    I just got a brand new 3m grillon and had to use it today. I work petrochem so everything is just trying to melt it. This video is way better than the BFK I was using

    Nice work, I'm going to use the Anders method from now on. I've been using a different method of wrapping the tail round and round and it looks good but it's slow. Every day is a school day!

    Interested to know what rope is on your madrock setup? Is it the grillon replacement rope?

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  Рік тому +1

      It is just a piece of semi static rope. Beal Contract I think. I have multiple leftover pieces from damaged ropes laying around and just exchange those every few months. I don't like stitched ends on my ropes. Especially for positioning. That Barrelknot gives me a few more centimeters of height that for some reason often seem to matter😉

    Double long end, and do daisy chain from device. Takes tension away from rope if you hang for long time. Tike your methods too.

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel

      I like that on too. Really easy to release the long end when needed👍🏻👍🏻

    Could we have a review of that edelrid harness please.
    The things i’m curious about:
    -does the “croll” sit much higher on this harness than it does on others (making it less efficient for ascending)?
    -the ventral (waist) d appears to be a different shape and size; what effects does this have?

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  Рік тому +1

      Full review will come in a few weeks.
      Croll is comfortable and I don’t feel a difference. Except that the rope slides through easily in large R2r transfers compared to other harnesses
      Ventral ring can feel small and cluttered.

    I like this method more than what we usually do. At work it's always 3m grillions but at home I made a 6m aborist imitation lanyard but I have no non-time consuming way to wrap it up and store it.
    I wanna know more about the little DMM pulley biner on the prussik. I could guess maybe how I may incorrectly use it but I wanna know how it's supposed to be used.

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  Рік тому +1

      The one in the thumbnail is about 4,5 meters and turns into a quite smal package. But it takes a minute to do. When I works as an arborist I had a 5 meter one and used a small prussik cord on the tail end and that DMM revolver on the front to create 4 loops of about 60cm each to the harness. Easy to store and take out when needed. Super quick while climbing around.
      You can do with the Revolver prussik comb whatever you like. In this instance that prussik is not rated and the Revolver non locking so it can never be a full point of contact. I use it for a RADS setup, or run a rope through when lifting light things up. I have a small pulley available to use for other things. I have taken it off to use as a slight deviation and it made life easier on quite a few instances.

      ⁠@@TheRopeAccessChannelI'm a subscriber from SouthKorea! I want to ask, I'm using Grillon, but I'm curious about the advantages of Mad Rock's products. We are using this device for edge securing each other(sorry for bad in English)

    Great video yet again!
    Love Anders content on instagram.
    Have you switched to the Edelrid triple lock harness over the cmc atom or just testing? They’re the 2 I want to try next. And is the safeguard ok to use for 2 person rescue? Thanks for all the content mate

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  Рік тому +1

      I.ve use the Atom for about 6 months. Now it is Edelrids turn for a while. I switch between them. Just testing, comparing and working on long term review of everything I get my hands on ;-)
      I would not use the safeguard as a two person descender. But you should check the manufacturers website. I cant remember.

    • @Hodgey10
      @Hodgey10 Рік тому

      I don’t think I would use it for that either was just curious. I would probably use it for a level 2 snatch rescue though? Don’t see the issue with that.

      @@pauliusbeniusis1450 If I would need to buy a new harness now where I do mostly rigging, training and supervising and the occasional suspended work I would go for the new Petzl Falcon with a croll top S or L. The Edelrid would be the one for mostly working on the ropes. It is a great harness.

    What length Grillon do you use?

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  6 місяців тому

      That would depend on the job. For me, the 2 meter version is too short. 3 meter is okay. I usually run a 4 meter rope in there.

    How do you store your positioning lanyard?

    • @A-Randomer
      @A-Randomer Рік тому

      I tend to store the "loose" tail end laddered like you would when storing a rope (form loop pull another loop through that loop repeat) then attach "short" carabiner through the last loop to stop it flapping in the way when climbing. Compact even with a fairly long lanyard like the 5m Grillon I carry and you can easily release it with one hand by just pulling if necessary if you need more length to wrap round the structure.

    • @d0p3vids
      @d0p3vids Рік тому

      I've always clipped the rope biner into the anchor biner, made three equal length strands and done a figure 8. Super quick and similar length to this if you've got the 2m lanyard.

    • @dylancarlson1059
      @dylancarlson1059 Рік тому

      I store mine by pulling the device all the way to my tail stopper, then daisy chain the rope from the device to the carabiner. I like to leave my last loop a little longer and attach it to the gate side of my carabiner. Then when I want to use it I push the loop over the gate and open it. This makes it one fluid motion to get it open and unravel the daisy and it’s easy to do with one hand. We use the 2m grillon though.

    • @louislax14
      @louislax14 Рік тому

    • @appak001
      @appak001 Рік тому

      With the device on my ventral (waist) d ring I:
      -make the tail and the load side the same length
      -clip the the end of the lanyard to one of my side D’s
      -poke the stopper through the crab i just placed on my side D.
      Quick and easy. My rope is about 2m after tying the knots but if it was a 3m one i’d just poke the loops inside my leg strap or tie a slippery hitch in them.k x

      Where do i say I am teaching anything new? I am just showing a few ways to store your positioning lanyard. If you already know, good for you. There are plenty of people who did not know. No need to come out and come over as a smart ass.
      By the way, a prussik knot is quite different. A prussik rope doesn’t exist and I am not tying prussik knots in this video. When do you ever have a descender/belay device and carabiners on you prussik cords? So if you want to be a smart ass be correct in your statements.
      That’s me being a smart ass

    For a positioning lanyard, 3 metres is too much. 2 metres is enough.

    • @TheRopeAccessChannel
      @TheRopeAccessChannel  Рік тому +1

      To each his own. For my use 2 is to short, 3 the minimum and sometimes 5 is good.. It just depends on what you are going to do.
