I am a Vertical Rescue instructor and this guy it totally about safety. It was an easy video to understand and Safety is his primary goal. One of the better videos to watch if you are just starting out. No short cuts here, just SAFETY.
Just a couple of quick points. Firstly, he clipped into the knot. If the knot was put there to isolate a damaged part of the rope then this could be potentially dangerous. Personally I would never clip into a knot that I hadn't tied myself. It would've been better for him to tie his own alpine butterfly below the knot he is passing and clip into that instead. Secondly, in many of this guys vids he lets his ASAP get as low as his waist when he is ascending. By letting this happen he is increasing his fall factor unnecessarily. It was drilled into me to always keep your ASAP or whatever back up you are using above shoulder level. I'm not saying the guy doesn't know what he's doing, but I was taught slightly different.
That traverse move at the end was so smooth too. Well done video & all very useful information. Best of all no excess language at all. Kept the presentation very clean.
Thank you buddy for this video, I have been in the Rope Access for just a few months getting use to it and I learned from an Irata lvl 1 in New Zelanad and I never learned using a cowstail straight to the alpine butterfly and it seems so efficient in time. I appreciate this material to get better and more efficient in my day by day working life . Cheers mate!
Be careful if anyone is still reading this. If a rope has damage you might find the damaged section has been looped out with a butterfly hitch -- don't clip that as you are clipping a damaged section which is not safe. If you look closely he had 2 knots with an inner loop and outer loop, clip the inner one (undamaged) or tie another to clip into. This training looks very clear. Seems like a good training centre/course!
@@tomtom4405 Spot on about him clipping into the knot itself. I'd much rather tie my own alpine butterfly beneath the original one. I personally would never clip into a knot that I hadn't tied myself.
@@5ykes forgetting to close gates. once I had two my nerves were shot and I messed up going over the edge and that was it. I passed the second time though.
@@5ykes Forgot to say, my first minor was when I changed from ascender to descender I had left the climbing aid out of reach. I ascended in my descender and collected it. The assesor said it was failure to maintain my equipment. I thought that was very harsh. My second assesor was much more sensible and said as long as you know whats wrong and can recover from it that's ok. Some assesors are very strict and others are laid back and know you are a beginner and let you relax.
When you did the rope to rope transfer, you eventually were only on 1 point because you didn't have your hand ascender on when you were on your Kroll. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks
I agree. Although the instruction was excellent and this is how people do in real life, when I did my first IRATA exam (L1 about 25 years ago) the teaching was that a chest/croll ascender or hand ascender only counted as 1/2 an attachment point each and we always had to have 2 points. So climbing above a knot or rope to rope we'd tie an butterfly loop below us and clip that before taking off an ascender or we'd only have attachment of 1.5 (1 for the shunt/ASAP and 0.5 for a single ascender while one was being moved) and at that time it would have failed exam. maybe it's different now?
Do you have a list of your personal gear? I'd be curious to know what pieces you use versus another; brands and whatnot. I'm just starting out in the rigging world and have yet to even buy a harness.
May be a stupid question by why on the way down do you rope into an anchor and on the way up into a belay? Or are you referring to them as the same, thanks
I was taught that the hand ascender and the chest acender are meant to work in tandem with one another, and should only be considered a 1/2 point of contact when used by themselves. When you passed the first knot, aren't you suspended on 1-1/2 points of contact for a moment when you removed your hand ascender and put it above the knot, and also when you removed the cowstail from the hand ascender and clipped into the knot?
No problem. Sorry it was a bit short- I'd just got in from work. I double checked with an IRATA assessor to make sure the half point thing hadn't come back in.
Did your petzl chest acender come with the black fabric and the D-Ring? And another question if so, im assuming you fed the yellow fabric on your harnass thru it so it became a new chest D-Ring for that and your safety. is that correct? Only reason i ask is when looking to purchase one of these for this very purpose, I'm not seeing the fabric nor the d-ring included
Hiya, I'm 18 and was told by a work friend of my dads that you're really good trainers, i'm thinking of booking for your course soon but I've Just been working at an awful job to get as much money together as i can to pay for this as i'll be booking for a hotel there to so its a fair bit of money i'll be spending on a pass fail course, was just wondering if there is anything else i should be looking into to give me a higher chance of a pass, thanks.
I agree with u Joseph. That's an incorrect way to pass the knot , moreover, his back-up device has to be attached above the knoty , not on the alpine as this alpine knoty has been done due to defect on the rope.
Is the hand jammer suppose to be clipped into the cows tail carabiner or is it ok to clip the foot loop into the hand jammer then the cows tail carabiner into the foot loop carabiner as I did this on my assessment and got given a minor error
1ST OFF YOU ARE NOT TO TIE INTO THE "DAMAGED" PART OF THE ROPE -BEING THE BUTTERFLIED TIED KNOTS ON BOTH ROPES 2ND - YOU SAID PRIOR TO TAKING SOMETHING OFF YOU MUST PUT SOMETHING ON- YOU TOTALLT DIDNT DO WHAT YOU SAID. YOU REMOVED YOUR COWSTAIL FROM YOUR JUMAR TO ATTACH TO THE KNOT WITH OUT ATTCHING ANOTHER COWSTAIL TO SOMETHING ELSE... FAILED BUDDY- IRATA LVL 3 - SPRAT LVL 3 15 YEARS ON THE ROPES AND WE BOTH KNOW YOU PERFORMED THIS INCORRECT.
Hi. The correct way to isolate damage in ropes is to tie 2 alpines. So any damage is isolated in the End alpine. So it is fine to clip into the none damaged knot. Why change into descent when you are ascending? If an ascender is clipped to the rope and statically loaded then it does not need a cow tail attached. Please read the heading of these videos. There are loads of ways of doing all of these manoeuvres if you have been taught a different way if doesn't make it wrong. Happy working. Access techniques.
Joseph Wise He removed his cowstail (still on two points) and then he clipped his cowstail into the knot before removing his asap. i suggest you watch it again before kicking off mate. Why would he have to attach another cowstail to anything after removing it from his jumar? he's still on two points.
Joseph Wise at what point did he ever say that the rope was damaged???... he said it was in a knot get your facts straight. P.S. writing in all caps doesn't make you right

Amazing! You make it so easy. thank you for your knowledge....
thank you so much for this, irata next week ^_^ can't wait
you are a very good teacher,,, thank you........
I have watched this so many times thank you
Thank you sir 😍 our job is respect and responce
Most informative video on the web! Very good!!
please keep uploading Level 1 videos
also a video on how we can use rope access with NDT inspection that will be great
It's very good, you do it very well

@@tomtom4405 I'm only asking as confirmation as I'm only a level 1 and have only taken the course once almost 3 years ago. Not trying to be a troll
A hand jammer does not count as a point of attatchment.
@@jasonclark3057 that is true, but it is to be used in conjunction with the Kroll.
Well that's what I was taught in my course.
Good lesson for me
AWESOME stuff!! Many thanks!!
very good technique
Great video for beginner like me..:)
Parabéns pela técnica!
Um dia chegarei nesse nível.
So cooll, this rope access technique
so you Fox are really good...
i hope you keep making more vídeos
Отличный инструктор все предельно ясно))))
When he was passing knots where you not supposed to put your enforcer above the knot where the asap was instead of the cowtail?.
А почему при смене канатов человек остается на одном croll и усе самостраховки? Ведь в данный момент у него 1.5 точки , а должно быть 2
very good video!!!
He was able to stand in the loop of rope between the two belay knots, then was able to unclip his short cows tail!
help me to get something like IRATA. Thanks a lot
I get hired as a tower rigger and youtube puts this video in my feed
out of curiosity, why are all your carabiners steel ones?
Do you have a list of your personal gear? I'd be curious to know what pieces you use versus another; brands and whatnot. I'm just starting out in the rigging world and have yet to even buy a harness.
Backup should be first to ascend, then chest ascender
Как у вас асап держится в верхней точке? У меня постоянно он скатывается на уровне груди.
Where can someone undergo rope access training?

The "1/2 point for each ascender" is no longer used. A loaded chest ascender is 1 point.
Hmm... interesting. Is that a SPRAT regulation? Where can I find this in the IRATA regs?

does it matter if the carabiners are D and not oval? plz reply. i may need to send back carabiners and switch them out
Awesome

Why either you mountain rappeling or rope accessing you use two rope
You must have a second rope to act as a back up just incase your working rope failed for whatever reason.
@@jasonclark3057 ouh got it but then why are they like to use more then 2 rooe is it like foe more back up line?
As an arborist... I find this very difficult to watch. Why do you not use a system that is just as effective ascending as descending.
They have different purposes under load
I want to work on this insdutry but i cant even tie my shoes.... Im so scared. But this is what i want to do
What are you doin now?
@@shubum5100 I am finishing my engineering degree in alternative energies in December.
No failed :( got given a minor straight away two of us and told to change and clip the carabiner from the cows tail in instead
Is the hand jammer suppose to be clipped into the cows tail carabiner or is it ok to clip the foot loop into the hand jammer then the cows tail carabiner into the foot loop carabiner as I did this on my assessment and got given a minor error
It doesn't matter as the Hand Ascender is not counted as a point of attachment. It is only attached so you don't drop it.
DId you pass?
what happend at 11:23 how did he get up to unclip
He stood in the loop of the re-belay, it's out of the camera view...
Holy crap just use a JGL.

antonio romero He was probably referencing SPRAT lvl I evaluation that indicates your are passing knots because the rope is knotted to isolate damage.
Hes cutting corners you dont pass knots like that
Yes you can. We teach both ways. It's not cutting corners it is just a different way. Thanks for Watching.
