Cleaning A Trad Route, 4K. How I get my gear.

Subbed to your channel this week. Watched a bunch of your videos. Absolutely loving the format. Keep it up! Reminds me of FirstPersonBeta's channel.

Hey thanks for the Sub. It’s been exciting to make these videos. Putting your new trad climbing mistakes online for everyone to see is anxious sometimes. Lol. But I’m glad people are liking it!

How to clean an anchor: "you can take me off belay" The whole point of cleaning a sport anchor like this is to never come off belay. You only do that if you are rappelling. There is plenty of content about this online already from people qualified to give it. How long have you been climbing? NC has had deaths due to this. Stick to the climbing footy, Ship Rock is an amazing crag.

Hey. Thanks for the review. I’ve been climbing for a little over a year. It’s clear from my videos as you can see. This video isn’t meant to be a lesson for the general. This isn’t why I didn’t title it as a How To video. It’s more for my local friends who ask how I get my gear back. Good communication is key for sure. My belayer knew I didn’t need to be off belay but rather to give slack. I will agree with you in part. But this would not lead to a death. As before I came off my personal he had taken in the slack and confirmed it.

@@NCTradLines I think he was concerned with you saying take me off belay in a situation where you don't really need to be taken off. What if your belayer didn't know that you meant slack when you said take me off belay (ie a new belayer or partner you haven't climbed with before)? I know you're connected with your pas but it's still a situation where you don't need to be taken off. Not arguing or anything. Everyone has their way of doing things and I'm cool with that

@@climbingbrosNC ​​⁠no. I agree with both of you. But, the only issue with saying take me off belay is that it’s inefficient, yeah? Of course, before coming off my personal I would confirm that I was back on belay and ready to lower. He never took me off belay by the way but even if he did. There would have been nothing wrong with him doing so. Except for the 15 sec it takes for him to load me back up. Honestly, me saying this is a word whisker. I climb a lot of multi pitch and am used to building anchors and not needing to be on belay. Maybe next time I’ll just edit out my mistake before I post. 😝 everyone would be much happier. You get it climbing bros. I’m sure there are plenty of things people comment on with your videos? We can all improve with our comms and climbing beta. Whether we been climbing for a year or a decade or more.

Surprised no one makes a big deal with me saying at 3:15 “all I’ve got to do is, come climb down” when obviously I am not climbing. 😂

[@climbingbrosNC]

@@NCTradLines oh yeah for sure. Always that one guy who climbed in the 80s with just nuts saying how much cooler he is than the rest of us 😎
