My ex did this. I left him for it. Dum azz nearly got hit like 20 times. Then he’d road rage at the people HE almost hit because of his lack of driving skills.
Yall clearly don’t climb. Yelling rope is just to let people know it’s coming down so they look away. You’re on a small ledge anchored into the wall, you can’t move out of the way anyway.
Fr, my heart absolutely caught in my throat. Even though I consciously *knew* something like that can't be posted w/o being swiftly taken down. Early internet days really scarred me. 😰
I think thats why he focused on the rope with his camera; he's no dummy and knows the dangers, but also has faith in his preparation and skills and ability. This clearly isn't his first time doing this...he is seasoned in this activity.
I'd strongly advise you to stand behind the coil of rope as you throw it off the edge - that cartoon comedy trope of the rope snagging the characters ankle and pulling them over the edge is 100% based on real life.
That’s good advice. I was still secure via my personal anchor when I threw the rope, but certainly something to think about if one is standing freely on a ledge.
@@EthanHeinrichs I didn't get pulled over the edge either, but I did get a nasty rope burn on my ankle and cuts and scrapes and where I fell to the ground.
@@EthanHeinrichs That anchor is not securing much, you basically are standing free there. Yes, you won't fall off if something swipes your feet, but you are still gonna bodyslam the rock.
i guess i have watched too many movies because when that rope started gaining speed i kept thinking it was going to wrap around your ankle and drag you off the cliff lol
I always checked what gear I left any car I drive in by taking it in and out of gear after starting. One day I had a moment and didn’t with a work truck that had been backed up to a house to pass solar panels. What I wasn’t aware of was someone else moving it out and then back and they had, with much genius, parked it in reverse while downhill about a foot away from a house. I went to take off thinking it was in 1st when it was really reverse and smashed their wall in.
Takes like 6 seconds longer, and that adds up over time. 99% of the time there won’t be someone in the way of the rope and if they’re a safe climber they’re probably going to have a helmet on
Yall clearly don’t climb. Yelling rope is just to let people know it’s coming down so they look away. You’re on a small ledge anchored into the wall, you can’t move out of the way anyway.
“He was wearing a helmet and heard my warning, he might’ve fallen 40 feet off this cliff but at least he heard me yell rope!” Give them a second after calling rope so they know to move. That’s like seeing a car about to hit your friend and you wait until it’s 5 feet away to tell them to move
You don't really avoid it, even if they give you a countdown you can't guess where it is going to land. You tuck your arms and hope the helmet takes to punch and do not look up.
Once before starting my plane I yelled “clear prop”as you do, I waited for a response and got one, if I had started nothing would of happened but it was so close I need to stop for safety there was this kid playing hide and seek behind my plane as I was about to start it scary as heck
I am glad he heard you man. You both are lucky nothing tragic happening. Practice projecting for next time! And wait a 5 or 10 seconds perhaps before throwing, enough time to prepare
Yall clearly don’t climb. Yelling rope is just to let people know it’s coming down so they look away. You’re on a small ledge anchored into the wall, you can’t move out of the way anyway.
It's not like someone climbing can move away from a rope. What you can do is tuck, and don't look up. Getting a rope on your helmet while bracing isn't that bad. Getting it in your face, looking up.. Sucks.
It's almost like he hasn't put together the fact that a warning is meant to, you know, warn people of something and let them react appropriately. If you don't give them the time your warning was useless.
But it's a matter of the climber looking up and getting hit in the face versus hearing the warning, facing the wall and tilting your head so he gets hit on the hat at worst.
It’s always awesome when you are doing your favorite hobby in a quiet place and you meet someone who is really cool and chill, and just wants to share something nice.
Safety is always important! I work as an electrician and always yell "Fire in the hole!" When i turn on equipment, even when people arent nearby. One day, i went to throw a switch, didnt think anyone was near, yelled it, and my coworker ran out from.behind the machine. He didnt know i was there and i didnt know he was there. Good on ya guys!!! Looks really fun!
I am learning rock climbing and rappel in a university class and they taught us to always wait at least 5 seconds after the yell to actually throw the rope, to wait for the yell of anyone so we don’t hit them. If you tell while throwing the rope, it would be pointless because you will still be hitting the person with the rope which is what you want to avoid :)
I had similar experience with a friend few weeks ago..I didn't have time to move away either, sooo... we reached the conclusion that might be even better to wait a bit between the warning and throwing
Lol got a story on something similar from when I was doing ironwork on power plants, ethanol plants, and whatever. Our rule of thumb if anything was dropped or knocked off like a bolt, washer, tool, or whatever you shouted loud and clear "HEADACHE" to warn anyone in the structure. Most any other ironworker squeezes into a column, under, a I-beam or lip, or just tries to make the smallest profile he can while covering head and shoulders. Except... all to often it was other trades below and if someone shouted headache they would literally look up and gawk at everything above them. So depending on the jobsite and job settings we wouldn't say anything because we would rather they took a hit on the top of a helmet than right in the face.
Oh yeah I work in theater and we do something similar when working overhead. If something falls the call is HEADS in most places in town, but I know different locales will have different words. We also warn for things like loud noises and such
In rock climbing when you hear someone above say "rock!" you are actually supposed to look up to see where it's coming from and move accordingly. The body has enough of a reflex to move away from an object you can see coming at you. Curling up and being small is a bad idea because the rock is usually not small--we're taking sizes from apple through kitchen sink... no helmet will protect you from that. The ice chunks--maybe.., they just slide off the helmet (the impact can still break your shoulder or give you a stiff neck or worse). But a rock with hundreds of sharp edges on its surface will actually scour the helmet surface, and the kinetic energy of the rock itself then catastrophically propagates the crack. I've seen a friend killed like that, and know of many brain injuries from rocks the size of an apricot.... I rarely climb on chossy cliffs for that reason, too spooked.
For this to work, of course, everybody on location must know this. Did you try to explain to your trades people below what it means (and what to do) when you yell headache?
There is good reason why in other professions we shout warnings multiple times (or counting your action in), making sure people have heard it, and also giving time for someone to get to safety or shout back to abort. Always understand why safety practices/precautions exist and never get complaisant in how you do them. Sods law is that it'll bite you (or someone else) the one time you don't do it properly
No one will respond, it’s to give people warning something is coming down and to look down. You can’t get out of the way because you’re anchored in on a small ledge with no room to move anyway.
Hey at least you yelled, I was climbing with some friends and they pulled a rope down but didn’t yell, and a guy got whipped in the eye by the end of the rope. Thankfully we were blessed and he didn’t get seriously injured
I started saddlebagging my rappels and now I’ll never go back. Most people give up after failing a few times with tangles, but now it’s faster and safer than throwing rope. No tangles, no issues on windy days, no getting caught in trees, no danger to other climbers.
Me too. Esp on broken rock. But most people are too go-go-go to stop and realize that a bit of extra time invested before rappel in holstering/saddle-bagging the rappel rope saves a lot of time during the rappel, not to mention if there are people below.
@@h20iscool No way you just said reflexes, shit is not a reflex that's a full ass thoughtful dodge right here, and don't you know how difficult it is to move out of the way when suspended 300 meters in the air attached to a rock ? 😭
As someone who has worked with anchors you standing that close to that rope is extremely dangerous doesn’t matter if there’s no weight you trip on it game over
It’s like in a theatre, you always yell “going dark” before the lighting crew turn off all the lights, so everyone knows to stop what they are doing and be careful of the darkness
If you’re climbing in an area with lots of adjacent routes, it’s best to yell “rope down ‘name of route’” to be more specific. Then wait three seconds and yell “rope” again, then toss.
Can you do a video on how you set up the top of the repel to be able to go down on one strand and still retrieve your rope? I saw you were doing something fancy there but I don't quite understand it and this would be super useful!
@@oleyholmes1989 I skip the biner in most situations the ring is small enough for the knot. Also sometimes I'll rap of both even knowing the 6mm pur line will pull through faster. Climb a lot of alpine and places where I can't get my rope stuck. Having some more tools in the toolbox really helps in some tricky alpine climbs.
@@poolkrooni if the description sucks I wouldn't recommend this. They have a 9.? Dynamic with a pur line. You can look up how to rap with pur line but you have to do a biner block in most cases. Feed the dynamic rope through the rings Tie an overhand go two feet tie and overhand again (the pur line is slippy) Now do your biner block how ever you want to 8, overhand some funky one won't matter Clip biner to dynamic rope Rap and pull pur line (micro traction can be helpful) Love this setup for rapping but it has extra steps and bringing a similar diameter rope is easier since you can rap both at the same time with no biner block.
buy the book “Down” by Andy Kirkpatrick. Its cheap for info that can likely be life saving. Rappelling is when the bulk of climbers die or are seriously injured. Its easy to get complacent because it seems so simple but little mistakes or even things beyond our control can easily result in your demise. Always bring headlamps and some emergency tat cord or webbing (plus a knife) for multi pitch climbs. Learn how to extend your belay device and trig a “third hand” back up below the belay device (which is why you extend it) and always double check everything + do budy checks. Climb safe and have fun.
I was working in telecommunication once. Mounting 3G systems back then. Whenever something, let say "unexpected" was about to fall, we were screaming "grenade!". Once in a month we were screaming fake "grenades" on prank on the beginning but those drills we've made actually saved some guys from falling object.
They’ll collect removable gear on the way down, the rappel rope is most likely fed through a permenant anchor at the top that they’ll just pull it all the way through and have it fall to the ground. One person climbs all the way down, becomes a belayer for the second person. Second person removes gear as he or she passes it.
ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY IN ANY SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT!!!! A good example my friends was like why u still using ur blinker when literally no ones is around…its a good habit for safety!

We always yell heads up 3 times when we drop pallets off roofs at my work for this exact reason
That’s like yelling “ball” when u just spiked a volleyball to someone’s head😭
I got a friction burn in my ankle as the rope slide down just like in your video, be careful out there!
i can confirm this, i was the helmet
nos you know to wait 10-15 seconds before throwing it, so whopper is below has time to move 😂😂😂
Bros friend chilling and dancing like nothing happned😂
Friendly Fire
-5 Credits, -5 XP
That’s like playing golf and only yelling FORE when the ball is 1’ away from someone’s head 😂 give him a few seconds lol
As someone who has worked with anchors you standing that close to that rope is extremely dangerous doesn’t matter if there’s no weight you trip on it game over
I’m still tied into my PAS in this clip. You’re right to point out the safety concern though!
He has to agree with you because it's his channel but you are a moron.
@@EthanHeinrichswhat's the song at the end? It's on the tip of my tongue
My fear of heights would never let me I'd be stuck halfway up from the bottom
In the restaurant industry, we always yell out things like knife, heard, etc so that there's a clear form of communication
It’s like in a theatre, you always yell “going dark” before the lighting crew turn off all the lights, so everyone knows to stop what they are doing and be careful of the darkness
If you’re climbing in an area with lots of adjacent routes, it’s best to yell “rope down ‘name of route’” to be more specific. Then wait three seconds and yell “rope” again, then toss.
"There never is anyone in the way but this time there was and they got hit" implies maybe your warning is the issue :)
Can you do a video on how you set up the top of the repel to be able to go down on one strand and still retrieve your rope? I saw you were doing something fancy there but I don't quite understand it and this would be super useful!
@@oleyholmes1989 yeah as mentioned, we're gonna need a video 😅
@@oleyholmes1989 I skip the biner in most situations the ring is small enough for the knot. Also sometimes I'll rap of both even knowing the 6mm pur line will pull through faster. Climb a lot of alpine and places where I can't get my rope stuck. Having some more tools in the toolbox really helps in some tricky alpine climbs.
@@poolkrooni if the description sucks I wouldn't recommend this. They have a 9.? Dynamic with a pur line. You can look up how to rap with pur line but you have to do a biner block in most cases.
Feed the dynamic rope through the rings
Tie an overhand go two feet tie and overhand again (the pur line is slippy)
Now do your biner block how ever you want to 8, overhand some funky one won't matter
Clip biner to dynamic rope
Rap and pull pur line (micro traction can be helpful)
Love this setup for rapping but it has extra steps and bringing a similar diameter rope is easier since you can rap both at the same time with no biner block.
buy the book “Down” by Andy Kirkpatrick. Its cheap for info that can likely be life saving. Rappelling is when the bulk of climbers die or are seriously injured. Its easy to get complacent because it seems so simple but little mistakes or even things beyond our control can easily result in your demise. Always bring headlamps and some emergency tat cord or webbing (plus a knife) for multi pitch climbs. Learn how to extend your belay device and trig a “third hand” back up below the belay device (which is why you extend it) and always double check everything + do budy checks. Climb safe and have fun.
I was working in telecommunication once. Mounting 3G systems back then. Whenever something, let say "unexpected" was about to fall, we were screaming "grenade!". Once in a month we were screaming fake "grenades" on prank on the beginning but those drills we've made actually saved some guys from falling object.
It reminds me of Japanese Spider-man shouts Supaida Sutorin while throwing webs.
Whats with the dancing guy LOL 😭
It’s like parents knocking on your day saying “can i get in?” And immediately open the door and get in
How do you get equipment back?
They’ll collect removable gear on the way down, the rappel rope is most likely fed through a permenant anchor at the top that they’ll just pull it all the way through and have it fall to the ground. One person climbs all the way down, becomes a belayer for the second person. Second person removes gear as he or she passes it.
Bro has no sense of fear, true man.
dude your way to brave i could never do it
How do you get the rope inclined from the top when you repel to the bottom
That one friend who throws something at you and says "think fast" after throwing
This is the equivalent of Scout lobbing a live grenade at you and saying "Think fast chucklenuts!"
Wait he still got hit !
ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY IN ANY SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT!!!! A good example my friends was like why u still using ur blinker when literally no ones is around…its a good habit for safety!
same as me yelling on a cliff, “poop!” you never know
😮
did not yell loud enough or wait long enough...
