First Person Rock Climbing: "Tulgey Wood" (Pitch 1), (5.10a), Devils Tower, Wyoming

A fun corner with a tricky stemming/liebacking sequence at the top. Another uber classic line at the tower.

First, you have excellent stamina! No way I could I have held those positions on the rock for as long as you did while calmly plugging gear. Second, that's a 10a??? Looked way more difficult than that in the second half. The Devil's got high standards for sure. Good job keeping your head and getting the 'scend.

Thanks! Haha, I think it looks a bit steeper than it is in the video, its a bit slabby so you can really trust the feet and try to relax. I will say that this route felt pretty sandbagged to me compared to other .10s on the tower. And the second pitch is a 140' fist crack that is SOOO brutal. The Tower will show you how real 5.9 feels haha.

That next pitch looks amazing😮

[@bradfordLburns]

It's absolutely henious. Hardest 5.9 you will get on. Its like 140' of hard ass wide fists with no feet on the outside of the crack. It's a blast but an absolute ass kicker.

14:57 i said the exact same thing out loud right before you lol. nice work man

[@bradfordLburns]

Haha, yeah my pet peve is stoppers coming out like that, especially when you kindof lose your balance a bit when you pull down and they pop. 0/10 experience with that nut.

[@albertlutton9920]

Nice lead! Good use of stoppers.
