So glad to see you upload again. I really enjoy your content and it makes me want to get into trad (currently all I do is sport). What radios do you use? I had some with no so great attachment points for climbing and they got lost a few hundred feet up... The only good news is I got it on video (video on my channel). Thanks!
At the 10:05 mark, what are you doing with that bight/locker through your rope loop? I'm always looking for ways to improve efficiency at the belay. Glad you are recovered and stoked to see some content from you again!
Great question. I am tucking my side of the rope away from the rest. This helps me maintain and efficient "workflow" while pulling up the rest of the rope.
Just to note, and I may be wrong in what I saw. but it appears that your anchor at the end is an equalette. In your usage of it it is not redundant despite being load equalizing. im sure you already know this but if you didn't i just thought id let you know.
@@Brox_Rocks It looks like what you wanted to use was a quad, since your setup is basically a quad without the redundancy. A magic X would work but then you lose the two independent clipping points since you'd need to clip both strands with a magic X. I recommend using a 240mm sling doubled up (or tripled up for a higher MP) so that you actually have a quad.
Good for you man! Glad to see you back at it
Thanks! Happy to hear that. Loads more content to come now that I am climbing again.
Way to get back in the saddle!

That is so awesome to hear man! Thanks. I use rocky talkies, so far they have been simply the best radios (and they have two attachment points. haha)
@@Brox_Rocks Love rocky talkies as well! Work super well and it's nice they are designed for our sport.

What was the purpose of clipping the rope through your belay loop right before you started coiling the rope? I haven't seen that method before
I find that it keeps the rope clean and out of the way, helping me prevent tangles when flip the rope back over to the belayer.
How would you describe the changes in how you manage risk post injury? As a new trad climber I would appreciate the insight
This is a great question. 👍 one that is too hard to answer in a comment. Please shoot me an email and we can chat. Miletime439@gmail.com
nice pitch

Yeah I realized this after posting it on IG. Thanks for the heads up. All it needed was a twist to make a magic X.

@@brookskellymedia Your right. Actually just bought one yesterday.
