yes loll as soon as i got into climbing the f i r s t thing i did was pulled up a list of The Jargon it's like learning the accent in a foreign language. *most* important part
Québec ASMR My mom taught us to belay like that and when we tried to use it out in public everyone was like "Why are you using that ancient sketchy belaying method." I did not have a good answer for them. So now we do it the modern way.
Joy Fitzgerald the appropriate answer really was..... please show me a better way. Open minds and willingness to learn a better way is how you stay alive.... Look Back in time many methods have changed
+Québec ASMR Yes he will, that belay method was used for belaying with a Munter's hitch. Using that technique with a belay device is incredibly unsafe.
I learned this belay style. Then I didn't climb for like 13 years, then I started back in indoor (climbing to a soundtrack is new-- you're at the mercy of the desk person's pick; yesterday the kid was into like Skrillex). So the first time in the gym I started to belay my sis (who also learned the same style), and the employee freaked out. "What. Are. You. DOING!?" She'd never even seen it. All climbers & mountaineers used to do this. Like someone said here: 'Mountaineering, Freedom of the Hills.' Climbing's different now. It seems more diluted. Still ethereal, but very... crowded. I have a crush on this guy.
Funniest thing I've seen for an age, I recognised things I say and things everyone I know say. I'm going to watch my mouth at the crag from now on. Hilarious!
he is never breaking off when he belays. when belaying it is always best to break before you slide instead of how he is doing it which is staying above the belay device and sliding. you want to pull the rope up then take your hand beneath the belay device then slide.
Yup, comes from using the munter hitch, where the break position is up, unlike for ATCs or Gri-Gris where the break position is down. Better to use a slightly less safe (but still very much safe and acceptable) technique that is well practiced than a slightly more safe but unfamiliar technique that one is likely to mess up.
Dan Africk haha you realize how old this is.. I mean that's a first gen reverso. It's definitely not as safe but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen people who have been climbing much longer using "outdated" techniques.
When my friends and I don't know the beta for a route the other is climbing we'll, jokingly, sometimes say: 'just stay on the wall!' it's about as helpful.
I just caught how they shot it. Sometime around when he says this route is heady, you can see the other end of the rope swing into the frame for an instant. H'e not really belaying a person. He's belaying a rope. (Note he's taking rope--the other end should be attached to the climber's rig.)
Yeah, I think the belaying is part of the joke. If you take a whip like that off a top rope, your belayer should have to have the words "Can't belay" tattooed on his (or her) forehead--especially if you tell him falling! I don't know how they shot that part unless dude really is bomber belayer and the climber trusted him completely.

"Double dyno to a micro crimper!" If anyone can do that they win life.
bre08005 Could bet that Adam Ondra would do it..
Alex megos would be able to, his dynos are incredible
Sounds like 3 degrees of seperation
Yep that route is freaking n o
"I'm gunning for an alpine start tomorrow." *chugs beer*
Lmao! "dude there is no way this is 5.5; this is like 5.8.... d"
+Nick King was looking for this killed me
....5.8....d That was classic.
It seems learning the jargon of climbing is harder than the climbing itself.
yes loll
as soon as i got into climbing the f i r s t thing i did was pulled up a list of The Jargon
it's like learning the accent in a foreign language. *most* important part
I didnt realize we were this annoying. Ill shut up from now on.
+Ryan Heimpel I feel the same way
“Watch me!” while on top rope. 😂😂😂
This is the best "Shit Climbers say" video I have seen. Nicely done
"Dude, what state is this?" Been there, said that.
"This would be easier if I was shorter" - I am getting that on a t-shirt. Too funny.
"DUDE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LUNGE TO A CRIMPER"
B u t h o w
"Where the fuck am I?"
I'm dying xD
Needs way more talk about "conditions"
How else would we know if it’s sending temps?
"just move up" hahaha that makes me so angry :D
Should have included, "Man I ran that lead OUT!" "I just don't like to place too much gear"
You'll kill someone belaying like this.
Québec ASMR i don't want to be the climber falling while he grabs the 2 ropes . 100% dead

+Joy Fitzgerald It's not about old or new but about safe or unsafe. So good for you that you learned a safer method.
It's like every annoying guy I've ever climbed with.
HA! I'm a fan
Hilarious! I'm still laughing at the, "Elvis Leg!" O and The classic pull, pinch, slide belay technique you display is pretty rad too.
I learned this belay style. Then I didn't climb for like 13 years, then I started back in indoor (climbing to a soundtrack is new-- you're at the mercy of the desk person's pick; yesterday the kid was into like Skrillex).

I have a crush on this guy.
It's like 5.8... "D"! LOL
Too tall for this problem,its too crouchy, Too short for this problem,its to reachy.Aaale Aale. Bums in... Waaatch out!
hahah damn elvis leg
+nuttylamb ahaha 'Im all shook up... uhuhuh'
All this time I thought he was saying "albus leg" and wondering what the hell that meant! haha
Haha me 2 :D
I always love going out with my incredibly talented, hard-working son on a climb. This vid made me laugh so hard, it’s so apt!
"Just double dyno to a microcrimper" hahahaha. I have a guy in my gym that will give ridiculous instructions like they're nothing too.
The belay method was part of the joke right?
+Caleb Mallory I really hope so!
hand goes down like a hand to your thigh and PBUS is the method pull break under slide
just watching him belay makes me cringe
+Benoit Cerrina And I thought it was just me. :)
I reckon there was no one up there and it was just for filming
^--- This should've been in the video XD
Benoit Cerrina yea
just enjoy the video bro
Double-dyno to micro-crimper hahaha
Been using "Elvis Leg" for years. Glad it is now accepted climbing jargon :D
The funniest thing I've watched in a while! Love the part when he says I'm getting a alpine start tomorrow then slams a beer... Priceless!!
ENGAGE YOUR CORE
I haven't climbed with this guy, I never would again
"Why am I climbing this wall", after a hit of the bong.
where the fuck am i, gets me every time lmfaoo
I climbed with a guy that described all of his climbs as 'cake'. 'Yeah man, it was cake.' He became Charlie Cake.
The most cringe of them all is "Let's goo, so strong!!"
in a fuckin slab
3:18
My climbing in a nutshell
"Just move up!" Ha. Great idea.
bre08005 Not if THAT bozo is belaying, thankyouverymuch.
Funniest thing I've seen for an age, I recognised things I say and things everyone I know say. I'm going to watch my mouth at the crag from now on. Hilarious!
what the fuck is that belay technique
Haha is this Malibu Creek State Park?! Fantastic video, gave me a good laugh years late
he is never breaking off when he belays. when belaying it is always best to break before you slide instead of how he is doing it which is staying above the belay device and sliding. you want to pull the rope up then take your hand beneath the belay device then slide.
"You can't just climb 7 days a week and not get injured" haha
omg, everything is spot on, even the Ahnuld voice!
Yup, comes from using the munter hitch, where the break position is up, unlike for ATCs or Gri-Gris where the break position is down. Better to use a slightly less safe (but still very much safe and acceptable) technique that is well practiced than a slightly more safe but unfamiliar technique that one is likely to mess up.
Literally laughed out loud the entire vid! Thank-you very much, I needed that :)
"what state is this?" Made me laugh so hard
QUIT SHORT ROPING ME
I watch this video way to much all for the doubly dyno to micro crimper line
Now if only he would learn how to belay.. An ATC is not a munter hitch..
Dan Africk haha you realize how old this is.. I mean that's a first gen reverso.
It's definitely not as safe but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen people who have been climbing much longer using "outdated" techniques.
You can not trust anyone that drinks Budweiser and belays like that!
“There’s no way this is 5.5 it like 5.8...D!” 😂
"This is like 5.8 ... d!" hahaha I've definitely made an excuse like that before!
“That’s not how I did it” I say that in my brain but want to say it out loud but know I can’t
loved the edit on the falling bit, :) lmao.
we have all said some of these phrases.?!
Didn't know Joe Satriani was a rock climber.
+Connor Anderson HAHAHHAAHAHHAA. That's amazing.
"you know I think this might be easier if I were shorter" - I say that so much!
Oh my gosh, that's hysterical. Clearly Mary & Attila have climbed with or near my circus in the past! Now that's funny!
yooo
hello 2012 video how you doin during our apocalypse
"Take this route to sendtown, dude!"..... "Elvis leg!" hahahahahaha, genius.
"Just move up!" lmao if only it were that easy
When my friends and I don't know the beta for a route the other is climbing we'll, jokingly, sometimes say: 'just stay on the wall!' it's about as helpful.
The ending killed me
dude learn to belay
"where the fuck am I!?"
I just caught how they shot it. Sometime around when he says this route is heady, you can see the other end of the rope swing into the frame for an instant. H'e not really belaying a person. He's belaying a rope. (Note he's taking rope--the other end should be attached to the climber's rig.)
"Where the f*** am I?" hahahah
He is quite hot, has anyone noticed this yet?
slip slap slide makes me so nervous lol
Best climbing video I've seen
WHAT THE HELL SORT OF BELAYING IS THAT?!
+irishboy0909 Posted in 2012 dude. Belaying style has changed alot since then.
His hand never leaves the break end, you guys are babies. It’s top rope
"This would be a v2 at My gym!"
Dude reminds me so much of 'Dr.Cox' from Scrubs, love it!
Where’s the sequel!?!?!?!
Liked that fart at the end!
Doesn't really matter as long as you know where the brake position is and that you can put it into that position at anytime.
"this is not 5.5... more like 5.8....D" ahahaha
Bro I died at the Elvis leg
watch me, watch me... WATCH WHIP
"What route is this?" Use all the time
This is like 5.8...d:''-0
im a new comer to the climbing community and i cant relate to this video. hilarious.
"more like a 5.8...d" hahaha
Still funny all these years later >.=.
Yeah, I think the belaying is part of the joke.

What do you do when you are belaying and a grisly bear comes after you?
Elvis leg killed me
this is sooo funny. and true to life. it happens by accident sometimes
wow that Belay technique... and People dont get it when i try to explain why an italian hitch is better than a tube...
fucking hilarious dude! you killed it :)
I would never let you belay me
Bwahaha. This is so great. Thanks for posting!
You forgot "Allez, allez!"
This is life. This is my life.
Thats why my m8s know they gotta shut tf when im climbing
That's some raunchy belaying!
Take, taaake, taketaketaketake!
