      6:40 incorrect, it would have been a factor 1 fall. but still terrible with the rope wedged where it was.
      To be a factor 2 fall he would have to be 10' above the point where the rope was caught (if there was 10' of rope between his harness and the point where the rock was stuck/wedged in the rock). so he would (fall of 20') divided by (10' of rope) = 2

    • @NYpaddler
      @NYpaddler 3 роки тому

      @@heli400 It would only be a factor 1 if the rope was caught so badly that it was the effective belay point, making the rest of the rope irrelevant. Since he got the rope unstuck he took the fall on all of the rope between himself and his belayer. It's hard to estimate distance, but it looks like he fell close to half of the height, which would be a fall factor of .333. Of course a FF of 1 without the nasty pendulum would have been preferable.

    • @NYpaddler
      @NYpaddler 3 роки тому +2

      @@sebastianloessl7982 There are plenty of ways they could have handled that really badly. These guys would obviously benefit from better skills, such as being able to escape the belay, but it was actually a fairly simple and effective solution. They recruited a bunch of people for a Georgia Haul to raise the climber, and the original belay line was used for progress capture. You know, exactly as if the climber climbed up to where the rope was stuck instead of being pulled up. That set him up for the nasty pendulum, but again, just as if the rope hadn't snagged when he first fell. While there are more elegant solutions the only serious criticisms I have are not tying in to the haul line (not necessary, but why hang on when you could tie in and just sit in your harness?), and the possible risk to and from the inexperienced help.

    This is why I used to run through rescue routines with anyone new I climbed with.
    What is your way off the mountain?
    What if X happens.
    How to Ascend a locked rope?
    What self Rescure equip do you carry?
    What belay Rescure equip do you carry?
    Does the belay have ready access to a mobile phone with reception?
    Does the climber have a mobile on them?
    What level of trauma first aid do you have?
    What first aid pack are you carrying?
    What is you gps or relevant location for mountain rescure?
    First video.
    Pass down the equip.
    Tie off the second rope so it’s safe to climb.
    Let the climber ascend the second rope and free the main line.
    Stay tied in to both ropes incase of damage to main line.
    Lower safely and slowly.
    Or get dragged up by people while holding the equipment and then fall 20ft on a compromised line...

    For the stuck rope, I don't understand why, if they had another rope and walkup access to the anchor, they didnt just run the second rope through the top anchor (or another set of lockers on the master point), lower down one side of the rope to the climber with a half-tied figure 8 already in it, have the climber tie into the second rope? Then they could just toss the rest of the second rope down to the belayer, have him thread the second rope through the other side of his ATC putting the climber on belay on the second rope. Then the belayer could take with the second rope, release the tension on the first rope and then lower him down on the second rope. Unless the first rope was seriously stuck, not just caught behind a flake, this should work. Even if the first rope was stuck AF, the climber could untie from it once the belay took him on the second rope. Such a weird series of consecutive fails.
    The other thing is that when the climber is pulled up to nearly the anchor, (with the rope around his arm), it looks like the rope is unstuck. Why didnt the belayer simply take up the slack as the top group pulled the climber up? So dumb lmao.

    the incident with the slack is totally avoidable, in fact not even an issue, if you climb with double ropes. You can introduce slack for the clip in rope A but still be on tight belay on rope B. failing the, maybe don't try and clip as soon as you can stretch-reach the bolt.

  • @kickimeijer5271

    The first clip, that is why you are adviced to have the clips in even on top rope. And that you top rope and clip out the draws on the way up, and clip them in on the way down of someone else will climb. Top rope outside is not like toproping inside.

    In lead competition climbing, if the climber makes a cliping mistake and takes notice, he must correct his mistake by himself without outside help (even the belayer) or he will be disqualified.

    So for the first scenario: from the bottom could the belayer direct the belay half of the top rope close to the climber. Then the climber could pull up on the rope to ascend. Eventually making his way to where the rope was caught ? Or was this lead climbing? And that’s not possible. Imma watch again and see if it was on lead. Either way, I’m gonna always carry a Prussik when I climb outdoors now.

    For the second one you missed a big point. The guy switches his belay hand at the worst possible time. Very very close to having no hands on the rope when the fall occurs. Also looks like he is using an atc.
    What he should have probably done at that point was just run away from the wall as a way of taking slack out of the system.

    With the first guy how about you instead of using the jammer as some handle you instead connect it to yourself and then climb and bring it up with you till you get to the snag. Un snag and then take the swing in a way you can control

    First video shows what finaly happens with your brain if you frequently don't wear helmet while climb.
