↳ Crimson Dawn is tattooed on her skin, but the marks run even deeper, and there are darker things in the underworld than Dryden Vos. In the end, this has always been her only choice, made for her by a clear glass door and a hopeless promise.

This rock climbing is actually a completely impossible task for a novice. I don't know how to do each move. It's an unknown thing. Rock climbing is about conquering yourself, challenging yourself, and conquering this rock wall. { exploring the unknown with wang yibo episode 9/10 }

I know this is literally just for narrative tension and comedy respectively. But I'm once more being confronted with the fact that Kenji's rope setup on his climbing course doesn't make sense. In regards to when/how it catches slack.

When Darius first slips he slides a significant distance. Enough it is legitimately scary.

But when Kenji throws Darius he loses no height at all.

This variance in tension doesn't make a lot of sense for a self belay system if it's taking up the slack as you climb like this seems to be?

Now I've only done climbing with a belaying partner where they take up slack manually, not top rope soloing like this. But every time I think about this for too long I lose it a little. Like either it should lower gently if it was an auto belay, or it should catch you full stop as it takes up the tension, but it shouldn't be doing both?

The fact that Kenji doesn't explain to Darius how to get down always drives me a bit crazy too but I'm not gonna get into that.

HEY CRACKED. YOSEMITE IS MORE THAN ONE SPOT.

It is correct that there are cables on the side of Half Dome. Half Dome is one (1) place to ascend a wall among many dozens in the park. And Kirk wasn't meant to be climbing Half Dome! He was meant to be climbing El Capitan, one of the most challenging wall cimbs in the world:

Also, what hikers are doing on Half Dome IS NOT MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. It's hiking with some extra difficulty. I should add that ZERO casual tourists on a day trip are climbing those cables. For one thing there's a lottery for permits. For another, it's a very strenuous like 8 hour hike to get TO the cables, let alone up and back down.

Climbers flock to El Cap because of its difficulty. In the documentary "Free Solo," climber Alex Honnold climbed El Cap without harnesses or ropes (aka free solo) which had never been done before.

Incidentally, Alex was asked to evaluate mountain climbing scenes in movies and he gave the Kirk climbing scene in STV pretty high marks for realism.

You should watch the clip, it's amazing. Honnold is so deadpan and hilarious.
