I'm going nuts trying to find this short funny film about a guy bringing multiple trad racks on this "epic" climb, placing gear after gear and still running out of gear! Then asking his belayer to give him more gear. You see the camera zoom out and the leader reaching down to his belayer, retrieving another trad rack.. He didn't get very far :)

Holy shit. There's sewing it up... and then there's that. About a 3rd of those placements were shit too.

That was humorous and mildly entertaining.

Yeah, I didn't think it was very funny since so many of the pieces were garbage. I get it is a joke and he is on some sort of 5.easy terrain but you could at least put in good stuff.

A question for the joke placements anyway: couldn't most all of those hex placements have been active, rather than passive? Thanks! OLH I must be a noob. I like hexes, even though I don't own any. Yet. :-)

I like hexes, even though I don't own any. Yet. :-) All the hex placements were in one of their two active positions. Passive is when it is length wise with the two hollow ends of the tube touching the rock. I encourage you to start up a new thread or ask on one of the existing hex threads if you have more questions. Hexes have their place in climbing.

The whole thing is worth watching, but the relevant part is at 1:10.
