Doug, with gear and online trainings being so accessible, do you see newbies making mistakes or not taking long enough to learn before moving on to harder stuff (climbing in a gym to sport climbing to leading to trad)

I'm blown away by the new Parkour-style dynamics. The moves of climbing keep evolving, and parkour-style is just the latest trend. I watch new comp videos to learn them. The upward lunges, all four limbs off the rock, are obvious clickbait. But I am drawn to the quick, often horizontal sequences that are only possible dynamically. You need to move through them quickly. It's the latest way that climbing imitates dance!@@alefaria

The footage of Croft soloing at the end is the single most influential thing in my young life. And yes, I was the guy who went out and free soloed after watching Croft solo all those pitches. Fortunately it worked out ok for me. But, I followed Croft's advice! I love this video. So many awesome segments and the narration is instant nostalgia for me. Love to see this uploaded officially.

Warning: name dropping ahead😅 I got a chance to climb with Peter the Great in Leavenworth before he got famous. Still my all time hero of climbing. He has had more fun than all the rest of us put together👍 I climbed at Smith with Bobbi and Stefan about the time of this film, and belayed Lynn on her onsight ascent of "Churning In the Wake", the first 5.13 onsight by a woman. It was my first 5.13, after a.lot.of work. Great time capsule, im glad and lucky to be climbing better than ever decades later.

I think the whole package for me has been so helpful and moving. Watching the film itself was profound, as well as the interview with the two of you afterwards. I dont know how i came across the masters of the stone videos, but what i do know is that when i did, it changed me. I was expecting to see a bunch of old school climbers just flapping away pathetically. I never understood, nor thought about how climbing came to be what it is now until i watched those videos. Upon simply seeing these men and women interact with rock was almost a religious experience. I saw the care they gace in every foot placement, the confidence they had long fostered in themselves to climb through bold runouts, and the shear solidness that they moved through even the most shaky terrain. Learning the names, the faces, the dates, the routes, the places, the stories, and seeing it all, like how you captured it in your movie, brought to life all the history that i never thought to explore or learn about. It makes me appreciate and respect climbing at a different level. I feel a sense of community with these people every time i climb. They all give me a feeling of being mentored in a way that i didnt know was possible. I am forever in debt to each and every one of them for the routes they established, the ethic in which they did it, the time they dedicated to the art of climbing, and to the people who saw the importance of what they were doing and decided to capture it to share it with the rest of the world. It has preserved a taste, a memory, a feeling of what climbing is, has been, will be, and can always be at any time. Thank you for making your movie. It has inspired me. I know it will continue to inspire all those who watch it for generations to come.

@dougrobinson4221
Жыл бұрын
I recall hardly any difficult clients. Maybe a couple of surgeons. Seems to take a lot of ego to be one... Fearful, though -- oh yeah! Fear of heights is ALMOST universal. The very few clients without it were the ones who worried me the most. I found myself following around behind them spotting ruthlessly. Please see my response to "@FrostyBalls01 9 days ago" for some general background. What I did to talk to clients about fear of heights is to model it out of my own experience. Speak from your own experience, of course. Here's how I would say it: "I've climbed the face of Half Dome. But if I go to the summit, the only way I can look over the edge is to get down on my belly and put just my eyes over the edge. Usually with a solid foot jam behind me. That void has power. It sucks!" "Yet to start at the bottom of the wall, tie in and begin leading, clipping into pro, you build up your rational defense against the void. You know from deep experience that the rope will hold you. And the pro will anchor the rope. And your trusty belayer can easily stop any slip. It's a system. Proven to be safer than driving on the freeway. We trust it deeply." Another part of making our whole protection system feel reasonable to climbing students is to take enough time to talk about the rope. Where did it come from in climbing history? Now we have other uses for hemp (wink). Notice that the modern climbing rope is actually THE most high-tech gear we use. Way beyond, say, cams. It's strong, sure. You could hang a pickup truck from one. But the real high tech value of it is its stretch. The US Army researched parachute harnesses and found that forces needed to stay under 2000 pounds (explain that number's relationship to Kn's) or there would start to be injuries to kidneys and backs. Modern climbing ropes stretch so much they do keep ultimate forces below that threshold. Etc, etc.

Ive never climbed but am an avid outdoorsman. Love the content. Watch it just because its amazing to see the feats you do and which were started by people like Doug. Its amazing to see him in that video and thinking how they got those shots with the technology available. Does Doug still do any climbing? I assume he is still involved with climbing via groups, etc. Regarding mentorship, I feel like that has been such a recurring theme in my life lately. A client of mine recently discussed the same thing during a lunch meeting. Having a mentor to not only teach you but to discuss and bounch ideas off of.. I wonder if there is anything climbing wise that Doug still desires or wants to achieve?

Ran into him a few times over the years in the Winds, Yosemite, and Oklahoma when he was guiding and teaching rock climbing. Learned so much from him and Royal we didn't need a guide!

I was glued to this video, and love the combination of climbing and filming challenges involved in making a high quality film at the time - that can never be reproduced. Doug, I’m left with few questions because, as your video points out, climbing is about the experience, and any questions will be learned on the rock. Learning on the rock is the way to go, and having fun is key. I just wish there were more ways to connect with the climbing legends that are still around. There are so many stories that I would love to hear about. These videos make it possible, and document those stories for future generations. While it would be amazing to meet Doug and other climbing legends in person, thats probably not feasible on a large scale. More content like this is much appreciated!!

In traversing/wandering climbs, using two half-ropes helps you protect against a large swing, you'll effectively fall between the two bolts on either side of you. Its more common in trad climbing than sport.

OK, I do have a question. I’m nearly 65 years old, live in Santa Cruz, CA, and didn’t find climbing until age 56. I have climbed behind and learned a tremendous amount from outstanding AMGA/IFMGA GUIDES (I’ve followed maybe 120 pitches of easy-moderate trad at Lovers Leap, Red Rock, the Eastern Sierra, Tahquitz, Joshua Tree, North Cascades, and even some ice in Lee Vining and Hyalite). My now 31 year old son then fell in love with climbing and serves, along with another wonderful younger partner, as a rope gun for me. My question: How can I best balance injury avoidance and the ability to climb very moderately through my sixties and into my seventies? I don’t feel the need to climb harder than maybe 5.8, but I’d like to enjoy it as long as possible. Any thoughts or references would be much appreciated.

I just turned 50 as a life long sportsman (and climber). Did loads of research on the aging athlete. Suggest you read from Joe Friel - Fast After 50 (its based on cycling but is relevant to all aging athletes) and Peter Attia - Outlive. Eric Horst was recently on The Lattice Podcast giving advice on the aging climber. Worth a listen.

Hi Walt. I lived in the Cruz for 25 years raising my kids. Too bad we didn't meet. I left 11 years ago and am back in Bishop where I belong. I go out most days (except when it's ski time -- another passion). I just turned 78. I climb very easy, especially to warm up. Start out just scrambling. Fourth Class can be cool and fun -- it keeps you moving. Gradually go harder, but don't push it to strain anything. Sometimes when I'm not yet strong enough to repeat a move, I do pullups on the opening holds, especially when they're overhanging. Get stronger, but don't be in a rush. Enjoy the process,. It's all movement!
