Good call on the overhand on a bight below the friction hitch as a backup and to prevent losing the middle. first time I've seen that and it makes so much sense.
leaving the rope in a pile at your feet, not attached to anything is a bad idea. I've rescued 2 parties over the years that untied at the chains and then proceeded to drop their rope
Hahaha- nice one @PapP148. Rappelling from the bottom is an advanced technique I learned from a Warner Brothers cartoon, but it can't be done if you believe in gravity. Thanks for watching!
Well I just bough a harness and rope and caribners and self belley system and 2 strans of 60m of rope from REI. Let’s hope I don’t get stuck hanging from my back porch trying to learn 😅
That PAS is static cord. It's not rated to take a fall from above. It could shock load and fail. You should never be above your anchor on a PAS or static cord.
I thought about that too. honestly, I know some people would do all these manouvers without even clipping the sling to the anchor, just confidently standing there. I rarely climb with a dynamic sling, I use dynema, so I'd probably just be careful and have it clipped like he did just in case

How do you rappel from the bottom?

Never stop learning!
where is that place you are? it has a very nice view
Getting a lot of abrasion across the sheath of the rope on that rock when making your piles pulling through the chain links.
I believe you meant harpoon when you were talking about torpedoes.
@@skillsforclimbing Great videos, really enjoy your channel!
Snake river?
I knew you were in that general area, there's some good climbing, I need to make a trip down there this summer.
