Good informative video but since it's supposed to be an introduction I can't help but feel that there should have been video explaining beforehand explaining what the kit is. Having only ever done grade 1 scrambling without the need for ropes etc I have no idea what the kit is you're using, eg. the hexes, slings, crabs that you mention.
I completely agreed. He mentions a lot of stuff in his kit without explaining what any if it is ir why it's used, and doesn't go over any rope skills or techniques like the title of the video suggests.
In the U.S.A we'd grade this c. a 5.6 technical rock route on-rope. or one of 3 grades of "Bouldering" if climbed w/out gear. In Mountaineering rating there are 5 classes with the lower classes divided between "Scrambles" or "Climbs". This face is a "Climb" as you have to "put a hand down" frequently. Scramble is almost exclusively hiking at-grade. Rename the video if you can't even bother to show who or what your rope is connected to when you start ascending.
I don't know if this is different in other places, but I would not call climbing with a trad rack and a rope scrambling. Man's lead climbing a 5.4 or so in this video lol
No, scrambling. It’s essentially a way of describing traditional mountaineering. At lower grades it might involve no ropes at all, but higher grade scrambles can include low grade rock climbing but it uses techniques that allow you to move much faster. It involves using your hands rather than just walking, and route technicality usually sits in that area between walking and full-on rock climbing.

3:35 - whatever happened to the old classic of locking off belay plates? Dangerous technique to show people who might not know better!

Thanks James. That's very useful feedback. We'll look to add a new video explaining all that.
@@teamBMCTV Great, thanks for replying - i look forward to it!

This is fantastic! Thanks for making the video series. How thick a rope is that?
Nice I had an idea
Whats the super couloir been replaced with? Seems like it's no longer for sale...
is 30m of 8.5mm ok for this application ?
Pointless video when you're assuming the beginners you're targeting, understand the equipment you're describing (they don't!). Of zero help.
what route is this?
Hi Danny, it's on the Milestone Buttress on Tryfan.

Hiya, are you using static or dynamic rope here?
It's a dynamic single climbing rope.
I don't know if this is different in other places, but I would not call climbing with a trad rack and a rope scrambling. Man's lead climbing a 5.4 or so in this video lol
This is more of a, "what's in my kit video" . Has nothing to do with rope skills or techniques.
so, rock climbing. had to watch to see what the hell you meant by scrambling.
