The Worst Climbing Mistakes I've Ever Made (so you can avoid them)

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:43An ice axe damages Kane's top rope; he demonstrates isolating the damaged section with an alpine butterfly knot.
4:21A wrongly sized cam pulls out on Castleton Tower, leaving Kane temporarily without that protection.
11:21An unzipped haul pack sends a heavy water bottle falling from a hanging belay.
15:07Linking pitches creates severe rope drag and forces a change of plan for Kane and his partner.
27:52A simul-rappelling communication failure nearly pulls Vivian off a ledge; Kane explains his subsequent checking protocol at 31:18.

Noah Kane sits in the forest with a laptop, reopening eight years of climbing footage for something other than the highlights. "As climbers, it is inevitable that we will make mistakes," he says. The point of this week's upload is what happens after you admit them.

"The Worst Climbing Mistakes I've Ever Made (so you can avoid them)" has reached roughly 71,000 views. It moves from an ice axe striking his rope at Louise Falls to badly sized protection on Castleton Tower, a dropped water bottle and the exhausting consequences of linking pitches until rope drag becomes overwhelming. The video includes a sponsored apparel segment.

The final mistake is the one Kane considers most serious. While simul-rappelling with Vivian, he releases his stopper knot and unweights the system without confirming that she is ready. The sudden slack nearly pulls her off a ledge. He explains the verbal countdown and visual confirmation he adopted afterward, making communication, rather than a spectacular climbing move, the lesson that closes the video.

Viewers are discussing the falling bottle as a reminder about helmets, questioning simul-rappelling and sharing their own checking routines. One also describes struggling to forgive a minor mistake, picking up on Kane's opening invitation to learn rather than simply blame yourself.

Elsewhere on the channel, small equipment is doing substantial work. "Testing the world's smallest cam" is currently its busiest video, while June's "POV you bought your climbing gear on Temu" continues drawing far more daily views than the new retrospective.

Kane added about a thousand subscribers over the week, and daily viewing is running above his usual level. Among nearby outdoors channels, Vanwives had a particularly strong week of subscriber growth, while Farmhouse on Boone's daily viewing stayed close to its routine. For Kane, the new contribution is less about another summit than a candid look at the decisions between the holds.
