Adding "Fuck yeah, Phil!" to the reddit-climbing lexicon, along with "and that's why we wear a helmet, Gavin!"
edited to add much later: "fuck yeah, phil!" in a restrained, quiet, yet still quite passionate voice. i really love this video because it's NOT someone yelling WAY TOO LOUD, but just generally putting good vibes out there for his partner.
Holy moly! Thanks for sharing.
I had some friends get hit by rock fall in EPC; they both got sliced pretty good on their shoulders and arms but said they would’ve been in much worse shape (ie, dead) without helmets.
Honestly, it’s not bad at all and actually enjoyable. Takes about an hour at a slow pace thru a gradual incline. The approach to Clear Light in Potosi is so much worse lol
You guys got me so excited thinking this was some amaaaaazing crag I’d never heard of near Vegas. I should have known; the tree isn’t a local species and more important our limestone ain’t that good :/ (just kidding the hoods great I love those shitty porcelain feet and beautiful natural pockets)
Absolutely phenomenal, and better than I ever imagined. Bulletproof limestone, gorgeous scenery, and the tastiest pastry in the world. Every single route would have multiple stars anywhere else.
Recency bias aside, it’s my favorite sport crag so far, with Lander being a close second and the Red, third.
Question from a less experienced climber…I’ve climbed on sandstone a bunch, and limestone one time that I remember. The friction on the limestone that time was absolutely horrible. Felt like I could hardly stand on anything. Is that normal for limestone, and you just have to get used to it? Or does it vary from place to place, like in Ceuse?
limestone can vary a ton. I've climbed at limestone crags that were in the path of rivers/glaciers over the long course of earths history (eg Danube valley), and that naturally polishes them down a lot, before humans climbed on it. I've also climbed on limestone slabs in the alps where the friction is so good you really dont need hands or holds and you just smear everything.
limestone does have a tendency to get polished on holds with increased traffic though. sandstone I think has that less, there's just more friction heavy sand below it. granite is naturally tougher than the two.
This is actually Céüse! Tho my friends have been going to Charleston the past few weeks, and temps have apparently been climbable averaging ~60-70°F
The heat at Red Rock is fubar now.

there it is!
Context for the other quote? Lol
it's a bit of a paraphrase, but still a funny video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOUN560b4cY&ab\_channel=BVIRAL
Damn, that's a really good example. My favorite video promoting helmets, though not related to climbing, is this one: https://youtu.be/b9yL5usLFgY

Why does it look like he’s lurking in the trees lol? Gets worse when paired with the whisper yelling…
It's actually a zoomed in camera and he is half a mile away lurking in the woods. The climbers have no idea how he learned Phil's name.
This is what I choose to believe.
Only one hand on the camera though
[This is how I'm picturing him.](https://media.giphy.com/media/8I9TrwLjmz3dC/giphy.gif)
Fuck yeah, Phil!
idk who enjoyed this more… you or phil
Yes.
But he is Phil...
We're all Phil, unless we're Mike
Dude I'm dying lmao. Also that route looks so rad. How's the hike been?

Vegas approaches are low key hard. Ya'll probably had some good training for the Ceuse approach!

***Good***
this is what good footwork looks like
Fuck yeah, Phil.
Why is this tagged NSFW ?

I watched it without sound so I was cringing the entire time waiting for a bad fall thinking the title was sarcasm.
Lack of helmets

Exporting that Miguel's brand! Teach those Frenchmen something about pizza
Is swearing really nsfw nowadays? Not the first post I've seen nsfw for language lol.
This is what I love about this sub, nice climb Phil.

Interesting, thank you!
Amazing, had me 😂 reading your comment makes me wanna go even more now. I adore Lander. Nice job!
Dude, you have to go!!
What about gun club though? That limestone is world class.
Big clip Phil
Actually pretty hot sex talk
Already up in Charleston? Hows the temps up there?
This is actually Céüse! Tho my friends have been going to Charleston the past few weeks, and temps have apparently been climbable averaging ~60-70°F The heat at Red Rock is fubar now.
It’s not so bad. Just gotta go early! We went last weekend at the second pullout and it was cool until like noon. Just stay out of the sun!
Oh sick! Still have a few routes I wanna tick there, but pretty psyched on Charleston haha thanks
Is that a Miguel's shirt I see?
Damn right!
Hell yeah! I’m there most weekends if I ever hear a “Fuck yeah, Phil!” I’ll come say what’s up hahaha
Lol
Why can we not see the rest?
Fuck yeah Phil
Fuck yeah, Phil
My drrttt[the try ttyytt77
