Some REALLY strong climbers here, great footage. Some of these climbers are climbing even better and stronger over 12-13 years later. Crazy.

[@Rockclimber712]

dude just waching this makes my hands start to sweat.... makes me even MORE addicted to climbing

[@J0HNH0P]

from 3.17 onwards my mouse was drenched in sweat! brilliant video

[@agentwtf]

That flash at the end is out of control.

[@raccadiz]

[@amazonii]

i HAVE to know what this music is!!! i'm pretty stoked that the red is my home crag.

[@tomcox152]

@martinmedeski true, i just meant to put it in non-climbing terms

[@tomcox152]

[@Colestacks]

Just reading the top comments about getting sweaty hands from watching the video gives me sweaty hands...

[@veng3ance4]

yomattieT you don't need to be on any kind of team to get on these awesome routes. Everything is open and free at Red River Gorge. Just drive to kentucky, and climb!

[@petepiaire]

5.11b is relatively hard man , thats some nice climbing for someone who have a fear of heights , i know it im like you and can only climb 5.9

[@24Brooksie]

do you know where to find it? google isn't turning up much

[@yomattieT]

[@JakeMakesMedia]

Always hope to see someone at the chocolate factory when I go

[@JBarPlaysDrums]

[@mchgbh]

No climber but... man... that awesome. Impressive work and from 3:30 on gave me creeps... talking bout that: What song is it? It's simply fitting perfectly...

[@livetothemax961]

@robotsweat they're all talented

[@Castilhox]

hahaha my hands are veryyyyy sweaty

[@jamiechong]

nmonteith: what are you talking about? Sean was going for the flash. The spray was welcomed.

[@macroorchidism]

fun times

[@nilesriver2]

nice

[@tomcox152]

@JBarPlaysDrums its the us system of rating a climbs difficulty, its equivelent to a uk grade E10 (7a), or a french 8b+ or to a non climber, its stupidly stupidly difficult!

[@icunvn29]

sik~ vid~ props to the fullest'

[@barreldreamz7852]

Dude I never knew Daniel woods climbed anything other than boulders

[@petepiaire]

yeah i know it doesnt mean its high , but when its harder it just feel less confortable to go higher , cause it always feel like your gonna fall . And yeah , i was afraid of heights i liked climbing so much that i climbed dealing with it , and now its almost completely gone . And what does it mean are any of you climbers? When can you say your a climber? I just like climbing , regardless of my skills , and dont mind if people dont recognize me as a climber , as long as they leave me doing it

[@cwk1417]

hahahaha so I'm not the only one who gets sweaty hands

[@JakeMakesMedia]

😂

[@LaserrSharp]

this is pretty cool ... how much does it cost to start rock climbing?

[@JakeMakesMedia]

You can get a gym membership for like $40-50 a month and a starting pair of shoes for like $80...

[@johnraponkus2746]

you can buy your way up mt. everest if you like. they have ladders to climb on there. depends on what you call rock climbing. I walk up rock that would have these KZbin 'climbers' crying. but I am an old man.

[@johnraponkus2746]

nothing. just get off your ass, find a mountain n go. spending money on it is for para/ pseudo climbers.

[@TheSouthrunner]

sometimes grippy tape is wrapped around hands when climbing cracks and such. rubber kneepads too. and ive know climbers to tape the tips of their fingers with superglue, but honestly human skin, when its not sweaty, its grippy enough in itself. and i guess tradition and style come into play, but i dont think style and tradition are always top priorities for all sport climbers.

[@1138thz]

@tryandlike Nothing except a decent pair of shoes, a sit harness, a couple of locking biners, a belay/ rapel devise and some buds that are willing to show you the ropes. You'll build you rack and skills a little bit at a time. Stay safe.

[@SmokedTurkeyBird]

.....end of a long story. I was able to track down the artist and he emailed it to me. PM an emil address and I can forward it to you. Cheers.

[@clipmedia1]

haha! way to represent sean! canada rocks!!!

[@MUnickSIC]

you need to be on team petlz to be invited

[@Vinnygil]

Yea make sure that your strong first though lol its pretty much all overhanging. If you can get used to this place you will be a beast

[@offwithriss]

more at #0:17 lol

[@rokclimbing]

sweet video sean is a really good climbing (duh).

[@ClimbingAddictt]

that beta was vital

[@Pstoned]

i cringed when i read that, there are soooo many reasons why

[@naireland]

aurgh 5.11b is too much for me. Those vertical faces tear me apart

[@mickeybuddaboy]

..........r any of u climbers?...5.11 doesnt have any relativity to the height just how hard it is....but i also do doubt you can climb with being afraid of heights...

[@sarvelaj]

climbers need the sensitivity of human skin when climbing at extreme grades such as these. Gloves would do more harm than good once you are climbing anything higher than 5.10.

[@nmonteith]

The beta spouting was sickening on Thanatopsis. I wanted to yell 'shut the f up man!'

[@tyrone5643]

whoever that dude is who ruined the mccoll clip should be tarred and feathered. so annoying

[@jakeschmitz3650]

So much beta spraying. Really annoying

[@jakeschmitz3650]
