The Complete Guide to Climbing Belay Set Ups Part 1: Sling Belays. Quad, Girth Hitch, Y Hang etc!
Hello. Thnx for the very useful content, I am learning a lot with ypur channel. Still, I have doubts about how to haul your partner or abseiling down to them in a traverse route situation. Is there any tips or videos you could show us? Thanks a lot. Keep the great work!!
I always use my lanyard when climbing outdoors. It's just soo handy. It's basically always attached to my harness. Attaching to bolts Attaching to an anchor extend my rappel When ascending a rope When doing a counterbalance rappel rappelling past a knot When trad climbing in a group of three you often need to swap rope ends. So attaching yourself with something that isn't the rope is mandatory and since it's always there I use it. I use it way more often than I use slings. I do carry slings. But since it's always there, I default to using the PAS
I wish I lived closer so I could learn from you, watched loads of your videos and they are always the straight forward easy ways to remember the important stuff
prusik for bailing off one bolt is great - thank you for the video. My initial thought on that though was whether the prusik would hold or snap in the scenario you show with the animation??
Great review! What do you reckon for multipitch/trad is it good or better go for the Cuesta? I want it to be comfy first of all. And what about the leg loops? I like them fixed so probably this is why I won't get an Arcteryx 395A... Which is super comfy on your back but leg loops... Dunno... I tried a S and leg loops were not great to adjust. I have to replace my BD Solution now
Hi JB. Great review, thanks for this. Would you say that this device is Ok for abseiling?
Ok yes, but it wouldn’t be my number one choice.
What would you recommend for Yorkshire 3 peaks?
Massively entertaining 😊
its a reevo in grigri shell lol
The wheel inside works differently to the Revo wheel.
Did this 27 years ago, great memories of Gogarth.
Hi i love your videos so much,it was so helpfull. I would like to know how to build an top rope anchor in uk. I know it have many different ways to do it😅

excellent tutorial with very good examples! Thnx =)
Drizabone parka and trousers, re-oil, lasts donkeys' years.
Q: would it be possible for lefties to swing it round to opposite with handle facing other way for them instead, and lower sort of backwards?
I'm a bit worried about that last technique of tying the rope into a loop through two bolts. As far as i can tell, if the top bolt fails and your fall is arrested by a double strand of rope, that would effectively be a fall factor of 2. I guess that is still better than hitting the ground, but that would not always be a risk. Thoughts?
Would you rather a high factor fall, or to hit the ground..? That's the question I guess and I know my answer! If the top bolt did come out it wouldn't be a fall, because you're in hard to the bolt you're next to. If the bottom bolt came out, you'd fall a v small distance on to the top bolt via the rope. No high fall factor.
ah, fixed to the lower bolt directly as well. Right you are, misunderstood the setup 👍
@@2bfrank657 👊
Did anybody catch the names of the crag?
My bit was at Fedw Fawr, White Beach sector. The Petzl shots were Margalef but not sure which sector.
Nice 👌. That's a Great tip.👍
Glad you liked it!
Exactly the question I had. So it adds a safety layer in comparison to the atc.
I thnk so, yes.
Is the Petzl belayer at 2:09 rolling the brake rope far enough up the lip? If I were tutoring a new Grigri user I'd certainly tell them to pull the rope a little closer to them, so it runs over the centre of the lip.
so thats like a Gri Gri?
In the very loosest sense, yes I guess so.
@@JBMountainSkills thanks !!! I like your videos !
Beside a few gram lighter and the price, how is this better then the CT Alpine Up?
+ steel so should last longer, much less bulky too. Better? It's just a different option, some will prefer it, others won't.
@@JBMountainSkills Thank you for the answer! I am looking to buy my own first belay device. I always disliked the feeding slack on the grigri, so I want to buy something else but that still have an auto assisted mode.
These are worth watching just to add some fun color to stateside climbing banter. "bits of gear", "crack on with it", "your kit mate", "win back gear - which is ace". "screw gate", "beelay" and so on.
whoever the f is belaying without holding the brake strand, please get your brain tested.
I'm thinking more for belayer incapacitated by falling rock, illness, that kind of thing.
Heart attack, rock fall, animal bites / stings for alergic people, etc.; lots of cases where the belayer can become incapacitated, completely outside of their control.
was this scientific?
Hi. I have a question. This comes from years back when I was taught to use two half hitches instead of the mule to tie off. I find Two half hitches easier to teach, easier to learn, faster to tie, and easier to untie. Can you help me understand why the tied off mule is now the norm? Thanks!
They can prove much harder to untie if they're under load, whereas the Munter Mule is super easy.
This video is great and demonstrates exactly what I was curious of. I can’t believe people are arguing with you that this video is promoting handless belaying 😂. You say it like 9 times don’t let go
Apparently I should've said it 99 times 😂 Glad you liked it!
Would you let me belay you without holding the break strand? Then why are you presenting this? Aren't you aware that no anyone who watch this can make a difference between your situation and those where Neox for sure won't block without holding the break strand?
So you didn’t hear me say never let go of the brake strand multiple times?
@@JBMountainSkills i heard you very clearly but some people for sure will think it will lock anyway, i saw in that video. And I don't see the point of this video. In some ideal conditions it will block by itself but in many not so idk conditions it will not and then the climber have big problems.
@@vladdia80 I disagree. The point of the video: it’s not an ATC and could lock if you’re knocked unconscious and let go of the rope. I disagree that your take from the video is reflective of others.
@@JBMountainSkills you are right with the first sentence. Let's agree to disagree about the second one. 😉
Awesome! Is this the long (14ft) or short (9ft)?
I have both but think this is my short one in this video. If I could only have one, I’d personally buy the long one.
What I was hoping to find out in this video was how does it work feeding slack compared to a tubular assisted braking device? I know you've used the Giga Jul as well as a lot of other tubular assisted braking devices. Would you say that this one is easier for lead climbing or would you stick with the tubular style?
Good question. Feeding out is actually more slick than an ATC style device I think. However clearly it can still lock up GriGri style when you’re trying to give out slack. That happens much more infrequently than with a GriGri but there is still a learning curve to get the timing and angles right. I think someone used to an ATC will get the hang of smooth belaying more quickly with a NEOX than a GriGri.
Flash banged way to many times
What trousers are you wearing in this video? Thanks
Prana Bronsons
Thanks for the review, Jez! I picked up a Neox from Outside in Hathersage yesterday morning and really looking forward to trying it out :)
Hope you like using it!
very calm and professional assessment. Very useful video. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Still prefer my ClickUp
This configuration is the Garda hitch.
HALBMASTWURF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not american, not italian!!!!!
If we're going to be pedantic it was created by three Italian guides so we should default to what they called it I guess... They called it the Mezzo Barcaiolo. It was then popularised by a Swiss guide called... Werner Munter, hence Munter hitch.
can you flip the neox around and try the same thing ..... its just the way it would be oriented for rope solo
I’d like to see your take of the Neox vs the Jul2 , smart and ATC pilot . I find the benefits are that they are cheaper, lighter, have no moving parts and yet have the same functionality as the neox.
I see a lot of people in the comments wanting an "ultimate" device. I personally thing Petzl is doing the right thing putting the onus on the belayer to actually stop a fall. Climbers need to be more attentive, not have a failsafe for when they decide to stop paying attention
Yeah, people get quite wound up about belay devices! I think it'll be a good option for some people.
"The last one smack my elbow and it hurt" lol
😂
Always good info and an entertaining style. Good on you!
Cheers!
La sportiva Aequlibrium st goretex..Game changer
I love science. Nice official test. Break strand certified useless. Good to know 😅
Where was your dog when you were scrambling up?
He normally just waits quietly down the bottom getting attention from others. He's 9 and been doing it all since he was two months old.
do you think it would catch in an actual fall with no hand on the brake rope though?
I’ve held quite a lot of falls on it, more today. The answer is yes, most of the time. However as the usual caveat, I’d never take my hands off.
I had no idea lead rope soloing was a semi popular thing. Seems like a bad idea, but at least its not free soloing!
Thanks
Thanks so much!
really dislike this video. #notscience , but of course you want to make people believe what they want to see, another foolprove device. people already often lack in belaying abilities, because they think, my device will do the job, even when i am not watching my climber or let go the brake rope. We all see that as common missuse and accidents are pretty normal these days. So why in hell do you make people think the device will do the job ? Petzl did great in that point, but you here didn´t
You clearly didn’t listen to the point 💁♂️ Very very clearly state don’t let go. The point was to show it’s not like an ATC / Reverso. If anyone lets go of the rope that’s their fault not the device and they won’t be belaying me. It’s not fool proof, I say in the description every device has failure modes and this is no exception.
I think he says often enough to not let go of the brake strand. But, the question is: will it hold if the climber grabs a big lose rock, that knocks out the belayer....
@@thusneldamuller37Exactly, that’s all I want to know and this demonstrates that it would probably lock, same as a gri gri would probably lock although I presume the neox might need a bit more or a jerk to lock then a gri gri, obviously a total assumption though. I am still not going to rush out and buy a neox but possibly when my gri gri needs replacing then I might switch.
@@thusneldamuller37 not reliably, and when someone needs a device, that reliably locks without anyone doing anything, it´s only the revo that can do that. sorry petzl
The Revo?! Oof… don’t rely on that to lock!
in a real world climbing scenario, forces develop quite different from just pulling on the rope. if i slightly adjust my pulling force, i can by will make the device lock or not lock. that proves nothing and is just clickbaiting
See my other reply. It proves it’s not just an ATC / Reverso, that’s all.
