Climbing with a net ... ( 11 months ago by snowey101)

Climbing with a net instead of a rope is NOT soloing. Kinda contrived.
Nice climb though.

So, did you send? ... ( 11 months ago by ktoober)

So, did you send?
And, is the net tied to trees?

Very cool idea! ... ( 10 months ago by bixiecribs)

Very cool idea! Maddaloni is an expert rigger, as you will see from his blog. He has also authored guidebooks on DWS in Thailand, so it's understandable he is experimenting with new ways to climb without a tether.

Thanks for posting ... ( 10 months ago by mattmaddaloni)

Thanks for posting this video of me. Yes the net is tied to trees, rock anchors via cams and even some bolts from nearby sport routes. We used industrial strength bungee cord and a 30 foot salmon fishing net. I've climbed the route before with a rope but never did get it with the net, the crux took you over the rock ledge beside the net and at 5.13 it was too rich for my blood. So what you see in the video is an attempt at a harder sequence that kept us directly over the net.

If you want to solo, then solo...this (net solo) seems far too gear intensive and seems to miss the point and simplicity of soloing or dws

Fucking bad ass.... ... ( 9 months ago by joanne1017)

Fucking bad ass...... All tool bag YOU TUBE talkers dont have a clue how scary that root is. I saw Chris sharma fall just after the roof when he was warming up to climb dream cacher Its right next to that climb. Thats a sand bag 13a very hard that fall to the deck would be around 40 feet on big ass rocks. The first shot of him climbing when he steps out and grabs the flake your balls jump up in your ass rope or free solo or net that shit is scary.... great vid.

dont be stupid, always make sure your fully protected and tight to a rope!!!

It's not a " ... ( 6 months ago by fernando5821)

It's not a "Sandbagged" 13a. Like many of the 13's at Squamish, it's more like a high boulder problem with bolts. There is an intermediate sloper for your left hand at the roof, and THEN to the jug. The climb is then over. It's 13a. Get over it.

Maddaloni is one of ... ( 6 months ago by fernando5821)

Maddaloni is one of the biggest attention whores/rectal pores in the Squamish climbing community.

Wrong--it tops out. ... ( 6 months ago by joanne1017)

Wrong--it tops out. Dave Graham went to the top at the Petzl rock trip. OH and I can tell you're one of those guys that does not send the whole climb, then says that's not that hard. I remember some Frenchy saying as Chris was Red pointing Dream Catcher, Oh that's only around 14a lolol funny how he has the one ascent of Dream Catcher, and all the other 14s in Squamish besides Cobra have been lapped. You might need to get over it. Oh, wait a minute, you've only done part of the climb. lolol.

"The climb is over" ... ( 6 months ago by fernando5821)

"The climb is over" as in: there are no more difficulties to be encountered on the 5.10 slab finish to the top after the crux. Jesus, there really is no end of morons with poor reading comprehension skills these days. FYI, it's still 13a with that 5.10 slab finish to the top. Cunt.

This is not really ... ( 4 months ago by r1skate)

This is not really soloing. True he is climbing without a rope, but he has protection. Why not just use a rope? It's like when you top rope a line and don't pull the slack except to keep you off the ground. It's still top roping, just without a snug rope.

Hey matt, love your style ! bring it on. Would be awesome if you could show me some DWS on Squarmish sometime. I just got married in Lake Louise last week, and thinking of moving to Squamish. In the UK at the moment but i ll give you a shout when im over next.
