Congratulations on your third child being on the way! You are some awesome parents from what you've shared with us!
Highball bouldering is free-soloing, change my mind. I've talked to people who disagree with that surprisingly enough.
What is the minimum hight for a boulder to be called a highball?
@@rock_your_boat could be wrong, but it's more a sensation than a definite number. Like, if by falling you hurt yourself very bad, that's a highball. Imho, over 6m. Maybe more if not a vertical slab
@@stefanovitali2925 interesting, I don't know if I would agree with that. I have a project that is just over 5 and a half meters tall with a perfectly flat landing and still I wouldn't want to have to bail from up top, it looks like the fall alone would hurt and I ain't no pussy if you can believe that.
I'd really like to hear from more people on the topic of, when does a boulder gets upgraded to a highball.
@@rock_your_boat 5 and a half IS high! Wouldn't want to bail too, no shame. Is it bolted on top?
@@stefanovitali2925 nah, I work it on top rope, it's a project waiting for a first ascend
Man, these fail review videos are no joke one of the most useful things as a beginner climber. Obviously there is a lot of additional knowledge that goes into preventing these fails. But simply becoming aware of the possible mistakes, makes it infinitely easier to avoid making them. Also, as bad as this sounds, watching people get hurt is a great way to maintaine a humble demeanor. Overconfidence is just as dangerous as ignorance.
Your comments and advice on the trad traverse video were spot on. Having just injured both ankles falling onto a ledge as a result of not placing enough gear, I wish I had thought about this a little earlier! Good to have you back and congratulations on your expanding family!
In the first vid, you can see that the person who is abseiling. Is really grabbing that brake side of the rope, and pulling it down so great reaction from him/her
I saw that, I thought he was going to snap that rope! Not his first abseil.....
The person under the water fall fell fast because as you are lower on a rope the friction decrease because the rope below the device is lighter. At the top of a rappel there is much more weight of rope and the friction is a lot higher.
Yes, you’ve been missed! Thanks for another great video. 🙏🏼👊🏼
Love that you're back man, good to see! Keep it up!!
Couldn't agree more with your thoughts on trad placement/safety. I just recently whipped on a trad MP when a boulder dislodged and because I was run out, I sustained some broken bones - could have been worse. Wish I had placed another piece just prior. Lessons learned for sure.
Congrats to having another little climber on its way, Josh! :-)
So glad to see a new video.
Congratulations on the kiddo.
Dropping some timeless wisdom on us at the end there 😂 Top notch! 💪🫡🫡
I'm an old former trad 5.7 on site climber (my friends were no better 🙂 ) from Smith Rocks and your advice is thoughtful and very true. I was probably too careful leading and never got very good, but I never had a bad fall either in 30 on site climbs. Yes, trad is very different than sport. I could do 5.9 following trad and 5.10 sport with lots of attempts.
Wow, that 1st one, could have used it as a training video when I was instructing and teaching trainees how to set up for taking novices abseiling. Wish I could get a proper look at the appalling anchor build - at least it didn't fail entirely. Novice had a near miss with that fully loaded rope across his neck from the safety rope guy falling past him from what I can make out too.
Whoop new content! Congrats on the upcoming baby too!
Missed these.
Congrats on the baby making.
I liked this video before the first ad ended. I love every video!
that intro was the best thing I've seen all week
Nicely treating these examples as learning opportunities.
I was taught as a rappelling instructor for the Army to always use a PAS, though, I am so old now, it was just a 15 foot rope. If that first dude wasn’t planning on going down, he should’ve hooked in better. I still use one, even when I set up a short rappel.
RE the guy abbing in to the pool, he’s canyoning, having anything like a prussik or assisted breaking device would be extremely dangerous in this context. You want to be able to free yourself from the rope easily when you’re abseiling into water.
it looks like they're being lowered though....there's no rope below them, which makes this even more fked up
The end is the best😂
That first one is really instructive.
Been looking for your vids
Been missing these
I liked the video at "You missed me?" part.
3 kids you better save some energy! Hahaha. Congrats brother, I have 2 so I feel for ya. It's all worth it though, I'd never change a thing.🙏🙏🍺🍺
that intro was nightmare fuel!
Hi there! Congrats to you and your family!
Your vids are great and they showcase a need for an increased safety awareness of the community. If your intros would've been shorter that would've been even better.
If you watch the first clip, the rope ends up on the guys foot, because he's on the edge the rope pulls his foot of the edge.
Til I meet the big rock in the sky… deep, my friend. 😂
Looks like in the second clip the canyoneer isnt lowering themselves but instead being lowered by someone managing the anchor at the top who loses control of the brake strand?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I MISSED YOU!
That was some wisdom in the end for sure. With the what an idiot vs. he’s got ba11s
The guy with the waterfall - it looks like they are canyoning. Often an autoblock or prussik isn't used - for other safety reasons. Often an adjustable friction device is used to manage the friction on wet ropes.
Not a criticism, just some context.
Always Appreciated!
I don't see a rope under them, it looks like they may be being lowered? On a figure eight on a bight maybe? @@BetaClimbers
@@julieweisz1325took a second look and I also didn’t see a rope below. Looks like someone dropped their canyoning buddy :/
@@Pants13isn't that an abseil bag on their leg? The rope is clear coiled inside and paid out of the bag while abseiling. This is to prevent getting the rope tangled while throwing it down. My suspicion here is that the friction device wasn't tight enough and the person lost control due to slippage on the wet rope.
I was just thinking … when is Josh gonna post ?!!
Thank you.
Hey wait a minute, what happened to the theme song !
Yes, missed you! :D
But what was that intro?? I thought my screen was broken.
Really missed u!
You missed that in the 2nd clip, the guy is being lowered by someone else, not abseiling.
Also, to measure the gap jump, you whip a loop to the other side, HALF how much is out and add a small armful.
We need the climbing fails song. I started singing it the moment I saw there was a new video. A year ago I learned the chords on guitar and sang it for my mom.
The first guy didn't lose his balance. The rope pulled his foot off if you watch it again. It was poor decision on his part to be standing on the swinging side of the rope. The rope is off centered as you mentioned and naturally has a tendency to swing back to center. The guy stood in the path of that potential swing and hopefully learned from this experience. You can off center rappel sometimes, but its hard and gravity always eventually wins in the end.
His foot got caught under the rope. He probably caused the rope to become dislodged when he yanked his foot out. Mind your fingers and toes and hands and feet when manipulating loaded ropes, folks!
@@Keldor314 His foot did get lodged, but the rope was already swinging that way regardless. His swiping his foot out probably contributed too, but the rope wasn't in any channel regardless and was already going to swing that way with or without his foot. I've done a lot of rappel practice, including offset scenarios for canyoneering and redirects. Best line is always straight down from the anchor point, but that's not always possible and they may have been trying to practice this too. Just poor positioning by the "guide". Luckily he was smart enough to be attached to the anchor as well.
If you look at the shadows on the rock, there appears to be a recess in the are they're placing the rope. While we can't tell for sure from the camera's distance and angle, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that it might have been sufficienty deep to prevent the rope from going anywhere had not someone's foot gotten caught in there while they were positioning it. We need more camera angles of the location.
Anyway, one mistake the guide definitely did make was standing on the wrong side of the rope. Regardless of the security of the intended final position, it's clear what direction it will swing should something go wrong early just like in the video. That is, assuming the original plan wasn't for the rappeller to descend clear on the other side of the arrete. Miscommunication is always a possibility too.
As for why they didn't lower further to the left, I'm going to point out that there's a big crack over there, and maybe they didn't want the rope getting caught up running through it. Or maybe they're setting up to top-rope the arrete route, and want the rope to be aligned with where they're climbing.
Yeah you right, regardless of what they were trying to accomplish, it was just bad positioning by the guide.
I thought Josh meant that the abseiling guy lost his balance and dragged the other one down
Lmfao If I only had a video of what I did this last week I would take the dummy of the year award! I’m alive but I really learned not to be over confident with your skills hahahab
Always where a helmet ladies and gentlemen
Gri Gris are the best fail-safe belay device. I will NEVER climb without it and NEVER use a tube device. Tube devices are one small distraction away from an accident.
9 times out of 10 I prefer using a Grigri, but I have used it since I started climbing again. The only thing it does not do for my sport climbing is rappel off anchors and that's something you don't need to do very often on single pitch climbs.
0:43 missed you a lot
I approve the message at the very start
Especially because if you find that video I explain the helmet issue 😂
I had a bouldering fail on sunday now my right foot is f*cked… need to see a doctor asap
Yo wtf some comment said that you died and I believed it but here you are! That makes me happy.
Number 2 : (5:58) is belaying by a friend from the top
Porque ele não está com o capacete, essa foi boa!🤜🇧🇷
Hope everyone had time to enjoy the pain.
First clip was the school of hard knocks I think.
You mentioned that guy was guiding the rope into a little notch or something.. well he guided it right onto his own foot and then the weight of the person on the end ripped his foot right off the edge. Why the heck did he do that?!
@@Noahedwar Yeah, that guy standing on the ledge was definitely in the wrong place and should have realized the rope might slip his direction. And he still had quite a bit of slack out. Lucky he didn't flip and hit his head.
@@Noahedwar trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s possible he didn’t know what the hell he was doing in the first place.

About the first one: wouldnt it be wise for the belayer to secure himself with a sling or something on that anchor point?
That one guy, is that a factor 2 fall? I assume he's hooked into a dynamic rope? That's some major force.
No it’s still a factor 1. He would need to fall twice the rope length to hit a 2.
You need to be above your anchor to get close to two. He was kinda level with it.
I couldn't see a lot of stretch in that rope - it looked static to me....
Why was there so much slack with the man that fell from the edge. It seemed taught but then when he fell a load of slack appeared. His fall should have been arrested immediately.
I sometimes climb through really tight passages, or even lil tunnels just to fuck with my follower. Dont worry, its absolutly accepted and funny for the both of us (we are super similiar buildt) not in hard routes thought, sometimes when trad climbing ofwidths with textile pro (saxon sandstone) you can only place gear really far in the ofwidth which is a pain to get out. Those are the less accepted ones 😂 also because its ussualy physical torture to get up there in the first place.
my tailbone hurts now
Second guy didnt rapelled by himself, he was rapelled.
Remember to wear your helmet folks!

Free solo is so much fun until it isnt anymore
I want to watch this video but it’s really difficult with the screen split 50/50
Yeah its because all the videos are from vertical phone clips nowadays…
are you uploading 24 fps footage on a 60 fps timeline? that's illegal
I was the jump across guy. To make a few things clear: the belayer wasn’t in the system. The rope was fixed (I was the only one in the system.) jumping across free solo sounds dumb but I appreciate your input. Props on building a successful platform but you should at least read the comments before you monetize other peoples climbing content.
So you wouldn't have pulled the belayer off if you fell? Just want to clarify. Either way, a gutsy little hop. Kudos.
@@keenanmurray65 yes correct
Shorten your rope or shorten your life bro lol
@@setadoon i agree it should’ve been shorter. I just didn’t want it to be too short and kinda over did it. I just wanted to clarify the belayer thing
The solo comment was a joke, well not really, if I was tied into you I’d rather you solo then yank me off with the amount of force you’d generate. 🤣 Clip was sent to me on my email, I didn’t get that key info so thanks for letting me know. Kudos for not dying. 🤙🏻
There is a section on half dome (forgot the route name) where you have to throw a nut and get it jammed in a crack to get across to the next section. Is there any way you can toss a nut into a crack first before the jump? Or maybe you can bring a cheater stick and place a nut? 🤔
You have a saying for everything I swear
The first guy - my comment would be his safety is WAY too long.... We allow enough to get to, and look over the edge, but that's it. I don't want any whippers on our static abseiling stuff.....
No one got hurt in the first video clip? I'm betting that Mr. White Shorts has a busted pelvic bone!
That 1st one was an accident waiting to happen! The belayer was an idiot to rig it like that! 2nd one the dude just lost control through bad technique. A single rope in a figure 8 is fairly fast, he could have added more friction at the top with a carabiner. His hand was way too close to the fig 8, better to have your control hand right behind you so you get more friction with the rope running over your hip. 3rd one, just dumb. 4th one, more pro as you go dude! Belayer should have been anchored too. 5th one! Imagine taking a leader fall with the rope through the hole! Last one, give that lad a Darwin Award!
Smart kids! Wear a helmet and strap it on correctly or it will just fall off of your head!
Is it just me? Or you completely missed the part where the guy in the first fail actually put the rope on his foot instead of the rock?
To me it looks like that was the problem.
He panicked and let go of the hanging guy before the rope got in the slot.
Tbh I gave that guy the Benefit of the doubt I don’t think there was even a slot..I certainly don’t see one. Maybe a that crack farther away I can make out…. He shouldn’t have been where he was at all imo.
These are so tough to watch.
Yup.
Like for the third kid!
Get some friends! Harsh! (but true)
Miss yo face dude.
I wanted to watch this but just couldn’t with you just talking while that thing looped on the left. The first 5 times cool but you are going on and on for minutes white a 3 sec video looped and I lost it and had to bail. Play the video and talk to cut the loop or talk less.
Kinda bothers me how manufactured the video with the woman climbing through the hole was. Over-complicated move followed by constant jump cuts hiding how much she aided the crack. Climb how you want, but it doesn't really feel in the spirit of climbing.
Yaaay, you're making more little trad climbers to shit on those icky sport climbers! Congrats!

Dude that first fall was definitely not a practice! The dude didn't have a helmet on,he tripped, you wouldn't be tied to the top with that much slack, the guy rappelling had the 'guides' rope drag across his face and no he didn't have a grigri. His hand was above the device..... that was a straight up accident.
