joke, and he was putting in a bolt, but that kind of stuff is also taboo... If you can't climb a wall with your hands, you just don't...

[@andrewmitchell5807]

Taboo for free climbing big time, not really on aid routes, as long as you don't fuck with a free route

Smoking a doobie on the Dawn Wall, nice!

[@MrBrookeet]

awsome !!

[@DavidIancu]

Incredible video, incredible quality! Just my personal curiosity, how much weight did the leader carry? I saw about 30 friends, hooks, a hammer, pitons, probably nuts? I want to build a similar rack in the future, currently I have only a small rack (a set of friends and nuts, plus a hammer and some pitons) but I already feel that it weights a lot...

[@tylerkarow]

I have no idea how many pounds the rack was. Your estimate is about right, just add a few beaks and yes to the nuts. Check the rack recommendations on topos for what is needed on routes you're psyched to do.

[@stacky512a]

What brand of ladders?

[@markrussell.]

Is it OK to post "Oh Hell No" in every one of your videos?

[@liftclimbsquash]

"Are you free climbing? That's not allowed." 🤣😂 More like that's impossible unless you're Ondra, Caldwell or Jorgenson.

[@Tresazul3]

👏👏👏

[@gameloozer731]

‘Are you freeclimbing??? That’s not allowed’

[@SBG420]

these great walls are gonna be littered with spots to climb on, which is good and bad

[@moffatttt]

i dont know the first thing about climbing but i know i aint doing that, palms are sweating just watching

[@showyoukids]

can aid climbing damage the route?

[@aturboford1]

Don’t think there’s any nailing on any of the pitches shared with the Dawn Wall free.
