There is a very good reason that this method never caught on. The climber brings up some very good point, however they are on his crampons and no where else. You could try this technigue at your local ice crag and see what kind of reaction you get.

  • mal mısın olm bu ne biçim sistem böyle,

    bunu uygulamak için yanında bir de amele taşıman lazım..

  • @uzuncakmak I was thinking the exact same thing!

  • wow mike, this is a long time for you to use and abuse the stupidity of others.... it;s awesome. anyways thanks for all your work on your videos its helped me learn a great deal about climbing, and hopefully my first lead will go well here shortly, anyways please keep up the good work and i will do my part to make sure you get your donation!!

  • @phillippeak I know sometimes I feel like I am kicking a puppy. I can't believe the reaction I get from people on this video. Can you actually believe that they don't think this is the safest method of ice climbing. I invented it so it must be so. Go figure.

  • If anyone watches a FUNNY youtube video and says to themselves "shit now I know how to ice climb" and they go out and fall it's their own damn fault!!!! This video is funny, that's what it's meant to be. God I can't stand people who scream "won't somebody please think of the morons!" We certainly do live in a nanny state if someone can be held accountable if someone takes their amusing video seriously. Rock on Joe, are you still doing stuff like the direct finish on Andromeda Strain?

  • @sillyak Nay I gat a way bigger rush yanking peoples chain.

  • i think id rather still have a 5th tool above those 4 just incase they all give way, but then in theory if those 4 go then my 5th could also fail. so really i need another just incase the backup fails. In my opinion don't think that this is safe... always use 5 or maybe 6 just incase.

    I love the fact that you now do podcasts, i no longer get bored at work, i can watch your videos all day

  • how could anyone dislike this.... cuz they tried it :) great vid

  • Another video which explains nothing useful

  • Hell, why even bother with a belay with a setup like that???

  • This video should be called "building a smarter future" I think there should be more videos like this one and maybe the world wont end up like that movie "idiocracy" (which sucked btw). Fuking canadians...americas top hat. make me laugh!!

  • Dejate de jodeeerrrrrr!!!

  • Omg.that mountain is really icy. Not good for ski but perfect for climbingi suppose. And you are without cords tied to your body so one single mistake you fall down and die. Wheres you security extra cord for your safety ?

  • you got my method ! but i use 20 iceaxes ... but if you like to pick me up on it and i give you a biag kiss as you know i have austrian ancestors and ich hob mich gerd in dich suesswasseryankee verschaut - aber dann nua aufm annapurna ... then coall me if you liek then we goa !!! oba ich krieg bestimmt wiedar ko onruaf oas den USA ... 1ain3d
