Trad Climbing on The Spring - Pitch 1 at The Gunks, NY

The Spring? Where in the world is The Spring?
Turns out the Trapps doesn't end at Yellow Wall. Continue a bit further and you'll come to the Seasons Wall where you'll find "The Spring", "The Winter", "Boldville" and "Fillipina". Continue even further and you'll find yourself in Sleepy Hollow, where the classics list continues.

The yellow wall and beyond is my favorite part of the gunks. Remote and peaceful,even on weekends.

That second nut looked sooo perfect to a novice in trad as I am :D

[@origin32]

Did that feel a little stiff for a 9? Looked it! Nice work!

At 4:35 is that red tape and a red racking biner on a blue camelot? Why?

[@sethmonteleone8178]

As the video was fading it looked like you were trying to clip to the hanger? Why when you have all that other real estate, 2 sets of rings just clip to a ring, it is perfectly "ethical" and is not going to hurt them. Also how do you feel about tricams?

[@FirstPersonBeta]

My inclination to avoid clipping in to rings has definitely relaxed with time but if possible, I'll still try to clip draws (directionals) directly into the hangers. Reason being is it separates my gear (keeps the system clean). It also gets the draws further up relative to where I'm stationed and tied in. This was a carry over from when I would use a regular ATC and wanted space and a stringer to stack my rope.

So what do you think of tricams ?
