    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

  • @2bfrank657
    @2bfrank657 11 дней назад

    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?

    • @JBMountainSkills
      @JBMountainSkills 11 дней назад

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    • @JBMountainSkills
      @JBMountainSkills 16 дней назад

      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.
