Trad Climbing on Tunnel Vision - Pitches 1 and 2: Red Rock Canyon

[@Amangions]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing! It is my dream to climb in places like yours and for me was a big pleasure to see the whole route with all pitches. But the placement of your protection points is extremely important, please pay attention to it as a lot of guys mentioned in the comments. Take care! and waiting for new videos!

Thank you for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the content! I am definitely still learning, which is what makes climbing so cool, always room to improve and grow!

Excellent cinematography. Truly.

those barely-body-weight placements on the second pitch ☠☠

[@michaeltillman77]

Ya that was his first trad lead, so placements could have been better. But second pitch was only 5.5 so we knew he would be fine

Twin rope technique on a trad route? Why did you choose this method of roping? Thanks in advance man! :)

[@michaeltillman77]

We had a party of 3 going up. So we used twin ropes so that the person leading could belay the 2nd and 3rd from the top at the same time. Makes for faster climbing when doing a party of 3 on a multi pitch. The lead climber would only be on belay one of the ropes but you would clip both ropes into each piece of pro so that it protects both your followers when they are coming up after you. Hope this helps! And let me know if you have more questions on the technique!
