I have watched this now in full for the third time over the course of 9 months. Each time I absorbed more and understood certain details better. This video is a nice refresher and I will keep coming back to it, because your way of explaining thoroughly with this relatively low pace just makes me more confident. This is especially true when having to make decisions in unexpected situations. No matter how much you practice dry... on the rock, pumped, windy, under load things are just always different. I love how you not just say "this is how its done", but explain why you do it that way. Watching your videos gives me the tools to explore myself and make decisions based on pros and cons. The many positive comments of experienced veterans and instructors builds even more trust in your content. Thank you very much for that!

Fantastic video, good job, it's looking to be a fantastic library of climbing safety knowledge! Regarding connecting slings with a larks foot, I was taught that connecting two, different diameter slings with a larks foot is extra risky, as the skinny one can easily cut the thicker one. Especially when the skinny one is Dyneema and the thick one is Nylon

WRT equipment inspection: Rated gear also has a serial number. I keep a spreadsheet with all the serial numbers for every piece of gear (categorized), date of manufacture, date of last use, date of last inspection (not counting field inspection before use), purchase info, and notes about anything that could make the gear marginal (eg got left in a hot car or held a fall factor >1). Makes it easy to ensure I fully inspect everything annually. Probably overkill, but I'd rather have a bit of excessive caution when it comes to gear, particularly as I climb trad.

I think i agree with pretty much everything in this video. For the via ferrata, you're absolutely right. Dont fall. If you're not exactly confident about what you're doing, remember that if you're at least two on a via, you can also have a form of belaying to ascend the via. This can ease a lot the experience for beginners.

Awesome videos. Thank you so much. 21:48 - I also like the Adjustable dynamic lanyard the most. What I do about "the extra tail dangling around your harness" - I extend it to be around its max length, clip it to my harness and then tuck the hanging rope under the harness strap on my leg. Somewhere on the side works the best, as the rope is not in the way. And a try to raise my knee as high as my flexibility allows, to make sure that the tucked rope is not limiting this move.

@ASelman 2 жыл бұрын

A great video and a clear and thorough presentation, thanks. A comment for the test when you are using a rope to cut a sling, the Dynema heats up and then fails. It changes behaviour at different temperatures. When it is heated up it can stretch and deform more easily and it's tensile strength is reduced at that point. However once it has cooled it will stay deformed, but substantially recover it's strength. This is less of an issue when climbing, but when a dynema rope or sling is 'working' hard (under high load and tighter radius or a friction anchor like bollard wraps, then it heats up under the high load condition and reduces it's strength when dynamically working under high load. Keep up this good work.

I use the kong slyde attached to the harness. No awkward reaching to adjust it from the anchor point. Impossible to lengthen without unweighting and tilting it down. Still quite easy to adjust when needed. However, the rope is important. Mine came with a 9.0mm rope and after a lot of use, the rope developed flat spots which allowed it to invert on itself in the slyde. Switched to a 9.8mm rope. No issues and still feeds nicely.

Perhaps one thing to add to the overhand knot in a sling; for example for the extended repel setup you showed, is to clip the leftover loop into the carabiner to avoid any issues if the knot slips. This is what was taught to my for outdoor lead climbing years ago
