2 and 7 are teached at my gym so that

Their anchor and rappel point do not line up. Could have used a redirection on the rappel? Or moved over to line up. Also the edge attendant’s tether was either not shortened or the capture device was not rigged correctly and checked for function. People near the edge who do not have to be.

I use 1 whenever im able to

Looks good to me! No comment :-)

That is very clever method. 👍

Superb!

Great explanation. 👍

Hard no on #6

Great video. It seems just as easy to tie a normal master point and put a small non-locker inside the overhand knot to make it easy to untie. I've seen many guides use this trick and have used it myself, but I am curious if anyone has ever strength-tested this method.

What kind of sorcery is this…?

Great technique. 😀

Can we please just stop using take as a command for tensioning the rope? Take and slack sound dangerously similar. Calling "tension" is much less likely to be confusing.

This may have also already have been mentioned previously in the many, many comments, but when I did my SPI we learned a couple of additional ways to deal with an injured climber after setting up the tandem descent. Either, position them in a side saddle fashion cradled in your lap, or behind you piggyback style.

Also... In the instance where there is slack in the system, would it be better to attach the GriGri above the ballet device?

Would it be a better practice to tie that backup knot as close to the bottom of the device as possible? A fall of even a few feet could be injurious, and, in the case of a novice climber, more than a little disconcerting.

Hi! Question, if you are still reading the comments: why do you use a clove hitch instead of just hooking the end of the sling on the carabiner? Or if the sling is too long, just tie an overhand knot and hook that.

Excellent explanation I kept getting confused with the part about the slip knot only capturing the lid strand versus capturing both until I saw this video

This is the best video on YT for the CT hitch, thank you

You should test a carabiner with a round stock so you can determine if it's the shape of the rod. I think it could be the small size and curve of the ring causing it to slip so low.

I find this really helpful because I’ve never preferred girth hitching the connect adjust to my belay loop but it also cinches very tight and is uncomfortable girth hitched through the hard points of your harness. While you lose a bit of length, this is a great solution to that issue. Thanks for sharing!!

I want to know what happened to the technique where one simply made the twist and inserted their locking krab or two opposing snap links? I mean for a rock to fall and cut the sling -if this was suspected then I'm going to build in more redundancy if possible. By simply making the usual twist and using the screw gate (yes i may have to leave it) but if the load for some reason ie the body has to move due also to a rock fall, then if the anchors are not equi spaced as you show in the ideal setup, then the loads will shift unevenly using the girth hitch method i believe.

Really appreciate your videos Karsten!

Seems fun to have a ring, but why have kit that can do one job rather kit (biner) that can do a range of jobs. Also, carrying a ring seems tricky, you need to put it on a biner!!!!

Completely lost from second 3

I think that a little more emphasis on removing the knots on the way down (after the 12 minute mark) would be a good idea. It would be a real pain to get one unjammed from the grigri if you settle against it with the weight of two people.

These guys right on the edge NOT secure is what is killing me the most…would have been death if the line of the abseiler made them trip Belayer and abseiler are just silly bugger they just need to be away from each other and the line of action of the abseiler specially - abseilers position is not the best. I would not personally chosen that location either. It not appropriate for beginners.

Павленковский вариант удобнее. Верёвка легче идёт.

One of the top 3 explanations on TH-cam. Thank you so much. Love the slip knot demos. I can see how if you tie the mule incorrectly it's like the slip knot that's really "nothing" as you say, but when this is done as a hitch capturing only the load stand, won't it hold it to some extent? What actually happens if you incorrectly tie the hitch this way and then back it up with the overhand? Will it certainly fail, or will it just be less reliable?

#2 and #7 !

This is an awesome tip!

Amazing difference! Thanks for this video👏👏 Hugs 🙋

Build an anchor in a horizontal with tricams: effective Build an anchor in a horizontal with regular cams: sketchy. Risk death

7:10 Clove hitch with the rope on a locker on harness would also work here? Can just adjust the clove every 3m or so.

The original one all day

Location ...

This is the best explanation I've seen of the MMO, thank you for this

I love that! Thanks for the trick 😁 I suppose if you don't have a second system you can always introduce another locker to the sling, keeping the rope on the correct side as you introduce it.

Amazing, never would have thought of that!

Probably the coolest little trick I’ve seen for a while. Can’t believe I have seen or worked that out before! Huge thanks for this…

Sick

But where is she personal ancor is? With two mustages

Are you using a Munter’s tongue or just getting lucky with invades?

I don't really understand why extending the munter would make the rope twist more... Also, would it be an option to extend a super munter and back it up with a prussik hitch?

Tried that yesterday. Works great and comfy for IV class!

Love it! I would only put the spine of the carabiner towards the 'break side' of the hitch, rather than the gate, which could rub the gate's screw lock open. Thanks for sharing this technique!

Awesome

Orientation of the carabiner on the left bolt got my ocd goin…

Can you make a shelf above the girth hitch?

I’d tell then to go back to the big city, where they obviously belong.
