- We talk about how to reduce risk when near the edge of a cliff. I use this skill set for setting up top ropes for rock climbing. This is a combination of skills, it there is anything you are unsure of do more research and as always practice skills in a safe environment.
Extremegear.org stocks most of the gear shown in this video.
"Never and always are generally used by novices and fanatics" I love that you acknowledge there are MANY nuances in the real world and that every situation is different. Never stop learning never stop practicing systems. Thanks for all the info Bobby!
This is such a great, precise video, every passage is explained perfectly and nothing is left behind... keep this up!
This is the exact video I needed when I started top rope climbing, all the other videos out there are great, but they seem to avoid this one topic which is so crucial! Great stuff.
Yes!! Ah I'm so glad you're making videos now Bobby, been a fan of hownot2 for a long time now and I always hoped you would start your own chanel for exactly this kind of content! Best of luck, cheers!
What a way to become an expert on edge safety :)
I'm super excited for more of your content. Keep up the great work!
Thank You, it's good to review the basics once in a while.
Solid, practical advice. The tree tie could be done with the triple wrap, a fig. 8 eye and locking biner to the incoming line; this creates practically no strength reduction. If this were a summitting scenario, the main rope left available might allow anchoring quite a ways from the edge, if no closer reliable anchors were found, but this might necessitate moving down the line closer to the edge for communication, and not pulling belay rope over the edge. Situational flexibility, and familiarity with a few alternatives to the formulaic systems taught now, can help a lot to avoid needless compromises.
Thanks for the great content! And don't mind if the topics that you want to talk about are already covered by other channels. Your experience brings a lot of value and the way you deliver your content is way more digestable than on other channels! Respect!
Bobby is just splendid to listen to
Your voice is very pleasing to hear. Cool content too!
5 5 alive - very helpful. Also the point regarding the root zone being solid.
Man this is so nice. I remember trying to set up my first top rope outside. I was crawling to the edge and then the anchor was still barely in reach even with my wingspan. This is way less sketchy. Awesome work!
i can't get enough of your safety tips! this is amazing content and very well explained and valuable to both new and seasoned rope-players, keep up the good work Bobby
This is great. I would love to see it from edge approach to anchor set up start to finish to the point where one is ready to climb. Loving these videos. Thank you.
Apart from all the justified praise of the content of the videos I want to highlight the editing. The videos are paced nicely, the information is not overwhelming while also being concise (this has to do both with editing and with the way you talk and present information).
Another absolutely banger video, man I am loving to new videos
Hey Bobby a little story for you.
I'm so glad you have a channel now! YES to Bobby content! You're a entertaining and enthusiastic teacher!
Very informative and well covered, while the only really new thing I learned was the "five five and alive" phrase I still enjoyed all of it. Great work, subbed for more quality content.
