    Hope you all liked this one. I misspoke with those trade climbing boulders. I said zipper it up but the correct term is “sew it up” not zipper it up. A zipper is when you fall and the pieces all start popping out as you fall.

    I definitely agree that it’s always a good idea to wear a helmet. I think that you should also take that one step further and promote climbing helmets that protect the sides/front/back of your head and not just the top. Since some helmets mainly protect against rockfalls.

    Not that it matters, but I think the term is "sewing it up" when placing closely space gear, and "zippering" when you peel and rip out a series of pieces.

    Hey Joshua I'm super new to climbing and I'm loving these videos. Your analysis of what went wrong is really informative and I'm learning a lot. I just have one question: Why do so many people not wear helmets when climbing/bouldering? It seems like that would be kind of essential no? I have seen some videos of what look like experienced climbers climbing with no helmet on. Keep up the good work :)

    • @BetaClimbers
      @BetaClimbers  3 роки тому +5

      Hey 👋🏻
      Well when bouldering as long as you are going to land correctly a head injury is very rare. You will never see anyone wearing a helmet bouldering.
      Most of climbing is all about risk assessment and that is a personal choice there is no helmet police...besides me...out there going to make some one wear a helmet. Safety is in your hands and it’s your decision on the level of danger you wish to have while climbing. So some climber maybe, most climbers are okay with the risk for the extra free feeling and wind in their hair. Some states allow motorcycles to not wear helmets it’s basically the same thing.
      Personally the way I see it, my helmet is a tool some times I don’t need as much and some times I definitely need it. If I don’t expect any rock fall in the area or strange falls I might not have mine on. If there is a lot of traffic, I’ll prob have my helmet on so no one drops anything on my head. Or if I expect a strange fall. The best advice Is to get a light stylish helmet you really like wearing and always wear it. Just maybe not while bouldering. Lol

    • @BetaClimbers
      @BetaClimbers  3 роки тому

      Gym climbing eats up shoes I’ll definitely do a video because its a big subject but so I don’t keep you waiting I recommend the cheapest you can get. My home gym even sells lost and found shoes for nothing after they have been not picked up after almost a year. So bargains can be found. Use and abuse them. When your technique gets better you will not miss placements as often which causes sliding and more abrasion hope that quick answer helps. Also if you find bargains like that you can try a lot of different styles so you can find what you like best for you.

      @@ml242 There isn't a rule. I didn't say there was? 30 ft is where the likelihood of a fatal fall becomes extreme. 30 ft is where the increase in lethality per distance trails off. The difference between 20 and 30 ft is much much larger than even 30 and 50. Anything past 30 is going to be over 90% with decreasing step size.
      That fact doesn't indicate no fall under 30 is non lethal, just less likely to be. Many many many more people fall off ladders to no serious injury than do from 30 ft falls.

    Second one is just a shit belay. His waist was right above the bolt. I hate watching belayers with the "soft J". The soft j is bullshit and should not be a thing. Reason, because the soft j turns into a "j" real quick, and a j turns into a "hard j" even quicker. Just stay with your climber, it's not that hard.
