Lonnie Kauk's video shows a real trad ascent, with gear clipped and placed on the lead in a single push.
Following question comes from someone whose favorite form of climbing is following long multi-pitch climbs, so it’s by no means criticism in any shape or form. I think both Katie’s and Lonnie’s ascents were remarkable, but since the “pure” tactic is so highly emphasized and celebrated here, can anyone explain the two clips at 3’13” and 4’27” in Lonnie’s video? Can’t see details, but the biners appeared to be already in place when he climbed up to them, no?

Olmstead Cyn was on my radar for a time, back in '71, but no one considered it worth the drive/walk among those with whom I climbed. It's a beauty spot, for sure. Really special places are one of the things I appreciate most about climbing.
Katie, don't let these guys make you feel you need do something you don't feel safe doing. (I know I'm preaching to the choir.)
Lonnie's just like his dad, a crazy-talented climber, period.
