If you look closely at the beginning, I don't think he was ever actually on belay. She was very focused on paying out slack, but didn't lock the device off, and only ever held the braking strand briefly (to feed slack). I don't think her hand got caught, I think she just freaked out when the rope began flying through the wide open device.
You can see how badly she belays in the beginning. She is letting go of the brake rope and catching the other strand instead. When he fell, it burned her hands.
I teach kids how to belay with grigri as it's the most used device here. They're taught not to touch the device at all before lowering the climber. They learn how to give slack without blocking the cam. Because if you block the cam, you need to know when and how and risks involved. This belayer was taught that blocking the cam was a valid technique. But she didn't know when it was ok to do, and so she did it all the time.
Who knows what the belayer was taught because "hand on the brake strand at all times" is usually the first thing taught. And, it's not even about pressing on the cam but they're basically death gripping the entire device, along with no brake.
@@PureCycling1 It's his life and he should've made sure the belayer was competent at her one job. She did not have a fundamental understanding of how the belay device worked.
@@bilbobaggans8398 He's not campusing, he is cutting loose after dynamic moves. I think he needs to bring his knees up more when he does to control the swing but it's completely normal for that kind of route.

This should be titled "Shit Belay" as she clearly let go and then had the audacity to ask "are you ok?"
I think it was at least the camera person that asked if he was okay and not the belayer lol
Bad belay, you can see she lets go in the last few frames. Looks like her hand went into the tube she was using and she let go.

you literally just have to hold the fucking brake end how do people actually mess this up
No way he should have hit the ground after clipping 3 bolts. Looks like the belayer just let go of the rope. Good thing it was a sandy landing.🙄
She sure did
Happened at our wall a couple of months ago, same thing bad belayer just let go! Too cool to belay 😮
The climber went out on a spinel board.
belayer was more worried about her hand lol
Anyone know the route? Simply curious
pretty sure thats Tidal Wave 7C
@@PM-kx7czTidal Wave is 7b, because of all the manufactured holds
How badly did you get hurt? Did belayer let go of break side?

It was the combination of blocking the cam and not holding the brake strand, plus likely gripping the bottom of the grigri
What belay device was used? Hope you're ok
"What belay device was used?" The real question should be: What belayer was used?
@@andrebliss8206 ok
A banana peel.
@@andrebliss8206 totally aware of the bad belay. still wanted to know what device was used tho
What the damn hell!! How’s that even called a belayer
The projectile too heavy. Not megos
OH MY GOD I LET GO OF THE ROPE ARE YOU OKAY?
Well that`s the end of that partnership but it`s his fault as much as hers !
Why also his fault?

You should look for a new belayer. Hope you are okay 👍
and people get mad at gyms for implementing assisted breaking device policies 🙄
Terrible belay, never again
Time for some hard is easy -videos...
Belay gloves ???? Sorry ....
The way she said "Are you ok?"
That's a pissed off girlfriend/wife!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Worst belaying I've ever seen in my life.
Yet another grigri user not using correct technique ... I see this on a daily basis in my gym.
Worst climbing evar.
extreme unecessary power-screaming 😆 - trying to look like a beast
The two of them are at fault. Bad team. You don't climb in such a dynamic way when your belayer isn't trained to catch such a fall.
Need to work on that footwork bud, climbings about standing on ur feet mostly to takevthe load off your forearms lol
🤓
It's an overhanging route.
@@jamescampbell2521 oh so is it good technique to campus overhangs, what pumps out first, is it his forearms. Use your feet for climbing

@@seanmaguire9950 normal if your footwork is poor and u think climbing is about pulling all on your arms. Do u even climb?
