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.
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.
The next evolution of the sport. Good to see rope jockeys pushing the boundaries of whats possible! Looking forward to reading his autobiography, Catcher in the Lime.
Some say he just came into being... others say he ascended downwards from the heavens... All we know for sure is we don’t deserve him. And yet, he’s here.
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.
BelayerGuy, you are awesome! That´s so much more worth than good climbing. Couse of guys like you, i can climb without worrying. One day i´ll be like you. Love ya!
Alpine Jesse is the World's Best Belayer and Almost Alpine is the world's best climbing mockumentary. The original was done several years ago by a few guys with no budget and big dreams. Here's the link to the ORIGINAL: ruclips.net/video/lNEdWMAwTKw/видео.html
I'm an identical twin or was sadly until last year and although Paul and i were insightful and sensory this guy takes it to a whole new level. Hilarious. Mark

So annyoing that they always interrupt the belaying shots with silly climbing..
haha! you right!
I'm ashamed at how long it took me to realize that this was a joke
Mark William I had to read the comments to find out....
You're not alone!
Wait......this......is a Joke?
oh i didn't realise until now lol
Why ashamed
This video has changed my life forever... today i stopped climbing so that i can put all my focus on the ancient art of belay.
well do not know what to say. Passion is better than talent ;)
This is the guy who belays Alex Honnold with invisible wire.
LOL
So pure !
Top comment
🤣🤣🤣
bruh I thought they just photoshopped the scene
“No I don’t climb, I’m a belayer” kick ass dude. Owning it like nothing else.
Captain thanks !
"has an incredible ability to be stationary on the ground"
I will pray hard to God tonight. If he really exists he will surely grant my wish of acquiring this ability.🙏🏽
That was amazing when he clipped the first draw by swinging the rope. Indeed the best.
Rodeo clipping bro ;).
Rumor has it Honnold did not truly free-solo El Cap. He was emotionally belayed by this guy
That's some proper advertising.
I heard he once belayed 8 climbers simultaneously......
with his feet......blindfolded
It would be awesome to have this unreleased footage! Do you have it?
Why were his feet blindfolded
@J. St :)
It's not the Stig.....
It's Stig's climbing cousin!!
@@andres177 the stigs belaying cousin, remember he doesn't climb.
The "I don't climb" and the drone scene just killed me.
Bahahahahaha!!!
Thanks!!
The Wilhem Scream at 6:02 tops it off for sample/audio nerds!
Rope Drag value on the HUD. :DD
Ok i completely cracked when he started speaking Swedish and literally said: Come on buddy! I am with you! Go on! Its cool!
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!
I feel left out as I don't understand what he's saying, being English makes me miss so many good jokes
the french was perfect too ! I wonder if he's french, there's a clip of him climbing the stairs near the BNF in Paris
God his cantonese was so good I could understand it too, it sounded impeccably fluent
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
Hah this came up in my feed and I was like what the heck is belaying? But now my life has changed for ever.. absolutely inspirational

Thanks! Appreciate! :-)
AAA it's sooo great! Everybody acted soooo well! How many takes they needed to do to not laugh?
dude this is nöt a jöke!
Thanks! Appreciate! :-)
We all know you only said that to prove that u knew it was a joke
what do you mean by "acted"?
This is possibly the greatest rock climbing video on RUclips
Lincoln City Films thanks !
Haha this is epic!
Eric Karlsson Bouldering When he started speaking Swedish
Eric Karlsson Bouldering Nice to see Said in the video!
Eric Karlsson Bouldering you need to get him to belay nikken so that he can give 110%
he'll be his shirtless power
When he started speaking Slovenian
"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." 😂
Best part
BTW 1:59-2:08 his Cantonese pronunciation is very good too! Since no one seems to be talking about that...
Dave Graham's straight face game is on point.
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.
Wonderful swedish accent! Couldn't belive my ears! Kom igen kompis...det är lugnt! Keep on rockin'
Pure genius - love this so much, and didn't want it to end!!
same for me! Amazing production and all the famous climbers giving a comment. Soo good!
The real genius comes from guys that made the original. It seems Petzl liked it so much they decided to "borrow it" www.almostalpine.com
Thanks for your feedbacks!!
Thanks for your feedbacks!!
4:54 - 5:07 Took me some time to find it but this is "The Moai - Tasmania". Opposite side of the globe for my fellow European climbers :P
Shit ! I hoped it would be somewhere in Europe. It's absolutely beautiful
Thank you ! I was searching that !

"I don't climb"
Well so much for multi-pitch.
sdpy nah he'll just jumar
Hes can just ascend no need for silly climbing
As I first saw the thumbnail I expected something serious... but love it 😍
This is funny, but in all seriousness a good belayer is the foundation of a good climber haha
BelayerGuy, you are awesome! That´s so much more worth than good climbing. Couse of guys like you, i can climb without worrying. One day i´ll be like you. Love ya!
I’ve never climbed anything in my life but this video had me pumped
Nice way of emphasize best practice in belaying
I would FALL in love with him
Dave Graham clearly had a lot of fun filming this piece. Really funny educational piece, great job Petzl!
One of the best Video from Petzl! Great Job and thanks for sharing! Greetings Tom
Dedication!! Positive vibes, cool spray, swagger, and the genes. I can only aspire to be so great!!
Possibly the best video I've ever watched after top rope tough guys
He truly exists ! I always thought he was just a legend !
In some way I think they were all serious. Underneath every great rock climber is a great belayer.
love the slowmo opening the case of belay devices
It was a great idea, first presented to the public in Almost Alpine
They were just missing the golden shining briefcase effect from Pulp Fiction.
world best belayer drive you safely at home after a night at pub ;)
Dave Graham was perfect for this
This video has motivated me I'm gonna start belaying in a tt helmet to try and be the best
This is one of the best videos on the internet
I'll be getting some this summer here in AZ. This dude is setting the standard!
Yes very well written! And from someone who trusts his life every day to Petzl. You captured the feeling. 👍
Love this!
haha😂😂😂j'adore ca m'a ouvert les yeux maintenant je comprends l'importance du rôle d'assureur...💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
"I only spent a few hours with him but wow" lol well played
Very funny video! I hope he belays me some day
Guys, even Chris Sharma couldn't get him to belay...! :))
I love this! I need to train with this dude…
And he doesn't even use belay glasses..
Luke Daniel He doesn’t need to; he has a drone.
i heard he can see around corners with his bare eyes
Of course not. His neck is stronger than an elephant.
Vous m’avez régaler la les gars 😂🤣
Et merci pour la traduction en français !
So funny, brilliant, outstanding, love it.
Basically the best Belayer is focused and pays attention to the details and never gets complacent.
This is the equivalent of a surf photographer. A necessary part of the sport, these guys are heroes.
By far the greatest testament to his skill is his ability to belay so well even with the anti-panic feature on the grigri plus.
😀
This video has such amazing camera angles and is so well done.
Brilliant, now I want to see the out takes and bloopers version 👍
I'm coming for you. My training schedule will be bumped up to 9 hours of belay a day and 4 hours spotting. Hehe, what a great video.
8:11 dat shining eyes of Dave
6:00 Wilhelm scream
Good to know that there is still people who watch our vids with headphones :-)
I heard it with good speakers. It was a fun touch :D
Took me right out. Thought it was all real until 6:00.
+Petzl Sport Nah just watched Star Wars too many times ;-)
Another at 8:16
Leonidio is just awesome :D Haha nice one!
Need that necklace 0:01 !
SAME
That hat
Me too!! Are they available?!
We all do..........we all do..
😂 trop drôle 🙏 j' adore 😁
Et aux passage, les falaises sont époustouflantes de beauté 🤩
NO WAY!! This guy ROCKS!! Literally
The hilarious comedy aside:
06:53
Damn! What an awesome shot!

grerat! top notch climbing umor, fresh content (with pro climbers), awesome camera and editing job!
happy to see that my compliment reached "the man"! keep doing your job and inspiring us!! the "epic+funny" content always delivers great results! :)
Just went climbing for the first time today and stumbled upon this. And in so glad I did. Hilarious
Genius! It feels like the Most Interesting Man In The World ads
One time Alex Honnold told me in secret that when he saw a queue of climbers to this guy he decided to climb free solo.
I recognized what should I do how to be a good belayer!!
Bravo! this was amazing. I only dream to be belayed by the worlds best belayer someday.
Belaying with Drone? What a shot!!!!
This is done so well. I mean, I fell in and out of thinking, "They're taking the Mickey, right?" Perfect.
Thanks !
That slow-mo jump back is 👌🔥
I think this is my favorite video
"You need to be a PhD in at least three different subjects" hahaha
this filming is amazing
I’m with you. Belay all the way...
I'm an identical twin or was sadly until last year and although Paul and i were insightful and sensory this guy takes it to a whole new level. Hilarious. Mark
Très amusant et bien realisé!
lmao!!! great video!! this is my new goal in life take this guys job and be the best belayer in the world!!
can we clone this guy!!! lol
Such a good belayer! She was climbing in Twin Caves sector, fell to Mars sector and he was still there to catch her fall!
Haha!
he's back!
Great idea PETZL, not only your gear is awesome :) Good Job
hahaha gotta love chris sharma
4:53 Where is this place?! It's amazing.
i need to know too
Honestly i want this guy on all my climbs
Music is so cool!
the pelican case was so cool!
It’s a great idea.... PETZL took from Almost Alpine
could u guys make e2 of this one? so much fun to watch it.
This needs to be a feature length film.
Don't be fooled: this IS a huge Petzl advert!
...but it is still hugely entertaining XD
Still one of the best parody/humor videos out there
Literal tear happening from this much laughter 😂😂😂
Awesome !
I genuinely had to look at the comments to see if this was a joke.
