I found myself at the Northside of Looking Glass with only a few routes dry and no partner. I decided to go for a onsight lead rope solo of the Seal (5.10a). Watch to the end to see how it goes.

Great video and a very nice send! I really appreciate the monologue and also how calm you are. I've done a little LRS, and I find myself very easily flustered by how complex it is compared to regular leading. This was super helpful and very inspiring!

Hey I really appreciate it. I was worried the monologue was too bland. I still get freaked out LRS sometimes. If you’re interested I have another video that explains my system better. And I’m planning a follow up “how I LRS” video to answer common questions.

@@PitsToPeaks Seriously, don't be worried about the monologue. It's not only educational, but also shows the mindset you need to be in to tackle these projects. Captivating - keep at it!

Nice live comment ! Not used to cracky granite, but looks quite sustainably 5.10ish/6b to me ! Congrats for the send 👍

It is very atypical to have so much cracky granite condensed in one place for the southeast. The north side of looking glass seems to be the one exception.

A few years back I pulled out a microwave size piece of granite from the top part of the climb and almost killed my mentor belaying me below. Happy to see it still sends nice and clean haha! ⚡

I wish I could say it was my idea. I may have also called it a clove hitch at some point by mistake.

4:16 obviously not a clove for the suspension of the lead rope weight. A slip knot. Much better 😅. I love how you describe what you do. Very informative!!!

Nice job! That’s a good one. Would love to see if you end up aiding the third pitch. I think it’s called the green gully or something like that.

Also I think your grigri is clipped “normal”? Not upside down? Not held upright? Have you tried upside down? I think it is only better, no disadvantage…

Yann Camus thank you. I plan on trying upside down soon. I didn’t want to change to many things at once. I have adjusted some aspects of the system recently.
