Reverso 3 Practicing Self Belay with Minimal Gear: Must See!

[Spartonico]

Id watch out were you put that knot u font want it to get tangled in your devic

[ScottSloe]

Note: always one hand on the rope coming out of the Reverso belaying device. In this video, the climber releases that handgrip only once (for a moment after he's confident of his secondary belaying device, the Prusik, and his ascender with the foot loop).

is that two ropes through your belay or one rope with some fancy twisting around? Do the same principles apply if I only have a single rope? I just picked up a rope, harness, carabiners, and shoes. I've been practicing on a small rock where if I goof the worst I'll get is a bruised bum, but definitely want to learn more! Especially solo stuff since I'm the only one in my circle who likes to rappel/climb.

Awesome job! This video was really helpful, and you're a great climber.

[eequalsmccached]

You should make some more videos, I enjoyed this one. I am just learning myself about climbing.

[ridenhour1]

can you do a video of a more in depth safety backups? maybe a how to?

[3du4rsm1th]

Awesome video. You are right, I too find climbing and mountaineering inspiring. I have a suggestion. For ascending the ropes you may want to use your reverso 3 in the opposite direction, that is in the autoblock position. I'll be happy to elaborate. Good luck and happy climbing.

@3du4rsm1th Thank you very much for your comment. I for sure want to try the reversed position with auto lock. And yes please do.

right, i had it get nasty before when i wanted to see what would happen if i had no wall by facing sideways...its easy to slip up or rotate backward, for that reason i was looking into making a cordlette chest harness to tie into so you wont flip up. Thanks for the comments, its helping me to understand more about climbing saftey. And we all know you have to know it yourself by doing it yourself. And by yourself i mean proper training. Thanks@rarbiart

[rarbiart]

As long as you have a wall in front of you feet this works fine. But without a wall (or far down, so no preessure available) this gets really nasty if you have do more than just 5 meters.

your prussik line needs to be on a locker so it is safe and you dont fall if it comes undone witch it can if you use a locker !!! it will not

[JoshuaS99]

really enjoyed your videos. inspired me to head to my indoor climbing center and take some classes.

[nmotiontravelguide]

@JoshuaS99 thank you for your kind comment. I fell into climbing and got into soloing a little bit on small walls at the beaches here in Philippines. Bohol is a great place to look at and Palawan, I hear.

[Onkyo1990]

nice vid, 1 thing tho, you should use a double fisherman knot on your prusik, and the knot should be between the carabiner and the prusik. but otherwise your setup looks pretty sweet :)

[nmotiontravelguide]

@Onkyo1990 Thank you, i know the D.Fisherman, but someone pointed to me that an overhand is good on a P.P. I think you mean that my P.P should be tied off just after the 3 wrap so that the force of my personal break( the P.P) will hold better. It will be more reliable. I will try this in my set up, thanks. Please subscribe, i'll be posting climbing in the Philippines soon.

@Onkyo1990

overhand is better because You can make it using one hand only and You can easly undo it , using your teeth for egz,

[icychap]

Good technique.

[nmotiontravelguide]

@icychap Thank you for your comment and for your view of my video. There will be more very detailed climbing soon from the Philippones! look out for them.
