Fixed point belay: intoduction

This is part one of three videos where I take a deep dive into the very advanced skill of directly belaying your lead climber off of the anchor. There's a lot to it and a lot to go wrong if you make the wrong choice, so please seek qualified instruction before attempting this on your own!

Ryan, I don’t know if you are self aware but you are slowly building a skills % methods library. Every now and then, I revise my knowledge and contrast it by watching your videos

Thanks bro, I really appreciate your effort and the info on this channel.

Damnit Ryan, I was all settled in for the meat of the video... I feel rode hard and put up wet. :)

Great video!. Love the rope. I've fondled it at REI accouple times (the rope yah pervs).... juts wondering what it would/will look like after a few used and exposure to the normal dust and dirt at a crag

[@ryantilley9063]

I’ve used it a little more since the video, so far it just looks like a dirty yellow rope, still has yellow though.

If you’re belaying off the anchor, what is the advantage of belaying through your loop rather than just using the ATC in guide mode?

He’s explaining lead belaying in this video not guide mode belaying a follower

[@ruffrydazz2032]

@@OhMiggeee Yes, I know. So, what’s the advantage of belaying through your loop rather than a plate in guide mode?

[@1SyncGames]

In guide mode you can’t effectively give slack to belay a leader

[@ruffrydazz2032]

@@1SyncGames That’s not correct.

@@ruffrydazz2032 how would you do it then?

Camera man breathing is annoying but a good video!
