First steps should always be: Ditch the shirt, put on a beanie so you don't get cold and then tape up some fingers. Doesn't matter if they're injured because a) it looks badass b) they should be injured anyway, you're a climber now

😂😂😂😂

God damn right

100%

Yeah, super short rope and didn't tie a stopper at the end. It's as much the climbers fault as the belayers.

practicing fundamentals on a less serious route. Get all your beginner mistakes out of the way so you dont hurt yourself on a more serious route.

End knot is mandatory. Period.

@@chaosengine4597 definitely! it’s a pretty dumb thing to be lazy about

I don’t get it if I had a rope that short I would have a laser focus on how much rope was left. Also I would never have a rope that short😂

@@DJ-kg6zq usually only once...

In Germany we teach that both partners are responsible for checking that there is a stopper knot as part of the partner check. The first thing you teach a newbie is how to do a proper partner check. Don't you learn it like that in the US?

😂😂😂

@@BetaClimbers you got the algo beta we don’t know about tho 👀

😂😂 and everybody knows there’s no such thing as leftover crack

People use to start with trad all the time before sport climbing was invented. Some people just aren't interested in sport climbing and that's okay.

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting as a Trad climber as long as you're taught professionally or by someone who really knows what they're doing.

If only there were more sport crags

Ya, the problem is they learn from youtube and inexperienced friends with bad habits. A general knowledge of physics and common sense helps lol...

only people with brain need to protect it, is what I'm always saying.

😂

I didn't read your comment past the first 4 words

Hello John!

Theoretically they could have seen where that the climber was in line with the last piece they placed and moved to a safer spot before the fall occurred.

or the rope anchored at the bottom? I was thinking that. Plus bad posture.

Instagram, discord, email. I make myself very accessible. 🤙🏻

who tells you this was top-rope? He could have cleared the 1.5 pieces of gear on his way down.

@@chaosengine4597 What do you mean, "Who tells...?" The rope is going from the climber....to the top...and to the belayer. You don't need slide ruler here. Yes, maybe he was descending after leading and pulling gear but totally miscalculated the rope length. I do not know. Neither do you.

@@ananda_miaoyin you basically support my case. As you write, we don't know what they were doing. Therefore we cannot assume some weird toproping with a rope too short (I could think about reasons how such a case could happen, but it seems highly unlikely in that setup as you would need to lower your belay point after you have set up your top rope station).

@@chaosengine4597 Right. We don't know. Either way, shame on the belayer! Short roping is scary at best. We got busted one time on a four pitch climb. We used my partner's 30M and I had to climb to the second piece just to get him to the next belay station!

@@ananda_miaoyin Shame on her _only_ if she was not completely new to the Job. It might as well be that her climbing partner just said something on the line of "don't be scared, it's easy and I will not fall anyway" and put the stuff into her hands.

I appreciate the opinion. I started climbing in the early 90s when I was maybe 3ish. My father mentored me in the sport, before I can walk I was climbing. Before that I was in a haul bag being hauled up the cliff. Lol I became the youngest to climb El Cap in 2001. Then I became or rope access tech at an early age, now I own a rope access company. So I’m a little knowledgeable. The laws of climbing are written in blood. Many climbers have dead by not obeying the rules. These videos are meant as a reality check to climbers or new climbers. The most dangerous mind set when climbing is complacency. So to be able to analyze the mistakes of others is a powerful tool as to not repeat the same mistakes. The clips are sent to me to be analyzed by the climbers and I receive many emails daily thanking me for helping them through these videos. Many people go out and buy helmets, bring extra safety gear or just practice rescue techniques now. I don’t enjoy watching anyone get hurt or make mistakes but I appreciate these climbers sending these clips to me so others can learn from them.
