Fun Update

I'm stoked so I thought I'd share it with my patrons.  One door closed and a really cool one opened.  I am going to Black Diamonds QA headquarters tomorrow at SLC and getting to interview the inventors of the Ultralight C4s.  I have tested a few ULs and normal C4s in the drop tower and it's good but not as good of an episode as getting to talk to people who really know literally everything about gear, since they designed it.  12 braid dyneema isn't found anywhere else in climbing.  There are dyneema slings of course, but not 12 braid dyneema uses.  We have soft shackles, slings, whoopies, etc in slacklining but not in climbing.  BD found a use for it and made the C4 cams 30% lighter.  It's rated and bomber, but it has an expiration date since it's made of a material that degrades with UV light and time.  I am trying to make episodes as full value as I can which is why fewer are being released but they end up being better and more worth watching.  I'm also only 8 of 14 chapters done with the Big Wall Bible written portion and each chapter takes as much time as a complex edit.  Once the written material is caught up on the website, I'll be able to make more video content.  I'm headed to Moab and Yosemite to get needed R&R but as you can see I'm still filming and getting good content which will make the next wave of videos I edit way better.  Thanks for the support!

I hope showing them I don't bite will lead to some sort of sponsorship. I want to show them a bunch of value while giving my audience more helpful information about the stuff I'm testing then I'll be able to hopefully be able to negotiate something.

Holy shit, Black Diamond sponsorship when? :D

Both! :)

SLC = Salt Lake City or spring-loaded cam? 🤯
