Can You Rappel With an Ovo?
The Camp Ovo (also sold from Kong as the GiGi) is an excellent device for belaying two followers due the wide openings being optimal for 2, single rated ropes.
But can you rappel with it? If so, how? Find out!

Pack Out Your Poop!

GUIDE THOUGHTS: 💩 . Yep... We all poop. And it's gotta go somewhere. . For a long time, heeding nature's call (IN NATURE!) was a profound act of primal bliss. Now however, there are simply too many of us enjoying public lands to poop anywhere and there is better technology! Not to mention; not all environments are created equal. .

How To Pack A Backpack For Cragging
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.3 года назад
PACK A BACKPACK FOR CRAGGING: An organized pack is both more comfortable and balanced for the approach as well as less irritating when trying to locate that item you are looking for. This is how I prefer to pack my backpack for a day of cragging by packing items in the order I need them. . NOTE: I prefer bucket style packs (that you can throw things into while maintaining the ergonomic shape of...
Wind Slab Avalanche
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.3 года назад
There are many types of avalanches. This was caused by the wind moving a lot of snow from a windward slope to a leeward slope, creating a deep, hard slab of snow about 3.5' deep. The weight of my body, from a safe location on top of the slope, was enough to crack the slab, shatter it to pieces and cause it to slide down the slope below. The slope was around 30 degrees, which is a critical angle...
Transition To Rappel with Half/Twin Ropes
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
Half/Twin ropes make long, technical descents easier on many routes by allowing you to make full, 60M rappels and carry little extra weight while still giving you real ropes as options. Keeping them neat at a transition, however can be challenging. This method for preparing your rappel when the leader arrives to the anchor can help mitigate some frustrations and speed up the process. Instagram:...

Uncoiling Your New Rope
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.3 года назад
Many companies coil their ropes in loops with a machine. This process requires that the rope be uncoiled in the opposite direction that the factory coils were made, lest the new owner be burdened with frustrating pigtails for much of their rope's lifespan. This technique can help to make that process painless and quick!

For rappel transitions where one may wish to "pre-rig", the J Rig provides the ability to rappel without pulling your partner off of the ledge.

    this is good to know if you have two HMS carabiners on you but if you don't have a repel device on you you're more than likely are going to have two HMS carabiners on you unless you just constantly carry two just in case you drop your repel device

  • @Hansipansieiki

    yes, its fastest and easiest BUT if everyone does it like that the anchor wears down and has to be renewed

    follow your area's guidance around lowering vs rapping on fixed gear. Hes not wrong that lowering is safer, but you shouldn't be in this situation unless either option is safe for you anyways.

    This seems overly complicated over a munter or super munter and requires so much more gear. What is the advantage of this one over a plain munter? Around the alps, where I learned to climb, we often just rappel with a munter, even if we didn't drop a device... (and no, a munter does not destroy your rope, that's a myth that keeps getting propagated for some reason. It can twist it, but so do many other belay and rappel devices, and you can use the super if you really care for some reason. To be clear, neither I nor anyone else that has been rappelling with munters for years has ever had any issues with rope twist and never had any kinks... it's just another myth being propagated by people that never actually use it. Yes, it does twist it more, but come on, it's a rope, it untwists itself when you rappel) What is arguably more important is to use some sort of 3rd hand here, though. It kinda seems like you have in, but might be worth mentioning anyway.

  • @jeffreyschmidt3997
    @jeffreyschmidt3997 Месяц назад

    Isn't this a problem in that it fails to be redundant? I thought this was the reason we don't tie into the belay loop and instead use the two points through the harness

  • @erictrumpler9652
    @erictrumpler9652 2 месяца назад

    You shouldn't be damaging fixed gear by lowering on it.... the friction creates grooves with sharp edges that become dangerous to future climbers, and reduces the life span of the fixed gear.

      You can always rap without an extension - having one just makes it more comfortable and gives you more room for a rappel backup

    This guy is such a natural teacher - I love his videos. I was very sad to hear of his death. He had a lot of light to share. I don't know the specifics of his situation but all I would say is we are all in this together and if a friend is struggling reach out to them and if you are struggling reach out to others for help. Mental health is a heavy burden and simply put when we are sick we are sick - many things can help get people out of that valley - medications, therapy, etc. but it can be very hard to reason when you are in the thick of things and your mind is unwell. I wish his family and friends the healing they will continually need and I am grateful to this excellent teacher and the positive impact his videos will continue to have on others.

    Does this only work if the system is unweighted? Cause if somebedy is on belay you could just hit the mule overhand knot that way you dont have to worry about using up material
