    “No I don’t climb, I’m a belayer” kick ass dude. Owning it like nothing else.

    Great job Petzl. We need more!!!
    His Slovene pronunciation was just PERFECT, even nailing the dialect. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!

    • @MPHshoots
      @MPHshoots 6 лет назад +13

      Jack Baker Belaying is a second part of climbing. It’s pretty much the person who is your life line, they stand and keep slack in or out of the rope that way if you fall you don’t die. Unless you Alex Honnold and find belaying dumb.

    • @GuillaumeBroust

  • @lawrencetchen
    @lawrencetchen 7 лет назад +75

    That first clip @4:21 though
    Also "In the winter, I head south to Spain to continue belaying" makes it sound like he's a migratory bird, haha

    "He doesn't even recognize human beings as existing. He is more using them as an object, in which he can interact with the art of belaying." 😂

    This man is an absolute legend. The best bro every climber needs, but might not deserve.
    Absolute god of a man.
    Hope to be even a tiny bit of a belayer that he is one day.

    My wife used to belay me all the time. In Kentucky 20 years ago, I look over and my wife is belaying a skinny young kid climbing way harder than me. It was Dave Graham. I thought my wife was the best belayer Dave.
