So I was looking at the climbing photos that I posted and they really don't do a good job of showing what I'm doing, how high off the ground I am, or what the rock really looks like. To remedy this situation I have created a short time lapse video of my lead climb of "Sage".
Here are a few climbing terms defined so that if I use them you'll know what I'm talking about:
Bouldering is low climbing without ropes. It can be done alone, and does not require any certification or instruction. Top-roping is the most common type of climbing you’ll see in the gym, in which a climber goes up a fixed rope while their partner manages the rope (“belays” them). Lead climbing is a more advanced form, in which the climber brings their own rope along as they climb, clipping into the carabiners attached to the wall. Lead climbing requires advanced training, and allows access into the steepest parts of the wall where top-ropes cannot be attached.
The climbing you'll see in the video is me lead climbing a 6a/5.10a route. Here is a wiki article all about rock climbing if you want more info. :)
Here is the topo of the climbing area. "Sage" is route number two.
And without further adieu...
Cheers!

I like the variety of technology you're using. It shows you can still be creative while you're on the road. And the 360 views are great! -Sierra
Yeah having a few devices really opens up the options. Glad that you like the 360 views! 360 panoramas is an awesome app for the iPhone since it really let's the viewer step into the area being photographed. I recommend autostich if you are looking to make a flat panorama.
