    Here is a backup to the backup of my backup. With the Prusiks you basically have 5 different points that can catch you. seems like an overkill to me.

    • @ripperkon

      I was not able to find any information to the Rollnlock used for that. And since the ropes should be redundant, a backup to each primary device was needed, in my opinion.
      But now I work differently. I started to use a more simple setup.

    I was really interested in this technique until I tested it. One of the Rollnrock jammed due to rubbing against the other one and stuck open (not good). Also, I'm not sure how you switch to a rapple device if you lose footing and have to switch in midair since you have both ropes under load !!!

  • @danieljamieson8515
    @danieljamieson8515 5 років тому +1

    To easy to jam your fingers on the rappel. The back ups you have in place beneath the rappel device need to be removed and if you want a back up it needs to be above the rappel device. If you slip and you bang your hands on the wall your fingers can get caught up in the gear below the device and get caught up with your full body weight on your fingers. I've seen it happen and it's not nice.

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  5 років тому

      EnduroDan Thank You. I startet using both ropes for rappel. And since I don’t use the prusiks anymore I make a new one also underneath the rappel device.
      I could also remove the rollnlocks for rappel. They are only there to safe time. Not as a backup.

    • @hoggif
      @hoggif 6 років тому +1

      From the vocal description I think it is for a backup using another manufacturer/device type, just in case prussik and roll-and-lock have fail.
      Anyway, I think the prussic knots can fail easily because they can get undressed by pushing up with the locking device and somewhat loose prussiks do not catch well. (If there were shock loads, prussics could tend to slip as well. No shock loads in this case as long as ropes feed through well and no slack loop is made). I personally don't like prussik knots for any backup application because of that. YMMV.
      I would find the concept something I could climb with but I prefer using different product/technology on the backup rope. Two different systems remove systematic operator errors and any odd cases where one system would not work well. (And probably I'd not bother with prussiks because I tend to find them very unlikely to work anyway when not constanly tended/redressed).

      When the hand clamps the Prusik, it also clamps the rope.

    Hi! Danke für deine guten Videos! Mich würde dein Toprope Anchor Setup interessieren.. Wenn ich es richtig erkenne gehst du oben mit 3 Reepschnüren / Statikseilen von je einem selbst gelegten/gebauten Fixpunkt über die Kante und dort 2 gegenläufige Karabiner. Welchen Knoten verwendet du im Seil? Das kann man leider schlecht erkennen, aber ich vermute einen Doppelten Palstek/Bulin? Danke!

      madbutt83 Ich nutze mal ne Reepschnur und manchmal die Standplatzschlinge von Edelrid. Ich mache dazu gerne demnächst mal ein Video ;)
      Der Knoten ist der doppelte Bulin. Einfach weil ich ihn leicht wieder öffnen kann und mir gefällt es besser, dass das Seil doppelt im karabiner liegt. Denke das ist von der Belastung auch schonender fürs sein. Und ja, zwei gegenläufige karabiner. Dann ist der Radius größer und ich bin auch sicher, wenn sich mal ein karabiner öffnet oder ich vergesse einen zu schließen.

  • @philipppuchner1115
    @philipppuchner1115 6 років тому

    Very nice! I also watched the video "Gesichertes Soloklettern - Toprope". My concern is: how good does this system work if the routes doesn't go straight up? And if it is slabby (wall with less than 90 degrees)? Also, it would be nice if this works with just a little weight, lets say your approach shoes. Then also abseiling would be more easy, would it? And if i hang my much more heavy backpack to the rope, does this force me to climb straight up? And then rappel down... what if i can't unhook my backpack? What if the backpack (or weight) comes undone by itself during the climb?
    Did you ever think of something else than a "Seilklemme"? Like a "mitlaufendes Auffanggerät", which works without teeth or something like that to grab the rope, but works internally like a GriGri?
    Like the Kong Back-Up. It works officially until down to 10mm ropes, all the other devices just down to 10,5 or 11mm ropes. There are devices like the CT easy move, Beal Monitor, the mentioned Kong back-Up, etc.
    Most of them, doesn't lock if weighted from the top, so not useable as a secondary device in my opignion, because the primary will fal onto the secondary und the devices is weighted from the top instead through he carabine connecting the device to you.
    Ho long are the prusiks? I believe my short prusik to rappel with a ATC guide tube is shorter than this. The prusiks should be longer than the length of the primary devices, right? Otherwiese the prusiks would lock instead of the CT RollNlocks?
    Does the prusiks also work (smoothly sliding up the ropes) if the rope isn't heavily weighted?
    To slide better, shoudl i use thicker cord as prusiks? So, i have 5mm here, should I go for 6mm + not the default ones, instead for the more lasting and stronger dyneema ones?
    Right now I have 1x Ropeman 2, 1x CT RollNlock, 5mm cord for prusiks, 1x Black Diamond Fifi hook, different carabiners (where do you get that stoppper rubber to prevent the RollNlocks from sliding down the carabiner?), 1x ATC Guide abseil device, 1x GriGri 2 with Freino carabiner, the default climbing equipment and 1x 70m 9.5mm Mammut Infinity classic single rope.
    At the crag we have "Sauschwanz" (pigs tail?) as Tops. Just tying a figure of 8 in the middle of the rope, put the loop into the Sauschwanz and back it up with another carabiner or quickdraw is enough?

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  6 років тому +1

      Thank you.
      On overhanging routes it pulls you a bit away from the wall. There it can be handy to clip a quickdraw to bring the rope closer to the rock. When the route is more horizontal, the weight on the rope sometimes doesn't pull the rope enought. So you will have to pull the rope by hand.
      It's doesn't need much weight to work. A heavy bag pack would push you to go staight up. So I only use this light and almost empty one. But not sure if approach shoes alone will work.
      When the backpack gets undone while climbing, it is still attached to the rope. So there is a bit more play in the system. And a fall would be a bit deeper. But if there is already enought rope underneath you, the weigh of the rope can be enought to pull it through the devices.
      The "mitlaufendes Auffanggerät" needs a fall. I personally like the fact, that I can just sit back so take a rest. But yeah, I allready thought about giving the Kong Backup a try. But then it's only one device and it's heavy, because you need to use a steel carabiner for it. And yeah, you are totally right with the fact that some devices will fails as a backup, if weightened from the top.
      Sadly I can not tell you the correct lenght. It requires a bit of testing. Because they should not be to long. Because then they can open up to much and will not lock. Or if to short they will lock when climbing. For now I mainly use this system without the prusiks. Since three devices on two ropes is still quite safe.
      The Prusiks add some friction. But the rope does not have to be heavily weightet ;-) I use 6mm Poliamid cord (With ropes from 7,9mm). Dyneema catches to fast and can get stuck to the ascenders. And aramid is to stiff, and might grap the rope to late.
      For anchor I allways prefer to build one out of two fix points and clip the rope in with two carabiners. So even then I am totally fucked up and forget to close one or both, I am safe. But that's just how I do it.
      I have allready seen people doing stuff like you said with the pigs tail. I think that's also fine. But maybe consider to let the pigs tail free. So if someone arrives he can still abseil without bringing you into danger.
      I hope I anserwed all your questions. If not, just let me know ;)

      I never did any climbing, only tried via ferrata, I am watching videos to learn, but I am guessing that because the system i doubled, you can put an overhander underneath, load both prusiks, remove one device and put rapelling device on, load it by unloading one prusik, if rapelling device is holding securely, remove overhander, unlock other device, unload prusiks and rapell down.

      Please find sometime to teach you, in person. Having a climbing mentor is the safest way to learn and stay alive! Top Rope Solo is an advanced climbing skill that requires knowledge of anchor building, proper equipment selection, climbing safety and much more. Climbing and especially TRS is about minimizing and accounting for risk. From the questions you've asked it's apparent these aren't skills you've yet acquired. You can learn much online but every rock/cliff/crag is different and you need a vast array of skills to adapt to the differing conditions presented when climbing.

    • @riverzdad5366
      @riverzdad5366 3 роки тому

      I do it this way and it’s kind of a pain in the ass sometimes. The trax runs smooth but since it doesn’t run through the gri gri smooth I have to stop once I get a decent size loop and pull the slack through the gri gri. Not a huge deal but can get old if you’re on a more technical climb and don’t have tons of rest spots to do it. The benefit is if you need to go down “right now”, I unlock the trax, then rappel down off the grigri rather than having to mess around with hooking up an atc and doing it that way.
      Also, the ways I do it I’m on a single line, I don’t double up like he did in the video. I either hook one end up to the top anchor and run it that way, or a new way I recently tried was to rig the top anchor like a normal top rope set up and tie yourself in as normal. Figure 8 through the leg and hip loops for the climber, then ALSO hook up a gri gri to your belay loop. Doing it this way is much faster when cleaning the top anchor. Clean your gear, run the rope through the mussy hook (or ring) then rappel down. When you’re at the ground just pull the rope through and you’re free and clear. If you do it the second way and run a gri gri be sure to hook your climber side of the rope on your RIGHT HAND SIDE. Doing it this way will keep the handle free and clear for rappels. If it’s on the other side, then the climber side of the rope will interfere with the grigri handle. I found this out roughly 50 up a face I was climbing. Got down but it was, interesting.

To prevent getting pulled out of the roof I had little weight at the end of my rope. When I pulled through the roof my prusik engaged and lifted the weight at the end of our rope. So I ended up with a ton of slack. When I went to correct it I was panicked and my heel popped. I fell, the rollnlock engaged, I was fine.
      It was the only time my system has ever messed up. The mistake was in my choice of route and the lessened weight at the end of the fixed line. It was dumb, but I wasn't really in danger.

    @emander1975 5 років тому +1

    Ist mir dann doch etwas zu redundant. Hast Du schon mal versucht auf Abseilen umzubauen, während das Seil belastet ist? Kann ja schon mal passieren, dass Du es nicht bis zum Umlenker schaffst, dann musst Du aus den belasteten Klemmen heraus auf die 8 umbauen um Abseilen zu können. Da Du die 8 nur unter den Klemmen einbauen kannst, dürfte das schwierig werden, zumindest wenn beide Klemmen auf beiden Seilen belastet sind. Aber vermutlich lässt sich ein Seilstrang irgendwie frei bekommen. Ich würd das Szenario auf jeden Fall mal durchspielen, so eine 8 rutscht einem schnell mal aus den Händen und dann hängst Du allein da rum. Ich persönlich nutze ein einfaches Grigri + 8mm Prusik am Einfachseil. Das lässt sich in nullkommanix auf Abseilen umbauen ohne dass mir das Grigri aus der Hand fallen kann. Besonders praktisch, wenn Du die Schlüsselstelle ausboulderst :-) Ansonsten gut erklärt... Danke fürs Teilen!

      Und dein Grigri mit Prusik läuft von alleine am Seil mit? Und bei einem Sturz lässt sich der Prusik lösen oder musst du ihn durchschneiden?

      ripperkon Hi nochmal, Grigri läuft nicht automatisch mit, muss nachgezogen werden alle paar Züge. Damit simuliere ich quasi das clippen beim Vorsteigen. Ist aber nur eine kurze Handbewegung. Der Prusik (8mm Klemmknotenseil....keine 6mm Reepschnur) läuft über dem Grigri und wird beim Seil durchziehen einfach mit hochgeschoben. Sollte das Grigri versagen (ist ehrlich gesagt noch nie passiert, nutze immer ein 11mm Seil, da blockiert das Grigri immer zuverlässig) beißt der Prusik. Will ich dann abseilen, ziehe ich einfach etwas Seil durch das Grigri und damit ist der Prusik entlastet und ich kann den aus dem Karabiner nehmen und mit dem Grigri abseilen.

      There are some threads on MP about using it as such. It's certainly not the perfect self belay device but it seems like it will likely find it's place in a soloist's quiver. Also check out the facebook group Rope Solo.

    1. You have two devices on two ropes. Why a third? 2. You have three devices. Why add two prussiks? 3. You are now about 5 times redundant, yet you put two devices on a single biner. Why? 4. You have two identical devices, when the general recommendation is to always use different type devices. Honestly, why publish a video of this setup at all?

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  4 роки тому +1

      The RollNLock is only rated for 400kg. I was not able to find any experience about using it in toprope solo. I was also not sure how it will work on the thin ropes I use.
      That’s why I used the prusiks. My new setup is much simpler.

    • @FlyfishermanMike
      @FlyfishermanMike 3 роки тому +1

      @@ripperkon I think the questions arise from the overly redundant and complicated setup you have here. The video is titled as a "how to" teaching video instead of a more experimental, testing a new setup, demo type video that I think you were going for. I appreciate the video and came specifically to see how you used the Roll N Lock. While it looks overkill I understand your reasoning for redundancy when testing a new setup or device. There isn't a TRS standard hence the variety of ways to accomplish the same goal. There are so many devices out now that can function as a TRS device but aren't meant, designed or tested to be one. Understanding the limits, risks and failure potentials of your system is a skill many watching this video may not possess. Again I think it goes back to your "how to" title instead of, "hey, watch me test my new TRS setup."
      No matter what climbing video you make you'll get "safety" feedback and criticism. At the end of the day your safety is your responsibility so do what you feel comfortable with. Climbing is so about recognizing and mitigating risk.

      The Grigri does not slide up automatically. And with only one device you are not redundant. At least a microtraxion AND an ascender. And in best case zwo rope Strands. You can find recommendations by Petzl on their website.
