  • 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...

  • 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.

  • @Narvasus

    He got into climbing and the Yardbirds around the same time

  • 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.

  • @MrGammonRod You can turn them off. jus sayin

  • 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.

  • 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.
