For those wondering about the background on the last clip, im the idiot in the video. This was a few years ago, and I was extremely new, and dumb. The area I was in has horrible bolts, graffiti and litter everywhere. The face is about 30 feet tall. I haven't gone back to this area since, and I'm doing alot better now, I climb with friends now, have learned A LOT since then, still learningmore every day. I just need to wear my helmet more 😁

The guy who was chipping the holds is from Chattanooga (where I am from) he cheated on his gf and she leaked the video. He deleted his Instagram and should be scared to head to a Boulder field again

"if you can't tie a knot, tie a lot" 😂😂

When it comes to first aid don't believe people when they say "I'm good" dude wasn't even done smacking his skull into the rocks before he started reassuring everyone

guy chipping the route is the most heinous we've seen so far

Chippy needs his climbing license revoked

I heard the stache immediately increases your skill by 2 french grades

In the clip where the guy fell on the branch, thats ethan pringle on Empath, a 5.15 put up last year, so it hasnt been climbed much.

You need to record yourself going to the crag in the outfit and giving out tickets for not wearing helmets 😂🤣

The flashlight on the screen killed me!! 😂😂😂

at 9:01 guy's rope obviously wants to go left, he's trying to force right, gravity wins and brings him to the left, when rope slides over edge there's now slack which leads to a fall disorienting climber and slamming him into the wall on the left. guys, go the direction the rope wants you to go, don't try to rappel around corners where your rope can slip off to the side and make you fall. EDIT: in summary, MAKE SURE YOU minimize length of rope between anchor and edge before rappelling so that you aren't creating a potential fall if it slips around the corner of the cliff edge.

Back in the day, mid 70s I took a very short, a few feet, fall without a helmet. I spent two weeks in the hospital with a fractured skull. It was like a 12 day hangover. I did learn from that experience. Please just wear your helmet. Good video thanks.

OMG the climbing police character with stash and glasses is perfect 👌 and the cherry on top is your head-hat 😆 lol

Bless you Beta Boy! Favourite climbing channel on the interwebs!

Hi, I have recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it! I used to climb minor British rock when I was younger, and always wore a helmet. In fact my helmet got a big dent in it one day, but my skull didn't - I rest my case!

Hey Josh, I'm just getting back into climbing as an adult, thanks for showing me so much of what _not_ to do!

You have entirely too few subscribers/views. Your sense of humor is right up my alley. This channel is going to take off

Whipping the tri cam 😂

I'm a SRT trained caver. We always rappel with a ascender (jumar) as a secondary attachment point. I can't ever see myself stepping over the ledge without the safety this provides.

OMG the sound of coconut! I don't intend to ever attempt outdoor climbing until I've watched and understood everyone of these videos AND only then with a very experienced partner.

At first I was scared to watch these, now I really learn a lot 🙏🏻👍🏻

Man... I love this channel more and more when climbing fails are posted. Such dedication to content. Amazing stuff, J!

Josh Perry, beta Climber PD, thank you for your service mate.

I am not a climber. I consider climbing as a form of insanity, but I watch Climbing Fails because you are fucking hysterical. “Does it sound like a coconut? Like there’s nothing in there?” Hahahahahaaa!

Sending your videos to my climbing group to insist that _everybody_ has a helmet this climbing trip. Thank you :)

"the sandpaper slide" 😂

Lovedddddddddd the intro. Howling

the guy who does this show cracks me up 😂

Caught chipping on camera! That man is dead... And the camera man also for not stopping him! è.é

Thank you, man! 👍

Best climb out I've ever seen!

You never fail to make me laugh

Hilarious intro, man! You should become an actor! 😁

I imagine the equalized thing as if the one anchor blows you are immediately adding the extra force of a fall equal to the new slack in the system, on to whatever force caused the failure.

The guy on the 6:14 look like he is running out of an Unplan heist, Gold watch miami vice vibes!

First clip is Gorilla My Dreams 5.10a at Index, WA. A burly, sustained layback sport route with a few cams at the start as you come up on the left, which pretty much guarantees the rope will be behind your legs or at least below you for that first section, although he did an even worse job of managing it. You could get the first bolt and then downclimb and back-clean the cams so your belayer can stand over on the right where the camera guy is, but that sounds like a faffe. Stick clip the first mega high bolt with a locking draw maybe?

I'm gonna start wearing my helmet even when I lead climb from now on...

Case of the runouts 🤣

Hey Josh, need some helmet police at my local crag for sure. What do you think about professional climbers not putting on helmets while climbing high grade routes and broadcasting it to the whole community? Keep up with the content, learnt a lot from you so far!

For the last one, why not build the v anchor on the left and rap down in that dihedral? Only downside would be most of the force on the left bolt but no tendency to swing?

Best one ever, hilarious

I love this channel.

I wish these were longer 😍

What music begins to play in the intro?

This is amazing video ahahahaha

Next level

From a physics perspective, force "follows" stiffness. So kind of the opposite of electricity/water. Which ever part of a system is the stiffest will be loaded more than the rest even when all parts are loaded.

well im definitely going to buy a helmet now

Why does he not have a prusik auto block back up above the fig 8 so if he slips it will catch him???

WEEEEE WOOO! WEEEE WOOOO!

You can do some sweet mixed tooling with that baton

2:00 Boulder Canyon? I swear I've climbed that. If its where I'm thinking, that tree is actually really close to the fall line and has a bunch of broken/sawed off limbs

Thats deep

In the final clip I'm pretty sure you can see another bolt over to the right, probably woulda been better to build the anchor over there away from the corner Also, get a prussik!

"I am Rock....I will test your vigilance to wear a helmet today"

Did the last guy manage to retrieve the rope after his rappel? Efficient? Leave a whole rope on the cliff ? 🤔not saving any inch.

Hopefully your helmet strap ain't that loose when you climb bro 😜😁🙏🏻❤️

3:05 "I wonder if their heads sounds like coconutts when tey hit their head" hahaah

Although the anchoring could've been better, yes, it just looks like his approach to abseiling was fundamentally wrong, he shouldn't have started climbing down an angled-off wall because of course he'll swing out since the centre of gravity is off and gives way. The angle of the rope and the wall should create a T, then there's no angle and won't swing since feet are parallel to the wall. Could've also had his feet wider apart so he could brace his left foot out, or pushed off the wall to re-stabilise after he swung instead of letting the top-heavy body swing out. It's all just physics. Anyway thanks for the entertaining vid!😁

3:02 i feel the Pain

I used to tell other climbers when i saw them doing something wrong. Not anymore after being told to f off. One time when i did and was told to f off the guy ended up dying because what i was trying to tell him ended up happening. The partner ended up saying he was sorry for not listening. I told him, too late now.

nice intro LOL

You said climbing out and didn’t climb out. What is the sentence for that?

1:57 that chick is using her dog calling voice 😂

Do helmets always fall off before you hit your head on the wall or would they work better if they stayed on until after impact? These are baseball caps 🧢, not helmets! Now I understand.

That last one, all the gear was brand new. No scuffs.

That was a tight belay on the first clip and to me it sounds like he's calling for slack. And after falling he looks upset/confused as to why his belayer wouldn't let him continue up???

For the first video his options are limited based on the way the route is bolted. Alpine draw instead?

You actually look like a member of Village People 😂🤣

08:41, on the top of the crag, have the police crime scene white stenciled round a dead dog? A pet hate of mine is people threading the fig 8 so the rope crosses on the back of descender where an edge or rock can catch it, why can't more people remember to feed the rope in from the front and avoid that?

3:55 Did the belayer let go of the brake rope?

what is guy at 5:00 doing and why its bad? i cant climb a step ladder so I'm just curious.

regarding the first clip, how would he have avoided having his leg behind the rope? it seems like that's where the route goes (the right side is completely smooth). Should the belayer have kept more slack? thus less tension on the rope and it would have been more flush with the rock?

How tight is that belay in the first clip!? Slack please.

Friends, I love it when Haines Jockies comment wrong and get corrected in later videos. B is for beta. Thank you, Kenny

I wonder why the first guy has so much gear, it looks like a sport route

Around minute 5:40, the guy sculpting the rock. We had an incident in South America. Hayden Kennedy (RIP) and Jason Kruk removed the bolts from the compressor route without consulting with the local guides. It generated some bad blood, the route was considered a classic, with the compressor on the wall included. The kids had to hide while an angry mob and the police negotiated what action to take. Technically they had defaced a national park, but the police rather see them gone, seeing the hostility of the local guides and climbers. What if your opinion when climbers find a clean route and remove gear from the wall? I am now old and out of the game for the most part. Seeing from afar, these climbing feuds look petty. But I know how worked up people can get. Could you comment on "removal of fixed gear" at some point? Maybe it's more of a problem in mountaineering.

why did the belay guy fall? did he slip or lose his balance or something?

The guy who hits the tree is Ethan Pringle on Empath.

i am getting to pre cautious after watching this and my climbing partner complains that i am to slow.

I use rope climbing and rappelling for graffiti and i agree. Graffiti doesnt belong on nature.

11:40, I enjoy climbing but haven't in a long time however this man just made a pulley with his ropes doubling the forces on the left point, obviously this is not a good thing.

Vid 2 : Its all worth it for the Insta

What the fuck is that guy doing?! Crushing the rock!

I wanted to see police at a crag, didn't see any

RENE was Seren after meeting EARNEST

Joshua Perry did NOT climb on out of there!

That second video I know the guy who took the fall name Tony he's doing a V2 highball called Foops at Flock Hill New Zealand it's super easy up to the dyno move then is a heel hook hand match to a mantle

Hey Joshua, on the last vid, the bolts are redundants but not the anchor. If the piece on the left blew, there would be about 3-4 meters of rope added to the system as he didn't equalize the piece. Instant shock loading if he didn't deck already.

SERENE there's another E for extension.

at 3:54, belayer move his hand from the braking side to ........ i dont know for what

that second clip is a Chris Sharma fa I'm pretty sure

jeez! After seeing this video I'm contemplating about making a training board for ancors at home, os I can get back to tying, prepping, achoring before heading out to the rocks. Man, some of these videos were brutal. Thanks Josh for sharing your opinion on them.

Shout out to pink tricam holster

Ouch, that last one. He's lucky the edge didn't slice through his rope. He's have more to worry about than his skull. Super poorly equalised. I was cringing while he was tying the repel device.

Maybe I should buy a helmet

Hi Josh

Bro do you even use that gear on your wall, looks pretty new where your climbing vids at?
