A nice tip when setting up your rappel: if you set up your third hand first and pull rope up through it, it will actually hold the rope for you and make it much easier to feed the strands through your rappel device. Also, if you were to get distracted for whatever reason and not set up your device correctly before you remove your PAS, your third hand will hold you enough to prevent a catastrophic fall when you go to lean back since you set it up first. Great video!

In a few videos, when clipping your pas in before cleaning the anchor, why do you clip into the master point on the anchor, rather than clipping your pas directly to the bolt/ring? Would the latter not allow you to stay clipped into pas even after cleaning the anchor? Really appreciate these videos. They are the best on KZfaq when it comes to these subjects.

If you keep making videos, I will keep watching them. This feels like the best I have found on anchors and lowering/rappelling. It's serious, efficient, does not assume knowledge, and covers the different scenarios to be aware of. It's perfect for me to practice and then come back and reference over and over.

Be careful with friction hitches as life supporting, as with the grigri, it is still capable of failure. I’ve seen the autoblock not bite in some tests I’ve done at home and it was enough to spook me and make me understand why arborists spend so much $$$ on mechanical prusiks.

I did my first single pitch multi pitch simulation today. I’d managed it before but it was messy and my belayer hated the whole experience. I had a much better understanding of rope and anchor management after failing once, watching this, then trying it on my own.

Great video as well as your others. The only thing missing is that you don't make a safety knot at the other end of the rope that you lower down. For both types, only at the first end

Always great content! Keep it coming. Something I haven’t seen in your videos is when lead climbers need to clean a single pitch sport route and there are just rap rings at the top, they’re not linked and you just have a PAS and QuickDraws (which is very common). Option 2 is you don’t have a PAS (also common for sport climbers).

Wow, that was very thorough. Awesome work!

Clear explanation. Good content

Ooo yes, new video! Love your channel

Great instructional video. Love your teaching style. Thank you.

This is very informative thank you

Thanks. ❤

great video! thnx!

nice vidoe

Hi Jason, can you do a how to on abseil plates? I'm specifically looking to use small ropes for skimo (like the Grivel Scream, Ovo or gigi could be larger rope alternatives).

Thanks for this, very helpful series!

How long is the hollow block good for?
