Do Pro Climbers Have Fear of Falling? Stefano G, Dave G and others Share their Secrets.
I'd be more worried about that knife He used to cut the rope.. Any knife in my repertoire Could be pulled through and would cut the rope in one swipe.. Sharp blades matter
Wow, so the dirt turns everything the rope touches into sandpaper... that's GOOD to know, thanks for sharing
Peut être ce qu'il faudrait dire clairement c'est que même sans toucher le neox il assure la chute du grimpeur, SAUF: si le poids du grimpeur est inférieur à 20 kg.
Same as washing cars with dirt
What is the error in those measurements? Please include a confidence interval, they look pretty close to me
not explained the reason
“Back-and-forth back and forth” Isn’t this still just back and forth ?
This is why you never stick a knife blade into the ground unless you want to blunt it quickly. The world is abrasive, almost as much a people are.
7:20+ how much do these weights weigh?
Great! The rope goes on top of the knot to follow the line, and finally I got the right 8! Thanks, man!
Sales propaganda from Big Rope. 😎
My favorite device cannot be any Petzel device just because of the cost. In my opinion, the best safety/functionality-to-cost ratio is the mammut smart, but if we add the bonus of comfort I would say bd pilot is close winner. I still chose the smart.
That sound is friction . It will surely shortspan the device
U made it like gri gri and u expect every users to expect it isnt u stupid petzl r$d
Dude, you have to do so many hundreds of climbs to make ur rope get that worn out.....this is a bad representation.
Hey man, this was by far the best tutorial on the follow through I’ve ever seen. I’m sure that the other 100s of videos teach us how to do it just fine, but your video actually had me feeling like I understood what was going on. Tysm
You could use mobile phone accelerometers and save yourself a bunch of effort. Amazing work though. Very interesting.
“Always lock, and no clicky sound, and maybe improve the ergonomics that would be the ideal belay device” Love this video and the answer is the Trango Vergo. All the criteria above is met and tested by Hard is Easy.
Clicky sound wil damage the device quick
And this is why I just use my helicopter
What did you expect? Dirt acts like sandpaper on the rope. A rock is not a smooth blade. Switch that smooth blade out for some dirty hard-core rocks and you'll get roughly the same result as a dirty rope.
Awesome video as always. I doubt that any tubular style fan really stopped the video at 3' 😅. It def worths watching it 'till the end
Back some 17 years ago I actually tested to fall on a 60 cm dyneema sling in an indoor gym where I worked. Nothingbrokean d I was uninjured, that's not to say it didn't hurt or it was a good experience.That was the most static catch I ever had and one of the most stupid experiments I've done. Had the sling been 120cm or more I would surely broken my pelvis, this is where I felt the hardest strain. Great vid!
Edelrid Giga Jul is the only device from this list that is alpine device and it's working fine with two thin ropes/single rope with 10mm~ diameter
Late to the party: I wonder if having a loose or tight knot initially substantially changes how hard of a dynamic jerk would be needed to make a rope fail. I suspect either would be much higher than any fall could possibly cause without a defect
Full time instructor, & I teach a no thumb method on GRIGRI. It’s not as ‘comfortable’ AT FIRST but it reduces risk & becomes really easy to avoid camming with a little practice!
I just ordered the Neox & Edelrid Pinch - eager to compare to my GRIGRI!
Damn I love your videos so much. Xavier is such a beast to send that crux move before the anchor...that was such a hard sequence on such bad holds...And Hannah is always fun to watch, since she gives a strong vibe of "one of us". The amateurs who push themselves hard, and sometimes it works, other times it makes us sad and frustrated, but eager to go back. Thank you for producing such an amazing climbing content. You're a legend.
7:42 : Ok I am never buying this, thanks for the review !
Excellent demonstration.
American sees rope frayed: woah Scandinavian sees rope frayed: WÖŒGH🇸🇪
I'm no climber, but i came up with this silly idea that probably isn't very practical but would be interesting to see tested anyway. To me, it seems like high friction between the rope and the surface it slides along is the main issue, and that you'd would want to limit that friction as much as possible, so here is my proposition: Instead of relying on built in sleeves and their often taut fibers for cut/abrasion resistance, would it be possible to use some sort of removable (and replaceable) sleeve made from a flexible low friction material? Something like a thin PTFE tube that's split open in some way (perhaps a slight spiral cut?) in order to be more easily attachable/detachable. The idea being that these sleeves stay somewhat in place where you fit them on the rope, but can slide and rotate with relative ease when necessary, creating a low friction barrier between the taut rope and sharp rocks. The situation where I'd imagine this would be most useful would probably be in a cave exploration or similar scenario where the rope is relatively static, but is constantly in contact with sharp/abrasive surfaces it could shift across. if this idea is even feasible, it would probably increase the complexity of and planning required for a climb, as these sleeves could potentially get in the way of gripping the rope or letting the rope pass through equipment. I do have some concerns that the sleeve could be twisted off the rope by accident under extreme conditions, though that may be possible to mitigate by changing from using plain tubing that's split open to a custom profile that has a tapered overlapping joint. As mentioned above, i don't really climb and have no plans to, and I'm not really interested in investing a bunch of time and money into another project i'm never gonna have any practical use for, so this is as far as I'm taking it. If anyone wants to test it out, good luck!
Edging the rope 💀💀
Can you test with different weights to when it auto lock without hands on? Would be nice to see different devices.
Awesome content. Thank you. I'll stick with the Grigri+.
Look into the method they used to cut the blocks for the pyramids so precisely. They used long, dull "saws" designed much like the old push/pull crosscut saws used by lumberjacks, but instead of a blade or teeth, they just dropped sand in the groove. It's pretty fascinating how well it works.
just get gloves dude
Name of rope: Floppy
Rock climbers pretending they have any understanding of what might kill them one day - "whoa, WhOa, ThAt'S cRaZy!"
Welp, time to get it laminated
Yup sand paper works
Typical man, he came and made a mess then left. Didn’t even stay the night.
Name the rope 'Hildegard'.
Hola , el Neox es un poco mas seguro que el ATC e igual de rapido pero mucho mas caro y menos seguro que el Gri Gri. Para mi es la mejora que le falta al ATC.
Ben, the quality of the content (and also didatics and edition) of this and all others of your videos are astonishing. I am learning a lot with them. Thank you.
wash it with fabric softener and conditioner with silicone liquid?
Shouts out to the cameraman filming about a foot too high for us to actually see the rope.
So why not just carry a backup line that is less dynamic and has 10ish feet of Slack
or name should be “Sultan Mehmet” or simply “Istanbul” because he moved his ships through the land thanks to his reliable ropes and conquered the Constantinapole.
Name can be an acronym, like UCR (ultimate climbing rope)
"Start hard, finish easy" is all you gotta do. Leads to the least time taken to dress the knot. That it happens to untie easier is just icing on the cake.
Well detailed, love it 👌 Very nice of them to let you in. I would have been curious to see how does the rope performs on the test they did for the science paper and also on the other tests, even though these tests are providing non repeatable results. As for the name I would call it: Isaac, for obvious falling reasons. 🍎
