what the heck at 1:30, he just throws it in? Is that hard?

[hobit42]

1 hr 5 min 35 sec he demonstrates it fully it is about as hard as back cliping is dangerous

[flaminglawyer]

Great video overall. But perhaps you should consider showing the bowline on a bight (re-threading a single bowline) as a tie-in knot instead of the figure eight. It doesn't lock no matter how hard you fall on it.

[hobit42]

that knot accounts for a large percent of the climbing accidents per year

Great vid, but horrible belay technique with the Gri-gri. Old school. Better, safer technique on Petzl's website.

[hobit42]

what time stamp are you referencing

[Chris Lyons]

where is this filmed?

[paulsoul100]

Not bad vid ive been climbing 30 years, and still use the figure 8 and the bow line, but the bow line is the best it always comes loose (when needed) the 8 can cause problems, when its been loaded.  We was always fined for standing on a rope..But always check your ropes run them through your hand, any stiffness meens its been over loaded or contaminated dont use it..

But if you have to clean an overhanging route? Wouldn't you balance far away from the cliff? Just asking I'm fairly new to this

[joelricheme]

real great video for a 101, congratulations.But i've been told not to step on the rope as it can push little stones inside the sheat and wear down the core without knowing. hope you change your ropes frequently seeing how much you step on it in this vid. thanks for all the time and effort you put in the making of this almost perfect video

Ci sarebbe qualche errore nella manovra e nell arrampicata. Da rivedere.ciao

1:36  what magic is that!

[Kevbob Swayze]

to tie in with that knot would reduce the ropes breaking strength by up to half. which is pretty dangerous, especially if its an older rope. The re-threaded figure 8 knot is the only knot that does not weaken the rope. Mix that with its ease of use and you have a better understanding of why it is used by most everyone in the climbing community.

[Barry Lorgan]

you dont need it, and it gets in the way for clipping

[Barry Lorgan]

Yeah that's a tad sketchy for sure. I was taught to make a bight, feed it through the chains and make a figure 8 on the bight and use a locking biner to clip into the belay loop all before untying your original knot. The other thing that he does that makes me nervous is clipping the two quick draws together. With a metal to metal link up like that, if you shock load the system the biners could break and if you're untied....you deck.
