Always use two devices when rope soloing, especially after you’ve identified a potential pitfall in your device. At the end you are rappelling off a single bolt when you have the option to use both. It’s one thing to do this on your own but to demonstrate these unsafe practices to other climbers is irresponsible
Get a 2nd device as a back up. I use a shunt on top and the roll n lock on bottom. Or you could use a camp lift or goblin. The Rollnlock is my secondary bc it is toothed. If you tie in the middle, only use one line in the shunt, dont use the shunt on two lines. Use the 2nd line as an escape line. An unweighted line saves time when switching over to a gri gri/atc. A hand ascender is good if you need to pull through a crux thats too difficult.
Do yourself a huge favor and ditch the shunt. There have been several documented accidents, most recently a 60’ ground fall, using the shunt to self belay. Petzl released a statement as well. The microtraxion is a much better backup device in conjunction with the roll n lock.
I like the Roll N Lock. I typically use 2 inline and separated at chest and waist on one line (weighted) and I have the grigri on the second line (unweighted) as a backup (third). Its a little overkill but its definitely safe. I use a 60m rope with a clove hitch on each line to twin bolted anchors. I have also used a single roll n lock and the grigri as well for climbs I know well or are easy.
I have seen people using the same system as you, 2 Roll N Locks, one attached to their harness and one ro the chest. I used to use a Jul by Edelrid instead of the grigri on routes that I already know because I have to be dealing with the rope more constantly.
Abseiling on one bolt when there is a second one right next to it, really? Same goes for tope rop soloing with only one device, really? Have you ever heard about redundancy? If you are not familiar with such concepts you shouldn't solo climb. And for everybody watching, take this as a bad example. Sorry for being harsh but in the worst case this could kill somebody. Stay safe and enjoy climbing.
It kills me metaphorically but more important will probably kill somebody else literally. Please do thorough research people and confer with a professional before engaging and such dangerous activities. Please climb safe everybody.
So if you fall through midair or facing away from the rock, all is good. But if there’s the slightest possibility of sliding down the rock facing in, you’re likely to hit the ground.
I wonder how much research he did before posting this video? Overall not helpful. Anybody seeing this, watch (at least) 10 more videos about TRS before climbing alone using high risk and unsafe practices (one device, rappelling on a single bolt). I use this device but with more safety measures and more information.
Hey. Can I ask you what do you think about this device on 1 biner and then a steel ring on another biner to catch stopper knots if this device fails? So 2 biners off your harness to facilitate the 2 safety systems and you just periodically add slack in and tie/untie as and when
When I got the device, it was advertised as ascender, but based on the definition, it can be considered a progress capture device. For my anchor knot, I used an alpine butterfly knot.
I am usually not critical of an instruction video on RUclips but, this is one of the worst rope solo videos out there. If you are new to TR soloing seek out some more knowledgable instructors/ videos if you want to have an extended TR solo career.
Not anascender. Progress capture. People please slimb safe. This device is not ment for this.

Yeah, he should be watching RUclips videos instead of making them.

Yes, I agree with Adam Stone, the shunt is DANGER for self-belaying.
at the very least he should back himself up with knots in the rope, a second devise is a good idea as well

The background music was still good tho, jus sayin
@@internjared A La 90s pop punk as you deck. You get free Blink 182 tickets if you catch ‘em on the first bounce.

Your 0121 Rollnrock need to be REPLACE becouse it can go from HOULING MODE TO PULLY MODE ITSELF!!

It's a progress capture device? What top anchor knot are you using?

Lose the background music, which does nothing but distract!
