This is Crew’s Route at Hobson Moor at the northern end of the Peak District, UK. I also fell and unzipped my runners on this route, however I was trying to get on the ledge on the left as I was too scared to finish direct when my fall happened. The reason for unzipping on this route is 100% the belayer standing too far away. The placements are average nut placements in polished, quarried, slightly flared rock and no cam placements low down.

Where can I get the vibram sole for my la sportiva climbing shoes?

I actually hate that my static top rope setup doesn't let me drop and reattempt stuff... But I'll be buggered if I'm trashing my dynamics with my ascender. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or something, but for the amount of TRS i do, my rope gets trashed pretty fast.

i love these little bits of info on how to be a better all round climber, proper lead belaying is super important and intimidating to learn or even approach someone about

Are all those climbers too cool for helmets?!?!

I couldn't stop enjoying your reaction to the video. My sentiment exactly

Just unlocked my Saab 93 using my Nike shoes shoelaces lol thank you so much man.

Cool trick, but might be hard to get right when time is of essence

That thing sure is ugly

Last time I watched ur video was for rope soloing. It’s always been a dream of mine to ride my motorcycle to climb, funny how that’s brought me here again. Props to the shared vision! Love the concept of these. Could see these as an addition to but not replacement of foam unfortunately. Wonder how they’d hold up on uneven landings.

Make it $75 and give it aramid or thick nylon casing w/ straps and I’m completely sold.

Yeah price is absolutely the worst part about this thing it seems. Maybe I am missing something, but the current price seems wildly inflated (pun intended) for a glorified air mattress. I understand it is made with more durable material, but air mattresses are CHEAP. Even if this thing was magic, I wouldnt spend $200 for it. I’d rather get a trifold at that point.

Lmao you have a Navi 😂 I love this bro

The cover is a great idea to make these pads more viable.

If they can implement your suggestions and get some different sizes, I would definitely buy a few, depending on price. My only other thing that I would gave wanted it a way to lock the paid together but I see they already have a solution for that on their website. Durability would me my main concern at the current price.

Would be afraid of the bounce for sure. Curious if the weight/bounce would cause the pad to slide out from under you on an uneven surface or bounce you off the side. Seemed like low weight plus texture made the friction small enough that it slid away very easily. Also would it break your ankles if you land standing up on it. Even if it could only be used on perfect landings I'd pick up a couple at a more reasonable price.

Great information and yes if it was cheaper I would buy them for my son-in-law. Would make a great Christmas gift .

The pump look pretty bad, but otherwise, I am really considering buying this when it is available in Europe.

I think the plastic handle would break if it fell on a rock.

Handles, Prize. (although 75 bucks ist more of a wet dream of you guys).

I have brought my pad on a motorcycle. It’s not fun and I didn’t go fast.

For solo bouldering that’s pretty sick

Ayeee, Beta Boy hittin the local diabase 🤙🏼 sick

I can see this as a used case for van life ppl, or if you wanna bring 10 pads in 1 car. Especially when you bring an electric pump

Saw these in bishops earlier this year. More of a trad person, so I assumed they were normal modern stuff for tryhards while I poked around on v0's with my 20 year old blown out pad. I am sold on those blubbers though.

First, Get an electric pump. They cost nothing these days and do wonders. Second, I am not sure how these mats are constructed but I want to see something similar to the sleeping pads Seatosummit makes, which is auto inflatable and combination of solid foam and air.

Good luck taking that thing to Hueco, the cacti will have a hay day with that rig... 🌵😬

0:10 Always wear a helmet.

bro how come you tried every body part except for your legs to pump that thing up, you tried pressing it against both your ass and dick before stepping on it

dude ain't lying about the $75. I would buy it at that price

Bigger pump so more air goes in per pump

DAM you are ripped

Hi Josh

It whistle cause the hose has ridges just get a smooth hose

I love this idea it makes bouldering in inaccessible places much more possible which I would compromise on crash paddyness for 🦧

Personally I would not like the bounce factor, foam absorbs the shock of a fall better where air rebounds. They could work well to build up a base though and then cover with traditional pads

Like to hear your thoughts…wonder what cold weather would be like with these..🤔

“AH I WAS WONDERING what would break first… your spirit… or your body”

I cant see whats going on from the camera being so far away

As a sailor, I am disgusted that the “Moana Knot” is mostly know for that name other than the correct name: Flying bowline. I hope that this monstrosity of a name will never be repeated otherwise I will find every person who contributed to the Moana film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

El puto casco porfavor

Respect the edge

The thing is if I didnt read the description thoroughly (they warn its not for climbing at the very end or in smaller font) and just glanced at it and weren't interested in the physics behind climbing or inform myself on safety standard I would have just bought everything from amazon. My logic was how hard could it be to manufacture aluminium and nylon that I couldnt trust chinese products with it and what do asians use for climbing tools, it can't be only european and american brands that make quality stuff. I'll only use the carabiner to carry stuff around and never to anchor myself to them, the sling can be usefull in many way, but yeah I decided to buy all my stuff from climbing store and certified gear only because everything on amazon seems too sketchy. Most of their products in their climbing section have warning to not use them for climbing especially their top sellers, its absurd

Sick!

I don't think you should do this with a tube though. My guess is, if your rope hand is still up there while the rope engages to the fall, in that moment the rope will go right back through the tube, because the rope hand is not under the device line. With the usual method the rope hand goes above the device for a split second; with the demonstrated method it stays above the device line for quite some time, creating a larger time window where the tube doesn't brake, possibly even sucking your hand into the device.

well it’s been 3 years I guess this still hasn’t become a thing? I’m not sure why not just needs to be more durable and bendy but this would change the game.

Josh, you're applying basic principles of physics into real life in a very useful way here, therefore I declare you an engineer! Cause that's what we do all day... ;⁠-⁠)

At 3:05, it really looks as if the belayer totally loses control, and may even have let go completely before he hits the ground, and the last piece in has no slack, suggesting belayer error in the end.

unsatisfied video😂😂😂

I realize this is a relatively old vid, but it's absolutely accurate. As well as being enjoyable to watch. Both of those knots/hitches have saved my a** more than once. I recall getting to the top of 4 pitches in Seneca Rocks, WV, and discovering my partner had forgotten to take my second "new-fangled" ATC. I gave her mine. (It was the first time we'd climbed together. She had been belaying me from a hip belay which she was perfectly competent to do. And this was back "in the day," when some people preferred that method. I'm an old fart, still climbing at 80, though my son leads these days.) Anyway, I ended up rappelling 4 pitches, about 550 feet, with a Munter & was really happy that my climbing instructor (another woman, BTW) had the foresight to teach us that, among several other knots you don't use every day, but are very useful when you need them.
