    please can you repeat this video with your intended explanation re anchor points shown & involved. assuming you mean building a belay station with: two bolted points, not; 3 or more "trad" points. ------ is ring loading of this knot safe & acceptable? your mention as an alternative to the alpine butterfly leads to this question. ------ you mention that the bowline on the bight weakens the sling less than fig8 on the bight or overhand on the bight, can you back that up with % strength reduction values? ------- the video discusses using this as a masterpoint in an equalised anchor. is it safe to clip the "shelf" in this scenario? -------- cheers!

    Great video! Question: couldn't you just tie the prusik ABOVE the tube (with the other end to your belay loop or tie ins)? That way you wouldn't need to extend the tube with a sling, there's no danger of the prusik getting jammed in the tube, and you could let go of the brake hand if you needed to be hands free as the prusik will suspend you. Obviously your guide hand would be on the prusik as you rappel to control it.

    • @TakeTheHighground
      @TakeTheHighground 15 дней назад

      Thanks! So the difference would be that in this variant the prusik would replace the whole setup, including the tube and would need to hold the full bodyweight. Hanging full body weight on a prusik can lead to mantle damage (and worst case mantle slip) on the rope. With the suggested setup from the video, the prusik would only need to replace the force applied by the brake hand, and the tube would still hold the full Body weight (for which it is made).

      One follow up question...Why do you choose an overhand knot on the sling? Will it not difficult to untie if it gets loaded? Would a figure 8 be easier to untie? I'm asking out of humble ignorance. 👍

    This is a good review and whilst it isn't important from a certain perspective, people would love to know how it looks/puffiness or the general aesthetic on a person. There are much cheaper brands that do the same thing but people love Patagonia's principles as a company and how the garments look. So perhaps some talking points whilst you're wearing it and explaining the fit would also be good, how the arm length allows for movement etc, or just generally does it also look nice. Just an analysis.

    Great video man! I would like to ask for your boot recommendation for me. Recently I have done a hiking trip in Südtirol, which included some exposed sections, but nothing too extreme. I realised, that I would like to advance in this hobby and probably pass basic mountaineering course. Where I live - the closest mountains are Tatras and I also plan to learn "hiking" on glaciers in Alps. For warm weather I have Keen Circadia Mid. Which boots would you recommend for lower altitude winter mountaineering(Tatras) and summer glaciers in Alps? Or these are 2 different pairs of boots?

    • @TakeTheHighground
      @TakeTheHighground 4 месяца назад

      Thank you! So, it’s always difficult to choose a boot for someone else without knowing their exact circumstances (e.g. how cold are your feet, which crampons do you intend to wear, etc.). But for summer Alpinism and winter hiking (AND since you already have the lightweight Circadian) I would likely go with something more robust like the Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro / La Sportiva Nepal Evo or Cube. I have the Scarpa, my wife the La Sportiva, choose the one that fits your foot. The Scarpa is well enough isolated to do anything in winter (I had -45 Celsius bivouacs with it), it’s technical enough to do 80-90% percent of the normal summit routes in the alps, super sturdy, you can use full-auto crampons (which will compensate for the a little higher weight compared to e.g. something like the Scarpa Ribelle which will be too cold for winter), and it’s breathable enough to not get you wet feet in the summer. Hope this helps.

    Hi Fabio. Quick question. At 16:40 you mention that putting the rope throu 2 carbiner will twist it badly. Could you please explain why, meaning what causes it and when?. Because common sense indicates that it won't. Thank you.

    • @TakeTheHighground
      @TakeTheHighground 5 месяцев назад

      Hi Lukasz, sure, so I know it from experience but at some point I was looking up the reason. My understanding is that tangles happen if the rope is loaded and runs over an edge (in this case through the carabiner), while both ends are twisted in different directions. When rappelling one thing that twists the rope is movement inside the carabiner (if it moves within the carabiner it’s actually a rolling motion due to friction, instead of a sliding motion). The carabiner is the roll axis and both ends are guided through the rappelling device, hence with only one carabiner the both sides of the edge (e.g. the carabiner) move at the same time in the same way, hence you don’t get tangles. If you put a second carabiner into this equation, you introduce a second edge and „split“ the rope in three sections. Even if both long ends would move exactly the same way in both carabiners (which they obviously don’t since you won’t be perfectly centered when rappelling), there would still be a piece of rope between the two carabiners that is not in sync with the movement of the longer parts. It’s quite hard to explain in writing but I hope this makes sense. Its the same reason why you have to pull the rope through after lowering somebody on a longer lead sportclimb. The rope runs over various edges and the climber moves/twists independently from the belayer.

    Hypothetically, to belay upside down, it seems like the best way to set it up would be to have the velay device on a seperate loop attached to the belay loop on the harness, and then put the prusik directly on the belay loop with no stand off, so you can go inverted without needing to change the setup. Does that sound about right?

    Munter, Eaton, dulfersitz are some of the first things I show, when teaching how to rappel. Knowing how to descend when you’ve lost your device, have only 1, or no carabiners is important knowledge to file away. As well, being prepared to ascend doubled ropes is an important backup bit of knowledge. Whether with slings, shoe laces, or QuickDraws.

    I appreciate your honest review on mountaineering boots. I haven't climbed for quite some time, but I have the urge to do so. I usually resort to LaSportive for mountain climbing, 14ers, and Scarpa for serious winter conditions and ice climbing. When I first started climbing 14ers I had found the Super Hiker ll boot that Vasque was making back in the 1990's, but then they were taken over by China so I went to LaSportive unfortunately I wore them out, so I am looking for a comparable one made nowadays. So yeah, I am much older but still in pretty good shape, I just want to climb some more before I can't. Great video though.
