Last clip was very educative. Even if I'm aware of the foot behind the rope stuff, I still sometimes struggle to find the correct placement, especially in adrenaline rush situations. Cheers guys!
Am I the only one who makes the "climing outta here" noises with Josh? They're probably my favorite part of the video. (The rest of the video is really good, but the sound effects are amazing.)
10:12 looks like a textbook example of the dangers of having your foot behind the rope. Great video! Just an idea, maybe make a shorter video for why you shouldn't have your rope behind the rope, why it happens and how to avoid it. Could do a similar thing with backclipping and z-clipping, having a helmet that isn't adjusted well, having too much rope drag etc. I'm sure there's a lot of mistakes that also happen that are specific to trad climbing or multi-pitch climbing. Just spitballing here, keep up the great work!
It is! Try to keep the rope behind your leg. If you're going upwards and sideways you can drag and lift the rope with your upper leg to have it closer to your next clipping point already, that way you don't need to reach that far under you when you might want to be closer to the wall and you don't stress your arms ith what was done by your legs already. Especially when you can clip approx. at waist height this is very useful and to to aid clipping on long routes with lots of rope drag.
Ive been climbing a few months, love your channel!! Very informative, for reaching my goal of climbing outdoors. Im currently working on fundamentals in the gym. Thanks for the content!!!!
WOWOWOW that 1st fail! On the second fall of the girl (no grey jacket), the belayer has both hands on the climber side! NO HAND on the brake rope! Ugh! I would not call that "belay technique"...
@@50StichesSteel newer heard of but still shunt is designet for 10mm single rope, loads of people use skinny ropes these days which is more dangerous even when belaying with atc (specially for beginers).
@@CorkBouldering Agreed...I bought one specifically for rope solo with an 11mm rope. But even with all the upgrades, I'm still a bit weary with it and usually just use some like a Petzel i'D..Kind of like a Gri Gris bigger brother..It's a pain in the ass but I make sure to pull out slack as I ascend..Usually if I go alone though I just go to a gym with an auto belay..Usually the best way to go solo safely.
I feel like I can't get enough examples of foot faults/ how to avoid. I've done gym climbs where it seems challenging to avoid as you move laterally and the foot chip is vertically in line with the draw. I liked how thorough you were with the example but how about showing on a traverse?
9:20 Josh can you tell us more about safely belaying this as you mentioned? Running it out a bit to soften the impact. I'm not sure how you achieve that without letting the deadrope side through your fingers, which I don't think is safe or what you mean. Cheers for another great video!
Belaying off a munter is one way where the device will slip a little. There is a new thing where people who's partners weight difference is very high and they will do a direct belay using a munter. Some say it also helps reduce load on gear placement where you'll have a factor 2 fall. As with anything climbing practice in a safe manor to become proficient.
@@1stWolverine is there even a way to generate a factor 2 fall outside of the 2nd+ pitch on a multipitch climb? I think that if you are generating such falls, there were probably a number of mistakes at the same time that lead to it.
@@kamenpetrov6622 I can't remember the exact climb or climbers who mentioned this. I believe the idea is aimed towards big wall or other Alpine pursuits where placement becomes poor and far between.
He is referring to the belayer jumping or giving a more soft catch right when the falling climber weights the rope to reduce the pendulum affect. That way the climbers weight will hit the rope with a downward force effectively slowing the swing, otherwise all the force and speed of the fall will be transferred horizontally and they slam into the wall as hard as they would if it was the ground.
@@1stWolverine that is called "running it out" and refers to a longer than desired distance between protection placements. Not what he was referring to but it does sound similar.
I’ve been watching this guy for a while now, he is funny and a good teacher. The main thing I’ve learned is climbing is 90% rope, and gadget management. I guess that is why free soloing looks so inviting. Who wants to deal with all these ropes and gadgets.
id always love the aesthetic of climbing with out my helmet but now when im lead climbign, specially on a route ive never done before i where a helmet. Definitely thanks to your climbing fails videos jajajaaj
Watching your fails clips makes me realize that a lot of unexperienced people decide to go outdoor climbing. The lack of fear amazes me and is in my oppinion equivalent to a certain degree of stupidity. There are plenty of online videos explaining safety and proper technique... It's weird that people don't try and learn from those.
They have a lack of fear but immense stupidity. I live next to mt rainier and I work at the National park and we see these people all the time. Never climbed a mountain and don’t hire a guide or anything and then they need rescued. I guess those same people are into rock climbing as well
The clip starting at 7:45 you can also see he grabs the rope with his left hand on the way down, and this (together with the hard catch) spins his feet away from the wall
I like the shunt, not that I do a lot of rope solo anymore. I am aware of the dangers but I never saw that! Double rope is best and locks solid; always back up with a ropeman on one strand. It is a pain in the ass but so are wheelchairs. Keep sending!
@@christopherdunlap88 Yeah, I did watch the video. Cannot really imagine the shunt getting to that position in the first place but shit happens - especially 'operator error.' I remember one time I was rappelling and three pitches up, I COMPLETELY unclipped myself at the station. Time slowed down...it was weird. A real jackass moment for sure.
hey sometimes in remote places in australia i personally have exporienced bolting for minimal amount of bolts possible in a given climb. not uncommon to see easily 5-7m between bolts
The clip at 4:45 -- am i seeing things or is the person falling catching a loose rope with their hands? did it come off her harness somehow, or is this an illusion?
Recently saw a guy at the gym try a Dyno and he flipped upside down.this was on top rope too. Almost cracked his head. Honestly never seen that on top rope .I dunno how tf he even managed that. My worst fear
@@mikelambino well I don’t wear a helmet for top rope indoors. I definitely do outdoors. I just don’t understand how it happened?! Like damn, I’m worried now 😂😭
I’m just as confused as to how he went upside down. My guess is slack in the line and a bad dyno. I wouldn’t worry to much about it just don’t do whatever it was he did and you’ll be fine. Good on ya for wearing your helmet outdoors. Might want to use the brain bucket indoors if you’re trying that dyno though ; ). Be safe out there and enjoy the rock ✌️
@@mikelambino 😂😂I don’t ever see myself trying what he did. It looked pretty stupid and doomed for failure. He also had gathered an audience as he was climbing . Shenanigans. 😂stay safe!
Ahhh yes, gotta love those shenanigans you might see in a gym. They are head scratchers for sure 😂. It’s not always good when a crowd gathers to watch, he should’ve known better 😂😂. 🍻
I lost about 4-5 years of climbing to a terribly bad opiate addiction and the first time i stepped back in the gym, i instantly realized shit was waaaay diff in that short amount of time. Awkwardness and originality started taking over from traditional route setting, It's almost as if modern art standards showed up to ruin gym climbing as well
I don’t understand why people don’t get some training or find someone that knows what is up before trying this. Hell you can learn quite a lot online as well.
That intro was pure gold. Hilarious.
I was waiting for a speed climbing there :)
omfg i was dying
Play the Stranger Things theme music next time someone puts their foot in front of the rope and take a trip to the Upside Down.

nah...not a good example bc the climber did not fall and demonstrate foot rope tangle danger
show whipers only as examples please
Lol, Pete cartwheeling into that crack was a hilarious video. Love the Wideboyz :D
Dude that lip bite tip was awesome! Realy simple and smart.
Does anyone else loves Josh's lighting?
Good job! The backing track is a nice new feature.
In the intro where it says Beest Boulders, that’s my gym.. every location has that weird spinning logo hold, you can have great fun with it though 😂
Thanks for the reference Josh!

The creativity of this guy is incredible.
Petzl officially said some time ago to not use shunt for rope soloing, this device was never intended to be used for that purpose.
They made a better version that locks onto the rope with a carabiner.

7:40 - “Interesting clip”
Pun intended?
In The Days of COVID mask-wearing in gyms, I’ve been holding the rope between my chin and neck. Works better than grabbing it with teeth (or lips).

Maybe don't go for the one handed dyno when your last clip is 10' below...
The first belayer guy.... We sure he didnt grab the climber side of the rope with the brake side still in his hand? Regardless, brake hand down. Fail.
No helmets.. wtf are they thinking? Its slab, you want some head gear
Fire! So sick of the ridiculous gym parkour
So many bad belayers this go around.
