    Looks very similar to the rock I have out here in Arizona. At least yours isn’t 110 degrees. Really enjoyed the video!

    Thanks for a nice video. I’ve been TRS climbing for some years and just got the Lov3 delivered. I’ll use it with a Micro Trax as backup ascender . I’ll lift the Lov3 with a chest harness & string, never been a fan of straps around my neck. Should make transitions a lot smoother than Camp Lift+Micro traxion to climb and another set to descend (Grigri + camp lift and a long sling to offload the rope)

    Why do you not rappel with it? I noticed you were using the ATC to rappel. I rappelled with it the other day and it works great. My only gripe is that it can take a little pressure on the handle to get it going. On another note, I use a microtrax as a backup. it was bunching up with the LOV3 though; But after watching your video, it gave me some ideas on how to separate them more. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate it!

    hello, a question: do you use static or dynamic rope for the taz lov 3 and how thick is it? greez from austria

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  2 роки тому +1

      For climbing I mostly use a dynamic one. Makes me feel safer with the backup device (Petzl ascender).
      It’s 10mm.
      Sometimes I use a 11mm static.

    You really don't want to be extending your lower backup ascender. If you are having trouble with the device touching each other you should extend the upper device further.
    By extending the lower device you're risking larger falls onto the device and damaging the rope.

    Im Toprope mit einem zweiten Sicherungsgerät zu arbeiten macht für mich mehr Sinn als mit Sicherungsknoten und Maillon da rumzumachen.
    Ansonsten wieder mal ein interessantes Video und deine Solotouren die du machst stehe ich ja eh total drauf, gibt nich viele die so unterwegs sind. 👍🏼

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  3 роки тому +1

      Ja, das sehe ich auch so. Wollte es auch nur mal probieren. Aber da bleibe ich doch lieber beim Ascender.
      Danke :)

    Hey Ripper! What is your favorite rope for training solo; brand, size and length please, and also for rappel. Thanks!

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  3 роки тому

      Hey,
      I have no specific favorite. At the moment I use a 10mm rope from Edelrid. Length is 80m. But I also used a Maxim Ropes 9,1mm 60m and earlier I used a 7,9mm half rope in 60m.
      But I think I will prefer sticking to 80m, because the rocks I climb at the moment, are tall. On a smaller rock I would prefer 60m or less. It also depends on the rappel. If a longer one is needed or not.
      The diameter depends on the device and if weight is an issue or not ;)

    Why the LOV3? In the past you used RollnLock, and of course a microtrax and grigri combo is quite common. Any advantages you see over that?

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  3 роки тому +4

      Because the rope goes through it in a straight way. So it slides up really easy.
      Advantage over the RollNLock is, that changing to rappel is a lot easier.

    Hi, was ist das denn für ein Gummiband, das du um den Hals hast? Sieht recht komfortabel aus.. soweit man das sagen kann. Meine Ideen bisher waren recht unbequem..

    I don’t like that ascender placement in the case of a fall, looks like a bit of a risk smashing your nuts

    I have seen other people put the cord through the biner hole, not the tiny hole. I think the tiny hole is so arborists can't drop it

    Sorry to say but the fish eye distortions and the many movements make this video very unprofessional.
    There are better helm cameras, like those fixed at the side of the helmet.
    The camera used here is o.k. for open spaces but not for rock climbing routes or in forests.
    Watch how the trees form a bow.

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  6 місяців тому

      I know, that this is not a professionally produced video. This is not what UA-cam is about.
      In my opinion this GoPro is just fine for this. And just moving the camera from the top to the side will not do much. But I am open for new ideas. So please be so kind and tell me the name of the camera you are talking about. Thx

    You seem to be considering all kinds of backup for your climbing which is good but then you seem to be forgetting all about that when you are abseiling which is potentially a lot more dangerous. Seriously, back up your abseils if you value your life!

    • @ripperkon
      @ripperkon  Рік тому

      So you would add an ASAP to two ropes? 🤔
      Or why should the prusik not be a valuable backup for rappelling?

      @@ripperkon sorry, I don't understand your reply. In the video is appears that you are abseiling with out a backup autobloc. Apologies if that is not the case. You can back up a double stranded abseil with a French Prussic around both brake stands. If for whatever reason you let go of the break strand(s), it will save your life.
