Thanks
Super helpful thanks
AH-AH-AH... no seriously that is fucking hilarious
When you say keeping (storing) the rope in your car its important to mention that it should be kept OUT of the sun. Extended periods exposed to UV rays will degrade the rope quite quickly. Whilst modern cars do have UV window filters they reduce, not eliminate, the quantity of UV's coming through.
Also becarefull with the heat! Inside of a car can became really hot during the summer! At least in North America
I'm assuming that humid environment like in Australia would kill the rope quicker? When I hope in my car it feels like an oven.lol
Thanks

The ropes are durable and just like the ones at the gym. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTFxba6lNeHrZaHoY_LXe6ZzmMfaipnwu Caution: I bought the 50 feet ropes and they are long and heavy so make sure you have the space (I do have the space). If I was to do it again I would probably get a shorter version as 50 feet (25 feet each side) is a little long.
About the spatha, I personally prefer my kayak rope cutter as it has no sharp edge and is serated so rope cutting is super easy

I have the Beal Karma 9.8mm x 60m for out at the lake and anything big, for rapping off highball projects and top roping buildering problems I bought the Edelrid Boa 9.8mm x 15m
from what i've read online (does not make me an expert at all) 'eco-chalk' is not chalk as such, it is simply a drying agent for the hands. and by drying agent i mean that it is like antiperspirant deodorant for your pits, its job is to dry your hands and nothing else. and since it is not a white powder like most other chalks, it does not leave white hand marks all along a route :)
quite happy to be corrected on this if i am wrong!
Myself i got a beal double rope and used it for everything for years.. when i sport climbed i clipped both ends in , unless the route was very meandering. Later i got a thick, cheap single for sport climb volume... you want to not take to many lead falls on your expensive double.
Mammut infinity dry is best I've had. Coated abrasion resistant. Especially good for Thailand when it dips into salt water
Would be nice if you can talk about the different kind of covers. I would recommend maximum 10.5 mm for single ropes for outdoors climbing!
Newbie here, bought the beal antidote off you guys but bought a 70m (because I love a bargain) found it was a bit too long for my climbing gym although should be ideal for the summer outdoor routes. Just bought that indoor rope you mentioned there matt, should be a better rope for what im at right now
Nice, alpine all the way for me and my channel
Hi. When you say you can join the twin ropes and join them for a fast and long rappel.. how would you get past the knot created by joining the ropes? I can imagine attaching another lowering device under the first one but how would you un-weight the first one to get off? Thanks.
For mountaineering and expedition a triple rated rope is the best you can get, they are very lightweight and not that expensive, for example, the mammut serenity 8,7 dry was cheaper than the mammut infinity dry 9,5, at least in Chile and the beal opera golden dry 8,5 waaaaaay cheaper than petzl volta 9,2, so triple rated with UIAA dry is perfect for the high mountains, and if your partner buy the same, you can expand the life of your rope by using it as twins
I have camouflage rappelling rope198ft climbing 8mm and black diamond harness and rescue figure 8 😁
thanks
I bought some LSK technology static rope to start with on tree climbing? Any good? It's MBS Is 3475 kgf! 11 mm. Feels nice and supple for tying knots etc.height store has it on special and on EBay. Arborist sellers have a lot of it for sale in 100 metre rolls.
Well, what we tend to do in HK is to spread out the 60~70m rope and use it for 2 routes instead. But of course, this depends on the type of anchor you have. We tried and it work perfectly for top rope and lead climbing.
Average height of HK wall is
hi there, im a starting youtuber myself and I want to give you a video tip. its up to you what you do it. your video overall is nice but maybe its interesting for you to upgrade your viewer experience by color grading you footage, you could get it far more lively.
like the way you do the rest so shout out to you and keep it up!!
great info, short, to the point, no bull$it
great, I just bought a rope on Wednesday 😌
I would like to see a video of the best ropes in the market, for you what is the best rope that is today 2019, and I wanted to know if there is much difference between a rope of 9.5 and 9.7 in durability, I was seeing several STERLING brands, BEAL, BLUE WATER, MAMMUT AND TENDON, the latter is new I see some reviwes speaking very well but also speaking very badly of the rope TENDON
hey yall, whats a good way to train from home? ive seen a couple of campus boards and hanging holds but im not completely sure what to go for.
Hi, We will be covering training in a Friday gear show soon. In the mean time check out this training series: www.epictv.com/media/podcast/lattice-training-trx--rings/605850
New England Maxim has been saving my life for many years now, highest quality, most rugged rope on the market in my opinion.

How long would you say is safe to keep a rope? Or should I just watch my rope and check it frequently?
Check the manufacturing guidelines. But I give it a quick check whenever I am flaking out a rope. If you notice any wear then go in for a closer look. Generally I retire a rope every year depending on how much I use it. Although my trad ropes tend to last longer as I don't take as many falls on them. - Matt
***** Thanks for responding! MEANS A LOT!
Personally I climb trees so I use a larger diameter rope. I use Sterlings Safari rope for SRT climbing. I find the smaller diameter ropes 9.1-9.5 to be harder on my grip. 10.5-11.5 is way easier.
Hey. what rope would i use to go down/up a mine-shaft with?
M80 you would want static because you would be repelling down and then ascending up but you will want a black diamond ATCXP for your air traffic control device
Sterling static, rescue rated. He had a Sterling climb rope, which would work too, Marathon is a beastly climbing rope.
I'm here to train. It's not like google won't help me find out how to do things like this. Anyways, how's your day? Thanks for the rope advice and all. I'll see you all soon!
My first rope was a Mammut Gravity classic 10.2. I had intended it to be a burly beater rope and for the most part it was. The only issue with it was that the longer I had it, the stiffer it got. For example, when belaying with an atc guide, at first it fed smoothly and i could top belay with ease. But after a few weeks of sweaty hands, it became quite difficult to tie knots and started jamming in the atc. I would not suggest that rope because of the stiffness and its really quite heavy for the thickness.
Bass Beans did you ever wash the rope? I've had ropes stiffen up from all the dirt and wet weather in my area but a simple wash and they were all good. As a bonus if you have a dry rope you can use certain washes that refresh the dry treatment.
Trevor, yeah I did wash it a few times thinking that it was just dirty. Yet after it had dried it was still stiff. I even tried to contact Mammut about the issue but I never got anything back. And keep in mind the rope was not unusable, it was more of a slight inconvenience. It's currently living out its days as a dedicated top rope.
I did the same roughly (with a blue water lightning pro double dry). I got tired of killing my $300 70m on a gym wall so I got an eldrid pika at 40m for indoor. It feeds like glass right now though.
what if you are rappelling doing some mountaineering solo? and would you rap of a 30 or 60
60M static line would be best for rappel
Is it better to use a bright color rope for mountaineering, or does that matter?
Generally ropes are bright colours so I wouldn't worry too much. Although we recon that wearing bright clothes in the Mountains is more important than the rope.
Bright colors will help when canyoneering, when doing a water entry, so you know for sure the rope is in the water.
like your mash up!!!!!!!
a good vid m8
Nice video. But should have been a little more explanation.
When a climbing rope becomes stiff, is there a way to bring back its flexibility?

I'm relativly new to outdoor climbing and i don't get the benefit of a twin rope. Because when i can't clip it into different pieces of protection like a half rope then why not just use a single rope? Because when i need to double it up i can't believe that it is lighter than a single rope. Or do i just use it to have the chance for long rapells? But i mean when there wouldn't be benefits of using a twin rope it wouldn't be on the market. So can anybody explain this to me?
Twin ropes allow the convenience of being able to split up the load for the partners to carry, as well as being able to rappel a full pitch. If you just brought a single rope along with you on a 60m pitch you would have to split it up into two rappels, thereby increasing the effort required as well as the chance of an accident. Most accidents happen on rappel.
Ropes don't snap, but they do get cut over sharp edges when you weight them. This is a rare occurrence too, but you are more likely to encounter this kind of terrain when doing alpine or trad climbing. It may not be practical to avoid a situation where you have to run your rope over a sharp edge.
So basically a climber needs 4 different ropes ? one for sport climbing at the crags, 2 for big wall climbing/Long routes and a small one for the climbing wall ? and possibly another one for Mountaineering ?
Quite expensive ! But will that be cheaper than the Beal rope that does everything ?
George M well, i got a double rope, and used it for everything... alpine long routes. Sport climbing, i clipped both ropes most of the time, so that if there was a fall it would take less strain. Did this for many years. If you do a lot of sport climbing as well as long routes, later on, get a cheaper thick single rope as a workhorse for sport only.
And i started on routes in chamonix after a short few months sport climbing.... dont wait years, alpine is where its at for views, volume and transcendence.
Unfortunately watching this after today a green beret officer of Cyprus national guard dropped at 50+ meters during a climbing exercise. The first indications are showing that the cause was the rope that simply snapped.
"Big thick bad boy" 😂
So.... how does the So ILL climbing shoes perform?
Can you use dynamic ropes to give Belay in a rrapelling?
What about the difference between Dry and NonDry rope?
it's about how much water it will absorb. i think for something to be considered having a 'full dry' treatment, UIAA tests the rope to ensure that there is less that 5% absorption of water.
Connor Furneaux as benjatronic said, it is a treatment applied to the rope so when the UIAA test it, it absorb less than 5% of its weight in water. What this means is that the rope should never get more than 5% heavier due to icy/watery condition. So when you're doing ice climbing, your rope won't be destroyed as much by tiny ice shards that can grow in it because of water! It also adds protection against friction and dirt, so even in sport climbing, it can have some benefits. The down side is usually, they are more "stiff" in the belay device and are relatively much more expensive...
Having used both, I'd recommend a dry rope, for dirt and abrasion resistance.
How the heck do you belay half rope?
With an ATC. My guess is you’re a gym climber and only know about GriGris. Am I way off?
wHICH ONE CAN YOU RECOMMEND ME BETWEEN FINESSE MAMMUT 9.3 OR GALAXY DRY10.0 FOR ROCK CLIMBING, ALPINISM AND DURABILITY ROPE
IRENE FLOWERS dont buy a rope thats this thick . buy between 9.2 and 9.8
How can i determine or to know the maximum capacity of the rope can carry ?
It's written on the package like with a carabiner. It's measured in KN
Pink not orange... Ok maybe salmon :)
Isn't every single rope able to be used as half and twin as well? Other than it being fat af, what's the diff?
Mainly just the weight. Single ropes are usually thicker and heavier...
Witch rope is top Best quality rope and price world's best one
Orange is the new Black
he didn't talk about the lenght of the ropes ..
what is there to know ? you need twice the lenght of the route to get on the ground, or you just make another anchor on the way when abseiling
Dude watching this now makes me miss the walls
Matt you keep casually talking about ropes breaking as if it happens quite often. I don't rope climb at all so I have no idea, but does this actually happen?
Hi, Possibly a bit of an exaggeration. I always retire a rope long before it would ever break. They are really strong. But you need to look after them and check for signs of wear. If it's in the back of your mind then you won't climb as well. If your unsure ask someone at your local climbing wall...
Why wouldn’t you be able to buy two single ropes and use them as half ropes? Perhaps I can’t seem to understand that
Hey of course you can do but the weight of two single ropes is a lot more than getting double ropes.
"You can´t use twin ropes like half ropes." doesn´t explain why. -.- Good video -.-
Inoubliable Douleur because they are rated to take the fall as a pair
Back when Matt still had hair
No, you're not allowed to say "big thick bad-boy".
What's a good rope for a fat guy. 110kg!
all i want to be is tarzan
Then i dont recommend becoming a climber. Rather be an obstacle runner or SurvivalRunner
3,000lb paracord exists. I bought 100ft just to see
James weird how as a climber I still wouldn’t trust it. Somethings just get too ingrained in you, like not using paracord for climbing.
While paracord is stretchy, safety ropes are designed to be dynamically loaded and stretched. It’s sort of why you wouldn’t want to use any old rope for sailing, you want something that is designed for the application. I’m sure you wouldn’t die using a high strength paracord, but it may not feel as comfortable to fall on.
@@mrs_radrod I'm not a climber. It's just in case I need strong cordage for something without paying climbing rope prices.
@@James-ke5sx Maritime rope? Climbing rope is rated for low load because its a safety item, not because it cant hold lots of static load.
@@dariusallison5333 Hi, I would never use it for climbing. I just bought it just out of curiosity.
which one will help me climb to heaven?
Can i eat the Ropes?
THEY LOOOOOOOOOOKS SOOOOOOO CUTE
Matt, you got a terrible handwriting...
How shall anyone read what you wrote on your left hand?
Ha! That was dates for an upcoming trip with Petzl...
Is he talking about ropes or gender.
From the look of his soy riddled self I'd guess gender.
After seeing this guy showing how to do knots, he lost most credibility regarding 'technical' stuff.
Rope in climbing is the biggest scam, they're ridiculously marked up. Make your own rope. If you don't know how, learn how to. All you need is a few hundred meters of clear space somewhere, and a good rope making machine. Then you can grade it for exactly what you need too, you can customize it perfectly. You'll save yourself thousands.
