Awesome climb and vid- such a cool first pitch w/ the arch. Wanted to see the screw recovery and top-out! Nice endurance- that looked like a burner!

[@sourlandhomemovies222]

I should have left the screw recovery in. Its mildly-interesting in that I backed up my stubby with a tool and jugged back up. Ran out of battery for the finishing mini pitch 🤷‍♀️

[@Bigmountainsandbackwoods]

Totally interesting on the anchor set-up, and I was wondering when you were going to set up the belay. Yep the battery issue w/ the cold is a bummer- my GoPro batteries are aging and they don't hold a charge as they did when new. Deft need to get an insta 360- looks like thats what you're filming with. Cheers, and keep the vids coming. @@sourlandhomemovies222

Wow the frozen waterfall is rad. Nice raw footage

[@thereturningboomerang]

Good... but the ending though!

[@sourlandhomemovies222]

Lmao! Glad someone noticed haha

EPIC

[@britishgal1808-Sue]

Terrific video, what happened to the ending 😩 lol

[@metacum]

Great effort! That WI5-pitch seemed to stretch out, and dropping a qd sure doesn't help 😅

[@curvenut]

on pith 3, why no screw for so long on the first part of the pitch is it s slab or vetical, seems dangerous to me with no screw for so long

[@sourlandhomemovies222]

I knew I wanted to climb the right side of the flow and didn't want to create a zig-zag so I just ran it out, but I should have put a piece in for my follower.

[@TaylorBurke4]

how long was the rope?

[@sourlandhomemovies222]

60m. Gotta bump up the belay to the base of the long steep section to make it. There are bolts at the bottom left, but the guide book beta was worded funny and the ice near the bolts was dripping so it wasn’t clear that I should do that nor was it enticing 😅 19:05 ish

[@jimmarshall9945]

I have to say good climbing…..but pretty poor tactics….BUT a good get out.👍

[@curvenut]

@@jimmarshall9945 why poor tactic
