Anchor retrieval question ...

Nine days after he left Mr Rhodes returns in different style. Fun. But i liked the Tradibavatar. 

Brian Webb wrote: Ok but this is a solo climb, and also how is the guys constantly retreiving ever piece of gear especially on a 10000ft climb with 60 meter rope, 60 meter rope is quite a bit of rope and I know for sure there is no way in hell you're gonna bring 2 miles worth of rope up a mountain lol that's not even possible ...

So I'm climbing up 3 pitch about to set my 4th anchor on the pitch so I can reppel down and clean my gear from the previous pitches but how do I get that final anchor back if there is no walk off?

Either you're the best troll, or really trying to figure something out. At the risk of being suckered, here's a straight answer.

You don't get that gear back. The next guy gets it and calls it booty. That's why it's smart to bring some bail gear (tricams are popular to leave behind) you don't mind losing. Then the next guy gets to take or leave some tricams.

You've never been to Mt Whitney, have you? People take two miles of rope up all the time. They use sherpas. That's why nobody believes you're really asking the question, because you don't know this.

Brian Webb wrote: I get that but you don't seem to understand I'm not talking about a fucking walk off! I understand it perfectly fine when there is a walk off but obviously if nobody knows then climbing just isn't advanced enough and it seems that some of the climbs are gonna cost some money if you have to leave gear and cams are so fucking expensive they're about 80-110$ each so clearly this is a rich kid sport which would explain everybodys ignorance and rude behavior lol!  Or maybe it's just bad parenting ... Didn't know AMGA had a gang lol but seriously most of you are just pricks "this isn't your sport" lol you probably couldn't hold your weight to get up the roof I can see your pudgy cheeks from here fat boy! lol I had no intention of talking shit back to you but honestly this is quite hilarious I'll be better than 90% of you once the virus is over in about a week and are you jealous or something because I know how to prepare my mind before battle this sport is not just physical it's mental too but most of you just seem to be mental and yeah keep quoting youtube untill you're lost in the woods or stuck on a cliff lol On a side note verbal judo is very entertaining so this hasn't been a complete waste of time ... Apology accepted oh yeah and thanks for the extra views on my youtube channel there is nothing better than free publicity and my views went up by 60 in one day but don't forget to like comment and subscribe!

Your question has been answered. Multiple times. Sometimes gear needs left behind. Most times not. On well traveled and established routes there are usually bolted anchors, or webbing and rings. Its like you want to discuss algebraic formulas but dont yet know what numbers are. 

No but honestly your solutions turn me away from climbing, I beleive there is a solution to not leave a single piece of gear behind but you idiots are not man enough to figure it out, I'm not gonna drop 400$ on every fucking climb because I am going to climb every fucking day so if you don't beleive this yourself, you're not a true climber, I've seen lots of videos of people getting their gear back on big climbs and not losing a penny otherwise this sport is a big waste of fucking money and should be left to the retarded fucking rich! ... enough said! ...

Nobody loses $400 on each climb. 

Do you know these climbing terms?
Leader
Follower
Pitch
Bolt
Anchor
Cleaning
Belay

The leader places gear and is belayed from below as they climb the first pitch. They make an anchor. The follower then climbs the pitch and is belayed from above and gets the gear or cleans the pitch. You kinda leap frog up. One pitch at a time. Re using the same gear for each One lead and one follow. This is simple day one shit. Or chapter 1 shit. Or a simple google search. Im sure there is a wikihow or quora articles on all of this shit. You dont know enough to know that YOU are the one being an asshole here.

There IS a solution! It is called the GearBank4000. I’ve refrained from telling anybody about this. I’ve even refused to post on this site since returning from my ordeal reviewing this piece of gear six months ago. But now is the time.

I reviewed this once for Fred Beckey, and it was the single piece of gear most responsible for all his first ascents. Putting up first ascents can be hard, and time consuming! This one-size-fits-all piece of gear is essential for all your gear-gobbling routes. Pay heed, young one.

I see that you’re a man of culture. Adept in the ways of transcendence and capable of feats of strength. I see greatness in you. When Fred (I call him Fred. It’s not a big deal) came to me with a proposal for this gear review, at first I was shocked that he would share his secrets with me. Me! I was a novice reviewer back then. A fledgling. A nude baby on the beach. I hadn’t yet achieved fame. But Fred saw something in me, and in turn I see something in you. I wish to pass you the torch.

But there’s a catch. The GearBank400 only works when one has achieved a Zen-like state of stupor. I knew I had to find a way to master body and mind, like you. But for me, it was different. I had to write the perfect review. It would be seven years until my trial was complete.

I went high on a mountaintop in the Himalayas, and I brought the GearBank4000 with me. It was five miles of ascending lots of hard pitches, and there would be no walking off. How did I get up there? Well, I had a bunch of $100 cams, and even a few $100 nuts. I brought my rope, which became useless when I reached the top of the climb. I tossed it to the wind.

I meditated for six, seven years. On year two, I realized the meaning of life. But on to better and more interesting things. How was I going to get down?

I wasted all my money on those $100 cams--$5000 in all. If only I had a 20% coupon for Backcountry or something, but alas, they are as rare as the scent of cherry blossoms on the breeze.

I continued my journey inward. Deep into my soul. I attained the warrior spirit. I communed with the marmot that ate my peanuts while I slept. Damn you, Ricky!

On year five, I learned to love the animal world. Soon I shared my peanuts with Ricky. We would each nibble on one end until we met in the middle. Then he would brutally scratch my face and steal the last morsel of peanut. I lost sight in one eye, but gained a friend.

I was getting tired. The scratches on my face were becoming infected. The cold was setting into my bones. Not even the GearBank4000 could save me anymore.

This is when the bank opened. It only comes to you when you’ve finally lost all hope. It cracked like the prudish coconut that had given me such trouble in Mexico. Finally. I looked inside.

And in the GearBank4000 was a piece of paper. What kind of paper you ask? It was a certificate of deposit in my name. You see, Fred had taken out a savings account, and it had matured nicely while on the top of that mountain, meditating. I had doubled my money, and that paid for the $5000 of cams I would have to leave behind.

I braided my beard into a new rope and tied it to a cam. Then I tied it to my nuts. Then I leapt into the void.

I did this, again and again, until I reached the base of the climb.

Though I left many cams on the route that day, I lost no money. In fact, I made a cool 20 bucks, factoring in the cams I left on the wall, the rope I flung from the top of the mountain, and the money I saved at the barber by cutting my own beard.

So, I must recommend that you find a sensible, reliable savings account. Start preparing now. Because climbing isn’t just about your physical or mental toughness. It’s also about your capacity to absorb tremendous, outlandish costs. These are the rules we live by. The warrior’s code.

Man I sent you a PM trying to give you a good answer because I felt bad for you!  No good deed goes unpunished I guess. 

You have absolutely zero idea what your question even is. You dont belong solo climbing anything. Stick to beating people up with karate and getting bailed out. Climbings not for you it involves critical thinking and problem solving skills. You lack both. A small amount of research on the internet would have answered your question. Instead you choose the lazy man route and ask someone to give you the answer.

The mountains are dangerous climbing is dangerous. Stay away your out of your depth.

But please keep raging at the trolls its fucking hilarious!
