  • How did you set up the rope?

  • this is the best instructional video on the web

  • @JS3325 He has it clipped end to end.. This guy has been up El Cap probably 100 times by now and there is probably not much you can teach him. He Jumars for Tommy Caldwell.

  • so what method should be used when you cannot keep your feet against the wall?

    my feet want to kick out when i put my weight on, and it kills my arms like you said in the video... hmm

  • i just happened to notice that you don't have your daisy chain clipped in as suggested. it is recommended that you clip it in end to end and then shorten by using second locker from the link you want to use to the top.
