Re: Sunlight Peak Summit Block
Sorry, I am an idiot. See that and it is a very cool job to have both videos synced so you are seeing each perspective at the same time.WVMountaineer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 4:32 pmWhich is exactly what the sub-video in the top right corner is that comes in around 20 seconds... I understand the issue with GoPros and I agree. This just shows both perspectives at the same time. People are always posting on here about the summit block moves so I'm just trying to add a data point to be helpful.randalmartin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 4:21 pm Video is better taken by someone else standing back from climber.

Re: Sunlight Peak Summit Block
Well after climbing Windom and Sunlight peaks, my partner and I spent a lot of time lost on those cliffs trying to get to the bottom pitch of the spire so eventually when we did make it there we opted out of the climb. We both recognized we didn't do enough research into the climb and just went for it and it didn't work out.
Next time we will be more prepared.
