The only bad thing is that grigri is not made for that situation, so in case of a fall (that I simulated) you have to be a fast thinker and grab the correct rope to help it engage

    A few obvious and easy to acomplish improvements: 1) A tree anchor prevents factor-2 falls, eliminating a big danger. 2) I pre-tie a in-line double fisherman knot between the anchor and the next bolt and at this point instead if a quick draw (carabiner) I use a quick link on both ends - making this your back-up anchor: the fishermans' will jam against the quick link. 3) a force limiter (screemer) as backbone in the back-up anchor (described directly above) and potentially the next bolt will add safety by limiting the hardest falls. 4) Consider adding a few loosely tied butterfly knots in the rope towards the anchor. The tightening of these during a fall will absorb energy, demishing the forces

    Thanks for the post! Did you see the comment I made about creating more of a dynamic catch by using a screamer in your bottom anchor? (Maybe even @ one of your draws too) Look at this video: ruclips.net/video/ZAeNwBb_WWI/видео.html I know it's aid, and I know he's younger but it seems he's been trained quite well. Also, if / when you get a triple action locking biner for your first point (instead of quick link) you can clip the rope back on itself Juuust in case ;) Subbed! Thanks for the videos. (Also, not saying you have to do this; just want your thoughts on it)

    • @PitsToPeaks
      @PitsToPeaks Месяц назад

      I’ve thought about using screamers. I actually have some for hard aid myself. I’ve found once I make it to my second piece the fall factor is low enough that falling doesn’t feel all that different than having a belayer. You can look at my “can I LRS 5.12” video to see that it’s fairly soft. My “the womb” video shows even with a high factor fall I came out of it fine. I will probably use screamers one day. At the moment I’m focusing on dialing in my system on easier climbs that I am unlikely to fall on. The guy in the video you linked is actually my buddy Timmy. I climbed with him in “climbing A3 with big Tim”. I do like his anchor system and that is probably what I will do if I ever use a screamer.

      You don’t need rated loops. Even if the gear loop rips off the carabiner will stay on the rope and pull tight against the grigri locking it down.

    • @PitsToPeaks
      @PitsToPeaks Месяц назад

      You would need a asap combined with a microtraction. If I understand the asap correctly it freely spins in both directions. It could be a backup to the grigri but it would not hold the slack side of the rope off the grigri causing it to lock.

  • @Connectpatagonia
    @Connectpatagonia Месяц назад

    Thank you for the video! I thought it might be helpful to pre-tie a second figure-eight knot at the anchor point for cleaning. This way, when you rappel, you can clip in easily without having to rely on your quickdraw being the right size for the knot. Thoughts?

    • @Connectpatagonia
      @Connectpatagonia Месяц назад

      Or would you just use your extended anchor leash to clip into the figure-eight knot as a backup with some slack?

    • @Connectpatagonia
      @Connectpatagonia Месяц назад

      Adding the anchor leash as a backup directly to the original figure-eight knot before you release the anchor. . In my mind, this would make you redundant. Does this make sense?

    • @PitsToPeaks
      @PitsToPeaks Месяц назад

      I have clipped straight to the figure 8 on the locker bolt. That works well. If the figure 8 knot can pass through the second quickdraw than it renders the quicklink of it in place of a standard carabiner pointless. The knot shouldn’t pass through the quicklink on the second draw, that is what makes the anchor redundant.

  • @novadea1643
    @novadea1643 Месяц назад

    If you put the carabiners with the cache loops the other way around it's much easier to free the rope as the gate opening will be on the bottom when you twist the carabiner upwards.

    You can also cut the hooks off the webbing and basically have a couple yates daisies, I suppose. I’m not sure what the advantage of the alfifi over two adjustable/releasable daisies is supposed to be. Seems like hype, and two Yates (or Skots) daisies are cheaper.
