Depends on the type of advanced climbing. The bad habits aren't really in the learning stage I agree with you there. The habit I am referring to is keeping a looser hand on the brake strand. Because the gri gri cams the rope you don't need to hold the brake strand as tight, so your muscle memory will build on that feedback. I've had people disagree on this and thats ok I think it's cool to share your differing opinion, no way to really "test" it

True a flat overhand is a very common way to attach two ropes. Double fisherman used to be the standard but flat overhand has become the new. What do you use?

Pew pew

Not a fisherman's knot, that uses two single overhand knots to join two pieces of rope. This is a stopper knot, also known as a double overhand. You can use this knot to join two ropes awell, that would be a double fisherman's knot, that's probably what you were thinking of.

@@allieellese7034you took the words out of my mouth thanks for helping our friend out here

Building anchors at the top of climbs or extending gear! I have a free community where I teach this stuff if you want to join www.skool.com/climb-clear-academy-6044

Yeah I haven’t experimented much so it’s hard to say, I’ve always done the twisty method but tried this on my practice bolts about 20 times before posting this. I could see it being harder to unclip the big bundle than the previous method or around the shoulder. Always good to have multiple tools in the toolbelt

Probably grab a rope haha

Nice that makes total sense if you are using it at half length as well 🤘

@@ClimbClear that said, I never use it half because it doesn't extend conveniently.

That's another way for sure!

So many ways depending on the context, thanks for sharing that though!

Not trying to game the algorithm, just learned something cool and wanted to share

Nice I just tried that one, I'll have to experiment some more, I've been using the twist method from my previous video for years but so many different ways commented on this video on instagram and youtube, time to test them all out! thanks

@@ClimbClear Twisting is great for racking and storage. Imo not as versatile/quick of a deployment for extending traditional protection on lead

@@kaibeattie2093 totally agree. It deploys less quickly with the twist which is why I was excited about this one but I’ll have to try your method

@@kaibeattie2093 makes sense!

Nice addition! Depends on the context. On this channel I focus mostly on single pitch sport climbing so this is primarily used at the top of a sport climb. Always welcome comments on other techniques as there is so many different ways and applications. I like a good discussion on techniques and skills!

To add, if I'm following on a multi and plan to use the runner again I definitely use the method you said, it makes much more sense for that context.

It’s a good alternative!

Cheers!

That’s the problem with the quad, can’t expend it as long (this can be double the distance when extended) wrap around trees and rocks. A lot of climbers learn a quad and think it’s the best anchor ever, it’s not. It’s very non flexible to variable anchor situations

Not to mention that the cordelette is a very versatile tool with many uses. The quad is not.

@@EricCraig-km4sb yessir. Quad has its uses but not always better. Good place to start for single pitch sport climbers though

Gotta keep learning 🤘

Winner winner

Definitely not a main type!

Thanks buddy 🤘

Do you mean really highball bouldering?

Not really a "main" type

lol I don’t know how to invite people on youtube! feel free to hit the link on my profile, I’d love to get you in there!

A very underlooked item, but if I had to choose between that and the sock I don’t know which I would choose

ATC in guide mode, but setup wrong both times.... no bueno

Legendary

Sick! This is lost in space just on the other side of the wall!

Yuuuuup

Why? It makes perfect sense. I hate that people object to this. ATC requires a serious amount of skill. Unless you know someone very well, you just don't know if they have that skill. There is no way for you to know how they will react under pressure or stress, even if they demonstrate they can do it right in a low-pressure situation. The grigri requires only one thing...that the brake strand is below the device,. That's it, if you do that, it will save your life. So it's not rocket science why people want you to use it. It's literally safer. It's kind of elitist to act like you're too good for one. People freak out under pressure all the time. What if the leader takes a fall close to you and ends up about to kick you in the face? WIll you let go of the brake? Do you even know? Are you really in charge of your own nervous system? Not really. So stop giving people a hard time about asking you to do the SAFE thing. P.S. if you know how to use an ATC, you know how to use a grigri, the fundamental principle is exactly the same.

@@geometerfpv2804 I have to disagree on the last part. I think grigri is plenty different than ATC. Giving slack to the leader and lowering especially. So if you have never used a grigri before you're going to give a shitty belay. So if the climber is experienced ATC user, I see no need to force them to use something they are not familiar with. I usually ask new partners how many years they have been climbing. That gives me a rough idea on how experienced they are. And I don't usually climb with people I don't trust.

Glad you like them! I’m trying to share what I can

✨

Most trad climbers bring a few quickdraws up to extend pieces. Thanks for pointing out the dogbone length thats something I forgot to cover. I also have the standard 12cm ones only, they've served me pretty well but maybe if I was climbing regularly is a wandery area I would want longer ones. Very location dependant. Hoping this video helps some new climbers though because I found it hard to learn when I started.

I think the problem with wire gates on the rock side is that their nose might get stuck on the sharp latch of screw on bolt when clipping it in? If this happens, the gate does not close and thus it significantly lowers the breaking load. However, I suppose this is usually not a problem for sport climbing since you are never secured by only one of them.

Nice yeah 240 is pretty solid but also quiet large, theres really no "right" answer and we can only share our experience and knowledge. Thanks for commenting whats working for you!

Haha I do have a bunch of go pro footage maybe I'll chop up some more and get it up here!

Me too 👍

Yeah buddy, keylock (no notch) solid bent gate for clipping is the best in my opinion

My pleasure! Thanks for the support 🚀
