At 1:01 your anchor setup is significantly less safe with the knot in your sling, these hold up 24 kn but with the knot only 8 kn, avoid doing that. :)
You should make more videos. I agree with the aforementioned sentiments that most vids on here are crapola. How about rappelling and anchor building? Nicely done.
stupid question? once your partner retrieve your equipment how do you get back down? walk down with the rope you anchored to the rock but then how do u remove it from the rock?
I'm not one to needlessly criticise youtube vids, on the whole this one was good but I did notice at about 5:50 where he places the hex, he clips the crab with the gate facing into the rock. There's a small but genuine risk of the gate opening on contact with the rock in a fall, reducing the strength of the crab to about 1/3 of normal.
@lehman you can walk down there might be lower off chains sometimes you may have to leave gear behind at the top, only very cheap stuff, very often though other climbers will have left gear before you, and if between you and your climbing partner you agree, you set up your own anchor in case the one that someone has left fails, then the heavier of the two goes down, if it fails, your system catches, if not the second one down can remove your stuff then go down on the previously left gear
Glad you guys are not over serious about putting out climbing instructional vids or I would be out of business. Yours is one of the better ones maybe not as good as mine but still pretty good.
Excelent video, thanks!!

The best climbing instructional video I've seen so far.
Entertaining even for those who've been climbing for a while.

the one thing I would say is that make sure biners don't run over rocks.

Now that they're at the top with all their gear out of the rock, how do they get down safely?
