How to Rock Climb : How to Set Up to Belay a Rock Climber

[MacTheMacable]

You see when I rock climb/belay, well we don't have none of them fancy pants floor anchors, so basically we just get dragged into the wall...

[7mikepd]

i just think he needs to mention how the rope is supposed to pass through the belay. most belay devices have a side that has more friction than others, or a strong and weak side. it is pretty much the only part that can be confusing on a belay device.

did this video fall out of the 70's? lol

HOW DO PEOPLE GET ON EXPERT VILLAGE???? DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS GUY SAYS, HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT HES DOING!!!!! JUST PAY 100 BUCKS TO LEARN AT A GYM!!!! Seriously, though, if you listen to this guy, his advice will get you either a nice bed in the ICU or one 6 feet under, your choice.

oh come on, it's not the end of the world. That daisy chain won't be under tension 90% of the time, and should still pull downwards when he catches a leader fall.

that said, it doesn't hurt to use another krab.

I wish they'd sort their subtitles out, I can't see what's happening when they're in the middle of the bloody screen.

[MasonStormm]

@MrGammonRod You can turn them off. jus sayin

[AsboxCore]

Oh Hell No.

Good video. But, I would mention that not all carabiners are the same and that there are others that use a different locking system. The use of the ground anchor is ok. I would also mention that the rope must be uppermost one when set up and that the control rope should pass out towards the feet.

why dose he say belay like that ??? lol

[cazouu36]

this guy is going to kill someone

[Narvasus]

[armbandremote]

@Narvasus

He got into climbing and the Yardbirds around the same time

[jpsartre666]

HE DRY LOADS THE BINER!

THAT IS REALLY DANGEROUS!

sorry for the caps. but i mean thats kind of dangerous. for what its worth.

[Ticats]

@jpsartre666 what is dry loading?

[jpsartre666]

@Ticats he loads the biner in three directions. which is bad.

[jobuXC]

to keep people from falling? you mean, to keep people from falling FAR?

[DrGfromMD]

Personally, I clip into the harness points that the "harness loop" he shows here is looped through - I always try to minimize the number of pieces of equipment that can potentially fail. Most ppl don't think about this - though its convenient to use the loop (all harnesses have them) - it just adds another piece to the potential failure chain

[Creator133]

I will disagree. Forces are completely different this way...

[benrandall777]

Not very good. This is gonna get people killed

[SuperZizel]

if you harnis in floating arownd why do you need it.

[Razakww]

Why use a daisy chain... What about dynamic balaying ?

[jasperjay76]

Would be good to mention rope direction of travel through the ATC. If you need a floor anchor, with that little rope remaining on the ground would be a good idea to knot the end also. Good video. Better then others on YouTube.

[SketchySam123]

Nice vid Brandon - reminds me of good times at RQ.

[dodgydogman]

He really doesnt go into enough depth with this :/..
