Did he just stuff the guidebook into his pants?

Holy hell...skyline and bears reach vids are incredible.  Great additions to this thread!  Both parties could greatly benefit from learning to jam, although they may want to ditch those expensive smart watches in order to do so...SMH.

I don’t think that’s their cam 

u may be right...that would explain him carrying up the rock atleast.

Yeah, you should carry a nut tool

Do they not own a nut tool? I dont climb trad but I know enough to see a bad placement when I see one. Why TF was the cam half outside the crack??

My guess is whoever placed it slotted it in, then the follower tried to pull it straight out through the constriction, getting it stuck.

Check out how he slings his hexes @ 8:40

That Almscliff video is seriously sketchy. Seems like the guy has a blindness for vertical cracks— he won’t see them when he needs handholds, footholds, or gear! I found myself yelling at the screen from pretty much the very beginning: “Put your hand in the crack! For god’s sake, put your foot in the crack!! Put that nut IN THE CRACK that’s IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE!” Plus he seems pretty shaky even when he’s standing on big ledges. Hard to tell the steepness with the GoPro.

It's got it all:
- Bad editing (fast forwards, slow-mos)
- Bad belaying
- Trying to get a stuck cam out with a rock he has in his pocket
- GoPro taking a plunge
- On top of all that, he cuts out him leading the second pitch of Bear's Reach

Is it just me or does he sound absolutely gassed after following 5.7? I’m not hard sender or in shape for that matter but 5.7 climbing doesn’t exactly get me huffing that hard....must be all that fast forwarding

Or the rocks in his pockets for getting out stuck cams

That’s certainly one way to do it.

DMM should really come up with some sort of extendable sling for the Torque Nuts so you don't have to climb with an 18" sling/draw combo hanging from your harness.

I feel like this counts.

Just jam already!

That's actually impressive as hell. I mean, yeah the technique it whack. But no way I could elevator-door my way up that.

how to make a 5.6 hand jam 5.13. As demonstarted by european comp climbers.

Lol.  Yet she has the sense to at least try to foot jam...but she’s wearing Magos so it probably hurts like hell.

Geez. I was yelling "JAM!!!" at my computer like a psychopath the whole video.

Anybody read the comments haha

Geez man that was brutal to watch. And that’s why diversity is key boys and girls. Be a jack of all trades before a master of one...won’t make you much cash but at least you don’t look like a fool on an easy problem

Seriously, watching those C3 placements was anxiety inducing. 

Why do folks in these videos never know how to place a nut, but always have micro-cams??
