This gal is an exceptional instructor.

One of the best video about climbing gear I have ever seen. Great explanation, really good camera shots, massive portion of knowledge. It's just complete, perfect. I hope for more episodes also about more advanced techniques - like self rescue or glacier travel.

Beautiful little moment at 15:28 where Alice starts to climb and immediately starts smiling. I'm sure most people watching this can appreciate it.

Hey there, what do you people think about placing a wallnut horizontal. Like if thereās a hole that gets thinner form inside to outside and I place the nut horizontal. I had a discussion about that and we didnāt find any information about that.

Always use an extended sling for a Camelot to prevent it from walking loose in the crack!!!
