Indoor Rock Climbing Techniques : How to Belay a Climber in Indoor Rock Climbing

[Goovje]

In our Climbing-gym the Twistlock is forbidden, and they are only using Belay-masters *carabiner* and always before anyone climb you need to do a buddycheck, if you harness is closed correct, your belaying lup is still in good order. your belaying device closed correct (if use of Gri-Gri or ATC ect. ) and the Communication to your partner is very importend.

what a div he didnt check the gate of the karabiner he put the belay device upside down the belay technique is outdated etc

[Guidesims3]

@leeandlou100 agreee but the biner he is using is a auto locking  but you should always check no matter what

[jaenadar]

This is really, really bad. Please stop making these videos.

[Bogumsky]

What the ? BEGINNERS BEWARE OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS.....what a retard............

[TheWupperdo]

If this punk came into the gym I work at and asked for a belay test I'd definitely fail him.

[davervr6]

lets just hope he never has children

[KCOCAEP67]

okay

so where does one find the proper techniques?

[ishotthepuppy]

@KCOCAEP67 ask qualified instructors, ie at your local indoor climbing gym, and not from youtube clips... especially not this guy because from this vid he could get you killed or seriously injured.

[Robert5185]

Layoff him dude I don't see you making vids I think it is good to show what not to do to make climbers aware

[ishotthepuppy]

@Robert5185 that's a good point, but this was not labeled as a what NOT too do video, was it? a person following this could be seriously injured.

[cazouu36]

wrong

[F1X0R121]

@MercedesBenxx I found the auto-belays (which have snapshot crabs on) weren't locking properly. The guard had become messed up and it didn't swing round right, you'd think it locked but you only had to push the gate and it was open. You shouldn't rely on the things at all.

Can someone suggest to me a video that contains the correct way to belay someone with a ATC type belay device? So far all the videos I have come across has been of the deadly kind. Thanks.

[highlandclimber]

they still haven't removed this video which has made me extremely annoyed especially when i have contacted them twice about it at least since my last comment on this video theres not been a comment saying "this helped me pass my test"

[SuperZizel]

you have to get a bit that the end ins to the right if you an right handes

[Dave1507]

WOW!

Another life-saving video

*irony-mode off*

[cha1ny]

Disregard this video.

[cgoudge]

Oh My!

I would not want him on my belay!

What ever happened to a good ole tandem prusik with a PMP?

[heathenwalking]

errors 1) did not check the gate of the karabiner had locked. 2)threaded belay device up side down 3) using poor, outdated belay technique 4) He has no idea why the thing has asymmetric slots. 5) never expressed the need for pre-climb checks, which may have saved a life in this case 6) Only has one hand on brake rope for lower off. Unless using a gri-gri two hands are used. He is also inarticulate.

[mezzanodalaghetto]

@heathenwalking I've never used a tuber. But jesus this guy in the video is a real idiot!

[kranthitech]

@heathenwalking why dont you make a video sir ?

[heathenwalking]

@kranthitech Now that you say it, I might. I don't have access to a climbing wall at the moment though.

[highlandclimber]

omg i do not believe expert village

i asked for this video to be removed for safety reasons they did so and now they have reposted it

[heathenwalking]

I asked for the same one to be removed. I got your message as well Highland climber.

[ashwah247]

i wonder if he'd feel guilty if someone died after watching this...

[SnipersDeath]

lol xD

[metacarpal74]

Hi Danny, I know it is hard to get the words out when giving instructions. though for this video i think you should have practiced. I feel that when the rope is attached you should also have the control rope further from the body, this will stop the rope from twisting the belay loop. I think it is also a good idea to remind people to physically check the crab to check it is properly locked. Good belay method taking in the rope very well handled, Dont rush the lower off, just as important.

[huyiy]

he doesnt even know how to attached rope to the atc.. brake rope should be naturally on the bottom side of atc..

expert village should get better people

[davidcross30]

i agree and like the rest of his clips please stop teaching people how not to do stuff

[Delkaoth]

Is that the ATC-XP that you are using? Just curious. If it is, could you send me a little review on how it well it has worked for you in the past, its pros and cons. Thanks for the help! :)

Delkaoth

[magnetite123456789]

Ive used just about every common type of belay device available, and in my opinion the ATC XP is by far the best.

[RedStar1111]

As Magnetite said, It's a ATC XP, It's quite an amazing alternative to a default ATC, Which, The XP only has teeth on one side, Which makes it easier on the Belayer. Personally I own Both a XP and a Normal, Also, This was the may I learned to Belay, You NEVER want your dominate hand to leave the rope.

[heathenwalking]

It is an ATC-XP its pretty good. Personally I prefer the guide model, but unless you're going to be doing multi-pitch climbs

[tothemaxxx]

ooh la la
