Watch Will Mayo Send a Laser 5.12 Crack in the Creek

Will Mayo is one of North America’s top all-round climbers in that he send 5.13 cracks, cranks new run-out M12 winter routes and runs up hard alpine lines.

In this video, Mayo sends Crankcase 5.12+ in Indian Creek. After the send, he said, “Last week I saw an American Alpine Club T-shirt at the crag with the slogan ‘Check Yo Self,’ advocating for checking one’s knot and it got me thinking.”

Mayo went on, “The Urban Dictionary defines the phrase ‘Check Yo Self’ as ‘To reevaluate your actions after realizing that your current course of action is likely to lead you into a troublesome situation.'”

“Let’s all double-check our actions and decisions and do our best to stay safe and make sound choices out there, which is not always easy.

“I think this idea is of the utmost relevance for climbing, as well as life in general, as is often the case, and it’s cool to see the AAC promoting it.”

So enjoy the splitter send and be sure to double check yours and your partners safeties this weekend.
