Big Wall Starter Gear
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- It can be quite intimidating to think about starting a highly gear involved sport like big wall climbing, I made this video to hopefully help some folks out by giving them a starting point of amount of gear to aim for. This is all the sort of core gear that you would need for more simple clean big walls, and you can easily add onto this for more complex walls in the future.

Killer video! Looks like a lifetime of fun!
This video is so incredibly helpful, considering there's not many videos like this out there, so thank you! Also do you have a GoPro? I thought I saw a mount for one on your helmet... I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to see some first person climbing footage!!
Thanks man, I do have a GoPro, I'm still sort of working out the bugs, but I am planing on making some first person climbing videos. I just need to climb something that's actually cool enough to make a video first!
@@ryantilley9063 Awesome, I totally get it. I'll be looking forward to those videos nonetheless!
Very excited for the big wall series! Great video
Great video. You explain everything well. Thanks for uploading
Thank you for this video, especially the aid climbing rack was very useful. Please consider doing a video on your opinions on the Trango ball nutz at some point, because I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about them but want to consider buying them
Ya the Ballnutz seem to have a lot of hate from folks but I think they are useful for certain areas, I have a video coming out talking about how to place them, but I'll make one in the future about my opinions on them after I got a chance to use them a little more, so far they've only really come in handy for big wall and aid climbing. Thanks for watching!
Informative video! Thanks!
Another good video, much appreciated - thanks Ryan!
Thanks for the video man great info. I'm solo aiding good tips
Just a curiosity: is there many (if any) rock climbing outlets in the US? Always get crazy when I see so much gear on all you all
(this is a question from Portugal, where we always have crazy prices for rock clinbing gear.... Even to get a Patagonia jacquet is almost impossible (now some places are selling a few items
Great video this one!
Cheeers
Bigwall rack without totems ? YGD. Haven't seen any good bigwall hauling videos around so I hope you get around to it.
I know right, those totems are really nice, a bit on the expensive side though, I only use them when my partner has a couple!
Man this is beautiful. I'm not at the end yet, but sheesh, this gear looks like 10s of thousands of dollars. (To a guy that doesn't know what he's even looking at, I'm imagining a high price tag.) Hard sport to get into, price-wise, eh? Again, excellent video.👍
Hey Ryan, great vid as always! So I came about 600ft 11mm static rope. My intention was to get a 45m 10mm for rigging and as a backup to test fall on pro but this is what I got. I'm planning on cutting it into multiple lengths. What do you recommend as far as useful lengths? I was thinking of 45m for rigging and maybe a 70m for hauling... Is 70m length standard for hauling? I know you said 10mm is already kinda overkill for a haul line but I kinda already have this one and might give it a shot. Thanks in advance for the help
I would say you only really need a 60m for hauling, most bigwall routes don’t have pitches that would require a 70m rope, I personally only use 60m ropes for big walling because it’s just carrying around more rope and more weight with a 70 with no useful advantage (it just makes more work for you.) whatever rope you have left you can use for rigging, I’m no master of rope rigging but at least you can have a little more rope for that application, thanks for watching!
Have you weighed all this? I’m interested in how much all this would be to carry?
I haven’t weighed everything in the pile, but you can always bet that you’re going to be carrying a lot of weight for any bigwall rack!
For red rock here in vegas, should I get 60 cm slings or 120 cm slings? I'm looking to purchase some alpine draws and I was just curious.
Thanks for all of your great videos.
60cm slings are great for alpine draws, that's really all the extension that I've felt I needed while climbing. It's pretty uncommon to need a 120cm sling for extending a piece but it does come in handy some times. The majority of your extending draws are usually 60cm slings.
@@ryantilley9063 thank you so much!!
13:11 Every time I hear "docking"......
is ti fine to use a 10years old rope for hauling ?
