My dream forum is here never a bad time to let this dude’s stuff resurface: https://youtu.be/trR5LcG5bFU https://youtu.be/obhTD42JJK0 Also always a gem: |

The cringe is strong with these ones. Seriously, you have to wonder what goes through their heads when they upload these videos. They must have no shame at all. They're like the Tommy Wiseaus of YouTube climbing videos. |
|
Cringed the entire time he walked that undercammed #3 up in that first Gingerbread one. |
|
How is this even possible? My 10 year old kid plugs gear 100x faster than the guy in the first couple videos. Unbelievable. |
|
the process of extending that first #2 on the roadside attraction climb was very painful, indeed. |
|
Its hard to really describe everything I'm feeling after watching those. Mostly anger w. a bit of confusion |
|
After watching that second video I'm beginning to think these videos are a joke. They must have a YouTube channel and are just looking for hits. Why else would you upload these to the net?!? If they aren't jokes, it's scary that people like this actually climb outside! |
|
And here I thought that the American Death Triangle couldn't be improved.. How about that anchor construction on the second one at 20:49? Hopefully a joke. Hopefully.  |
|
Does anybody have a link to that video where the guy finishes the climb, walks around for a full minute at the top of the cliff, passing multiple large trees while looking for a spot to build a belay, and then inexplicably begins downclimbing and falls? |
|
These videos are almost an art in someway. I’m thinking of hosting viewing parties where we drink for every missed handjam or any setup that would make you immediately fail an AMGA cert but I think save my organs the suffering. |

...and put on a shirt. It's a public forum. |

He sure is a bad ass while on the ground. Off the ground I think the fear fully takes over. Watch him on toprope! “KEEP ME TIGHT BRO!” Count how many times. |

Please sell your gear cheap and never climb again! |

bkozak wrote: Oh my god! What a shitshow! What on Earth would possess a beginner climber to climb that chosspile? It looks like really low quality limestone, which is shit for pro to begin with. Was I imagining things, or was he basically placing his cams passively?! It didn’t seem like he cammed them at all. That poor woman seemed to be really upset that he decked, but it didn’t look like her fault...he was way above his first piece and I doubt it would’ve held. Anyone who does something that stupid and says “I’m glad we caught that on video!” deserves a Darwin Award... |
Ted Pinson wrote: I think he gets the cam in an okay placement, but when he decks, his belayer doesn't have any hand on the brake strand. Pretty sure she just dropped him. He even acknowledges that in the description, which is pretty hilarious to read. |
