Ray Verseau is recognized by many climbers as "the best belayer in the world". For him, belaying is more than a skill, it is a lifestyle. We had the chance to meet this master and listen to his passion for "The Art of the Belay."

So annyoing that they always interrupt the belaying shots with silly climbing..
haha! you right!
"He doesn't even recognize human beings as existing. He is more using them as an object, in which he can interact with the art of belaying." 😂
Best part
Hah this came up in my feed and I was like what the heck is belaying? But now my life has changed for ever.. absolutely inspirational
Jack Baker Belaying is a second part of climbing. It’s pretty much the person who is your life line, they stand and keep slack in or out of the rope that way if you fall you don’t die. Unless you Alex Honnold and find belaying dumb.
Thanks! Appreciate! :-)
Haha this is epic!
Eric Karlsson Bouldering When he started speaking Swedish
Eric Karlsson Bouldering Nice to see Said in the video!
Eric Karlsson Bouldering you need to get him to belay nikken so that he can give 110%
he'll be his shirtless power
When he started speaking Slovenian
Dave Graham clearly had a lot of fun filming this piece. Really funny educational piece, great job Petzl!
He truly exists ! I always thought he was just a legend !
world best belayer drive you safely at home after a night at pub ;)
Dedication!! Positive vibes, cool spray, swagger, and the genes. I can only aspire to be so great!!
grerat! top notch climbing umor, fresh content (with pro climbers), awesome camera and editing job!
happy to see that my compliment reached "the man"! keep doing your job and inspiring us!! the "epic+funny" content always delivers great results! :)
I’m with you. Belay all the way...
Oh my lord, when Sharma showed up saying he was trying to contact him I literally died 😂
Thanks !
That! Is, definition of humor!!
Thanks !
Très amusant et bien realisé!
Haha! this made me giggle so badly! I love it!
Thanks !
Inspirational!
When he started to speak finnish i couldn't resist laughing
The best belayer speaks all languages
So true !
Un drôle et bel hommage aux personnes patientes et impliquées qui "tiennent la corde" et permettent aux copains de grimper en confiance.
wow !..that fall was intense !!!
I take pride in my belaying and am happy the best of the best is getting the recognition he deserves. New Olympic event?
Just pure fun and good laugh. But seriously, I get major pump on belay-guess I’m overly nervous-just never want to get complacent or under appreciate the great responsibility.
..and he broke down into tears when he got belayed.. 😂🤣 .. belaying must be amazing!
Almost Alpine the movie did this first, but it's still fantastic.
Im scared of heights. I wanna follow in his shoes and be a belayer.
I need that grigri pendant!!!!
Maybe after 100-200 years later when climber will not need belayer this video will be the documentary of how hard it was to be a belayer! 😁
What did i actually just watch?! x’D
My high ass thought this was some sick documentary... until I woke up and read the comments on it 😵
6:00. Did I...did I hear a Wilhelm scream?
Great video. All climbers in a funny mood (except Sasha).
You don't mess with the Zohan of belaying
Awesome job Petzel. I would have kept it to about 2 minutes but I love the story idea.
indeed
how can you mortify the job of whom managed to collect and edit 10 minutes of epic climbing and humor??
im getting in to Belaying. my fav Belayer is Belay bob
The only time Chuck Norris accepts a belay is when this guy is available.
2018 GOALS
Hilarious. Great content!
красиво и с юмором!) лайк)
how many of you spotted his name x)
Whats the song at 2:40?
Where can I get a nice petzl cap like he have?!
I know it’s a joke but I’m surprised he didn’t have belayer glasses :(
Where are they climbing in minute 04:55 ????
I'm ashamed at how long it took me to realize that this was a joke
Mark William I had to read the comments to find out....
You're not alone!
Wait......this......is a Joke?
oh i didn't realise until now lol
Why ashamed
This is the guy who belays Alex Honnold with invisible wire.
LOL
So pure !
Top comment
🤣🤣🤣
bruh I thought they just photoshopped the scene
This video has changed my life forever... today i stopped climbing so that i can put all my focus on the ancient art of belay.
well do not know what to say. Passion is better than talent ;)
"has an incredible ability to be stationary on the ground"
I will pray hard to God tonight. If he really exists he will surely grant my wish of acquiring this ability.🙏🏽
AAA it's sooo great! Everybody acted soooo well! How many takes they needed to do to not laugh?
dude this is nöt a jöke!
Thanks! Appreciate! :-)
We all know you only said that to prove that u knew it was a joke
what do you mean by "acted"?
Rumor has it Honnold did not truly free-solo El Cap. He was emotionally belayed by this guy
“No I don’t climb, I’m a belayer” kick ass dude. Owning it like nothing else.
Captain thanks !
I heard he once belayed 8 climbers simultaneously......
with his feet......blindfolded
It would be awesome to have this unreleased footage! Do you have it?
Why were his feet blindfolded
@J. St :)
It's not the Stig.....
It's Stig's climbing cousin!!
@@andres177 the stigs belaying cousin, remember he doesn't climb.
That's some proper advertising.
The "I don't climb" and the drone scene just killed me.
Bahahahahaha!!!
Thanks!!
The Wilhem Scream at 6:02 tops it off for sample/audio nerds!
Rope Drag value on the HUD. :DD
That was amazing when he clipped the first draw by swinging the rope. Indeed the best.
Rodeo clipping bro ;).
"I don't climb"
Well so much for multi-pitch.
sdpy nah he'll just jumar
Hes can just ascend no need for silly climbing
This is funny, but in all seriousness a good belayer is the foundation of a good climber haha
That first clip @4:21 though
Also "In the winter, I head south to Spain to continue belaying" makes it sound like he's a migratory bird, haha
Ok i completely cracked when he started speaking Swedish and literally said: Come on buddy! I am with you! Go on! Its cool!
And he doesn't even use belay glasses..
Luke Daniel He doesn’t need to; he has a drone.
i heard he can see around corners with his bare eyes
Of course not. His neck is stronger than an elephant.
Great job Petzl. We need more!!!
His Slovene pronunciation was just PERFECT, even nailing the dialect. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!
I feel left out as I don't understand what he's saying, being English makes me miss so many good jokes
the french was perfect too ! I wonder if he's french, there's a clip of him climbing the stairs near the BNF in Paris
God his cantonese was so good I could understand it too, it sounded impeccably fluent
My wife used to belay me all the time. In Kentucky 20 years ago, I look over and my wife is belaying a skinny young kid climbing way harder than me. It was Dave Graham. I thought my wife was the best belayer Dave.
Alpine Jesse is the World's Best Belayer and Almost Alpine is the world's best climbing mockumentary. The original was done several years ago by a few guys with no budget and big dreams. Here's the link to the ORIGINAL: ua-cam.com/video/lNEdWMAwTKw/v-deo.html
BTW 1:59-2:08 his Cantonese pronunciation is very good too! Since no one seems to be talking about that...
4:54 - 5:07 Took me some time to find it but this is "The Moai - Tasmania". Opposite side of the globe for my fellow European climbers :P
Shit ! I hoped it would be somewhere in Europe. It's absolutely beautiful
Thank you ! I was searching that !
The next evolution of the sport. Good to see rope jockeys pushing the boundaries of whats possible! Looking forward to reading his autobiography, Catcher in the Lime.
Wonderful swedish accent! Couldn't belive my ears! Kom igen kompis...det är lugnt! Keep on rockin'
In some way I think they were all serious. Underneath every great rock climber is a great belayer.
Pure genius - love this so much, and didn't want it to end!!
same for me! Amazing production and all the famous climbers giving a comment. Soo good!
The real genius comes from guys that made the original. It seems Petzl liked it so much they decided to "borrow it" www.almostalpine.com
Thanks for your feedbacks!!
Thanks for your feedbacks!!
I would FALL in love with him
Very funny video! I hope he belays me some day
Guys, even Chris Sharma couldn't get him to belay...! :))
"You need to be a PhD in at least three different subjects" hahaha
I genuinely had to look at the comments to see if this was a joke.
hahaha gotta love chris sharma
"I only spent a few hours with him but wow" lol well played
Need that necklace 0:01 !
SAME
That hat
Me too!! Are they available?!
We all do..........we all do..
Leonidio is just awesome :D Haha nice one!
@2:37 music pleaseeeee! 😁
One time Alex Honnold told me in secret that when he saw a queue of climbers to this guy he decided to climb free solo.
The funniest thing about this is that Chris Sharma can't get ahold of him.
Some say he just came into being... others say he ascended downwards from the heavens... All we know for sure is we don’t deserve him.
And yet, he’s here.
Must be a incarnation of Alpine Jesse from Almost Alpine. Everyone knows Alpine Jesse is the best belayer in the world......
Challenger support mains be like
As I first saw the thumbnail I expected something serious... but love it 😍
I bet I would be climbing that kind of stuff if I had HIM belaying me...
BelayerGuy, you are awesome! That´s so much more worth than good climbing. Couse of guys like you, i can climb without worrying. One day i´ll be like you. Love ya!
6:00 Wilhelm scream
Good to know that there is still people who watch our vids with headphones :-)
I heard it with good speakers. It was a fun touch :D
Took me right out. Thought it was all real until 6:00.
+Petzl Sport Nah just watched Star Wars too many times ;-)
Another at 8:16
Love this!
The guy deserves special kudos for nailing the pronunciation of Swedish, Russian and Italian 👌🏻
I'm an identical twin or was sadly until last year and although Paul and i were insightful and sensory this guy takes it to a whole new level. Hilarious. Mark
Wow. What's going on here? This sure looks like a blatant rip-off of Almost Alpine.
J'ai toujours un drone dernier crie dans ma poche pour assurer mes collègues ^^
10:00 The world's worst belayer makes a comeback!
Isaac Chua if you find it send the link 😂
This: ua-cam.com/video/V9hsWjA3SmU/v-deo.html

i need to know too
One of the best Video from Petzl! Great Job and thanks for sharing! Greetings Tom
Brilliant, now I want to see the out takes and bloopers version 👍
What's belaying actually? Is it related to rock climbing.. or is it something sexual? They all look so aroused when they say .. "belaying". I guess I'm the only one not to be belayed yet 🤔😂
