Beat me too it. Kinda curious how it smells

[@TheTeknikFrik]

Really good POV! How is your camera mounted and angled? Is it the Hero session that is seen in some instagram posts?

[@AddisyB]

at the end of pitch two you are building a quad anchor on the bolts. At the start of this pitch it appears you have moved the anchor off of those bolts. I noticed one was spinning at the end of your last vid. is that why you moved the anchor? did you build a new anchor with gear or are there different bolts higher up? Thanks!

[@AddisyB]

nevermind. I watched 5 more seconds and it answered my question

[@Dashcam_cam_videos]

You are in Oregon. Love that area. I don’t trad climb yet.

[@conchosewing]

jesus... after that traverse, why place gear at all... might as well solo the whole line that got my palms sweating

[@somanayr]

Gear's to make sure you don't pull your partner off

I once had one crawl out of the tiniest crack ever and jump out right on my chest. For a moment it we were just staring at each other, both unsure what to make of the whole situation.. Then it gave a squeek and flew off. Then my heart starting beating again.

Dude... Daisy chain for anchor... :| Do we need to send you a PAS of some sort? :|

Good info though I didn't use do anything incorrectly. The belay was done off the master point so the daisy chain was only supporting my body weight. If I had clipped the daisy chain directly into the bolts or rigged the belay off the daisy, then that would have been a potential disaster.

[@ShallWeClimb]

@@FirstPersonBeta I'm glad you are keeping it safe! I have been using Petzl dual adjust connect for anchoring system, so far quite happy.
