Tom Rose I use screw gate on Y anchors - as during rigging, you are adding ropes to them several times - leaving them unlocked until you have finished rigging. Also the Y anchors are usually won't have anything rubbing against the gates - as opposed to Carabiners on your harness, etc. Personally I like the Petzl screwgate with the visible red ring to show it is unlocked. All Carabiners on my harness (cows tails, lanyards, ID, etc) are Tri lock.

@@3204clivesinclair It's faster to use a tri lock than a screwgate so I don't follow your logic about adding ropes.

I was always taught that they should be short enough to reach the crab on the end when fully loaded. so it depends on how tall you are/ how long your arms are.

Mitchell Parkinson wondering the same thing

Did you happen to have any luck looking them up? Would love to find out what brand they came from

he mentioned above in the comments on their site for £20. i think thats what he was reffering to.

Thank you. I did not read the comments before asking. Thanks again.

Athos looks to be an adjustable lanyard with a piece of hose on it that he just uses as a foot loop

@@michaelalbro6856 Thank you. These fellas actually sell this item on their online shop.

Hi am looking in to doing ma rop axse hw much duz a cors cost i am opining my own biznes cuting trees daun

And hw much ar the back ups u tork about in the video

Jeff Chen No. It would be more like caving if anything, I'd say.

Hi Carl, we sell kit if you require. have a look at our website www.access-techniques.com cheers

A rig is like an ID for 10.5mm to 11.5mm rope, but does not have the anti-panic brake and will not lock if the rope is threaded incorrectly. It has a higher prevalence in rope access in the states and Europe, while the ID has more of a foothold here. The ID is also better for rescue.

Rig is better for people with experience. Id is good for beginners

I agree with Will, the I’d has a small rope grab in one end Incase you reeve it up backwards it wont send you to the ground and the rig is like a grigri on steroids with a locking position to hold you in one place without having to tie it off. Also the I’d has the panic catch that will lock it up if you over pull the lever and rig does not. Update: the new RIG released in 2018 has more safety features and a friction pad for the brake line that will last longer than the rolled sheet metal.

I 💓 my rig! :) If you were using a 1 rope system with no backup I would say for sure use an ID. But otherwise I don't see a single reason to use it over a rig. So for me it comes down to size and the rig is less bulky. I've used a Yates D4 Descender as well and I like it too. But it's heavy because it's steel, that should also be an advantage in the long run because it should last longer. The handle is also metal instead of plastic like Petzl so it's more durable but gets cold if you're working in cold weather. Also it's hard to explain without a demonstration but because the attachment hole for the biner is bigger it's possible by a complete fluke to cause the biner to come undone. Even if it's a tri-lock. Like I said that's going to take a fluke and your backup should still take care of things but it's a bit of a design flaw.

Lol nice

Typically industrial rope access people use steel carabiners - mainly because they are more durable and last longer than the lighter aluminium carabiners used in recreational rock climbing. The steel carabiners are also stronger - but given that even the lightest aluminium wiregate is rated to 24 kilonewtons of force (2.4 metric tons) the strength is less of an issue than the durability.

steel are used because aluminum, is quite soft and easily marred or damaged, ie climbing steel structures, you cant use a aluminum biner on steel structures unless you have a death wish. It has nothing to do with steel being rated for more weight, its simply the durabilty as you surmised.

As your an expert could you explain why techs have to use Ali biners when working in certain area's in refineries to help prevent sparks? Also can you tell us how quickly the Steel eyebolt with an Aluminium biner connected can cause a sufficient chemical reaction to make either fail? You must spend along time on ropes? Aren't planes made from Steel and Aluminium?

@@mikelatimer8439 You could throw a strap on the metal structure first and then use an aluminum if you really had to. It's just the metal on metal friction that's going to shave the biner down. I'm sure you already know this, I'm just pointing it out for people that are curious.

Steel on steel and alu on alu. Steel biners wear out aluminum ascenders and descenders. Read manual. Asap has list of approved biners. Also it's bad to use aluminum biner wigh steel lanyard

You have to understand these guys come from a very different place compared to rock/sport climbers. They have more in common with tree/cave climbing, and still are quite far from those too. For one, safety/comfort trumps weight. Extra super redundant equipment is standard for them. Just look at their videos, all systems have single rope technique combined with a second, indipendent rope, with a backup fall arrester. In rock climbing you can have double/twin ropes but that's a different technique. Here everything is backuped once or twice during transitions. Including the "single" rope. The cow tails rope is 4m of dynamic rope. In rock climbing a jammed knot and the need to cut a rope is a something major, here we're talking 4m of replaceable equipment. Anyway, they simply don't take 20-30 ft falls. The arrester on the backup rope would engage after 1-2 ft. Unless an operator screws up in a major way, the only possible scenario for a 30 ft fall is when the beam they're attached to falls from the ceiling, and that's in case of a major earthquake. This also means they have bigger problems in that scenario than a jammed overhand knot. Safety in their case also mean having a viable, solid, quick rescue plan at any time. They always rig with rescue in mind. In other type of climbing (and that's why this is called "access") weight is often a concern, for sure in rock/canyon/cave climbing. You can't rig everything doubled with already integrated progress capturing / lowering devices, that would require an absurd amount of equipment to carry with you. Safety also implies standard equipment, standard procedures. Like having extra equipment always ready for fast and safe deployment. That's why they have a dedicate, standard, chest ascender available at all times, a standard hand ascender with foot loop, standard descenders devices, ready. They don't mess with prusik loops, autoblocks, klemheists, VTs as ascenders or third hands. When working for a company, company policies dictate equipment and procedures. There's not such a thing as "I like my ATC guide, or my GRI GRI", "I use prefer a distel hitch over a VT". It's a very different mindset. That said, we can learn from each other, always.

Then your not just a moron, your a name dropping moron which is even worse, Petzl has one of the best reputations in the world over for work at height of any type. Thats why the whole world uses their shit day in day out. The Sala shit is just fine but if you think it safer than the Petlz your just a fucking moron and should keep your opinions to yourself.

Mike Latimer Dear Mike - your language and sentence structure speaks loudly of you education level. Kindly go back to college and get an polish it greatly.

Mike Latimer : There is absolutely NO reason to get NASTY, and start with the name calling, because someone else sees things just aa bit different than YOU. You just betrayed, and exposed yourself to be some what narrow minded, and extremely rude.

I like my singing rock harness don't like the petzl ones at all some of the equipment is nice but not that harness

Good to see professionals in this environment smh
