Rope SOLO Climbing Journey In Tough Weather

Starting my rope solo climbing journey back in the same area where I also climbed my first ever free solo route.
This is just the beginning. I will be doing lots of rope soloing in the upcoming months and can't wait to show you all of my upcoming projects.
I hope to progress with each route and gradually increase the difficulty of my rope solo ascents.

The climbing is always amazing but I'm here to say that your opening still shots are amazing too. More quiet openers. The land is so beautiful and calming.

Nice trip! On the first clip at 2:29, you could already have suspended the lead rope weight. That would have secured the bottom belay carabiners in the proper orientation. Also you don't have to extend so many quickdraws because you don't have rope drag when on rope solo... Good adventure! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you! Good advice! It’s funny how It didn’t even cross my mind that there is no rope drag hahah, I guess it was just muscle memory doing it’s thing 😆. Looking forward to the next climb to improve my rope solo technique 🙌

Hi Yann. Have you tested the asap on a skinny dynamic rope? Im just curious if it really works since it’s not designed for that!

@YannCamusBlissClimbing 9 ай бұрын

@@maxlindroth1594 i have. You can expect Same results as an ascender or micro traxion. It will cut a skinny dynamic rope and desheath a thicker one in a severe fall.

@@andrazegartrope drag is actually beneficial while rope soloing, some people create large amounts of friction using rubber bands so that the rope doesnt sag down and create dangerous and poorly visible slack

Hey man! Long time watcher. I am curious if you felt more afraid of falling during a rope solo vs free solo. I have heard that when free soloing, falling isn't a big consideration since it isn't an option. But when roped, the fear of falling becomes more real! Great videos man, keep them up!

@andrazegart 9 ай бұрын

Thank you brother, I remember your username 😀🙌. Hmm that’s an interesting question. In this particular case not really, since the route was still well below my limit, but I am gonna gradually climb harder routes, so that will probably change my answer soon haha. Also worth mentioning is that this route was mostly bolted, so that also makes you feel safer than on trad.

@colter779 9 ай бұрын

This makes sense. I am looking forward to see your progress. I am sure harder routes and more trad climbing will pose a lot of different challenges and unique perspectives! Good luck friend@@andrazegart

Hi Andraz! Firstly I must say your videos are highly inspirational, so much infact I just ordered some clibing gear for myself. This leads me to my question: Are you self tought or did you have any form of climbing education?

@andrazegart 9 ай бұрын

Thank you brother! If you want to get properly introduced to climbing I HIGHLY recommend alpine/mountaineering courses. That’s where I learned all of the basics. But as far as rope soloing goes, it is still a very new and unknown sport in our country so I had to learn everything on my own.

@andrazegart 9 ай бұрын

Thank you, appreciate it! It is indeed the ASAP, and I use it for my backup device in case the grigri fails :) If you look closely you see that it is attached to my belay loop, and the tiny cord on the right side of my harness is just to keep it out of the way.

@chrisa8960 9 ай бұрын

The angle between the points in your first belay station is far too big. You could extend the sections of the rope coming from the individual points to the master point, making this assembly stronger. Just for consideration, for re-climbing the pitch I use ascencion, if I do not want to climb it normal way again, with the spoc as a backup. Great stuff and good luck!

Seems like the worst of both worlds. All the faff of gear and ropes but still a lot more risky than normal trad/sport climbing with a belayer. For me, free solo climbing is pure and true spirit of the mountaineer
