+firstpersonbeta just climbed this on saturday. Was laughing because i heard some guy say he was going to climb ants line, and I am 99% it was you who responded. Thanks for the beta, Bonnies Roof was awesome!

[@FirstPersonBeta]

Haha, yeap, pretty sure it was me! Glad you enjoyed the Route, Bonnies' is pretty sweet.

[@toddkreider6759]

Yay! Burp @ 15:25 and you set your first passive. I love your videos.

[@imxd9698]

This thing is real deal.

Cool video! I'm a fan of all the videos you have for the gunks. I do have a question for you.. What is your normal rack for these trips? Because I haven't really found any detailed racks for these trips, and I do wanna get out there sometime in the relative future.

[@FirstPersonBeta]

+Jason Fleck Sorry I'm just getting back to you on this. I guess I missed the question. You rarely find the long cracks that are common out west on the East coast (with the exception of some areas in the dacks and white mountains). Meaning in most cases you'll use a large variety of gear on a single climb. That doesn't mean that each area doesn't have a tendancy to use up a narrow range of gear. I carry at least doubles of everything between BD .4 and #2. In my experience .4 to .5, or in the case of metolius from a Yellow #2 to Red #4 tend to get used the most. Hope that helps you out if you haven't already started gearing up!

What was that pro under the roof?

[@nelsonianb1289]

Its a chord around a rock constriction. Not there anhmore

[@lostlazy]

Was this an on-sight or flash ? You nailed the crux so fast !

[@FirstPersonBeta]

Thanks Man. I think with 2 or 3 exceptions, every video on this channel is an onsight. That may change soon (hopefully not but the odds are against me).

Jose Manuel Munoz New York, USA, @ The Gunks.

[@rodrigoducati]

Do you by any chance have Bonnie’s roof direct on video?

[@FirstPersonBeta]

I don't believe so

[@KeithRoberts]

This is at Chica Bonita at the red, right?

[@FirstPersonBeta]

Negative, this is in the Gunks, which is outside New Paltz, NY

The way you clipped that biner at 10.01 was risky asf o_o
