    ----------
    Although "Rock Climb" will have more than 100 videos (7 hours+ of content), the program is designed to include maximum information in a concise way that is easy to understand and assimilate. For that reason most chapters are built on the knowledge acquired in previous ones (e.g., Rope Basics → Top-Roping → Lead Climbing → Sport Climbing → Trad. Climbing).
    ----------
    Rock climbing is fun but there is an element of risk. In some situations if you are not careful, the chances of serious injury or death are very real. A safety oriented mindset is essential.
    The right attitude includes not thinking that just by watching videos and reading articles you will become a safe and experienced climber. Experience comes with practice. Practice means making occasional mistakes and learning from them.
    We believe qualified in-person training should be the main way of learning and progressing in rock climbing. A good mentor, guide or teacher will make learning as safe as it can be, by assessing your level and every situation.
    Our videos are meant to inform and entertain. Although our videos can be very helpful, they are not meant to replace in-person teaching by a qualified professional, nor they are meant to replace reading and understanding the instructions and manuals of rock climbing equipment-which we strongly advise you to do. (Manufacturers recommendations occasionally change, and it is a good idea to stay updated by visiting their websites.)
    Have fun and be safe out there!

    I love the munter, I use it every time I belay off the anchor. I haven't experienced any kinking with my use, perhaps because I use an HMS biner. However, lowering you will get kinks so I avoid it for lowering or raps.

      If you have a parlay device to repel how come you don’t belay with that? Or do you use some kind o of descender? If you do how come?
      Sry about so many consecutive questions I am fairly new to the sport and want to learn as much as I can

      @@ravenelcurryv5374 i don't like locking devices because it's a pain to set up to lower. Munter you can just lower if you need, if your follower gets off route or needs to bail. If you have bolts to belay from, it's often a good idea to belay the leader directly off the bolts with a munter, because then a leader fall cannot pull you off your stance or into the wall th-cam.com/video/1CbFpRPYDm0/w-d-xo.html

    This might have been useful when my buddy dropped his GigaJul on the third pitch of Emigrant Wall, a nice 300 feet down!. I had to lead the rest of the way.
    Free BOOTY at the bottom of the wall for anyone that wants to trample through the sticker bushes to find it!
    This is why we tether our shit now.

      LOL yep you can rap off with a Munter in that situation... it will kink the heck out of your rope though. Nice work climbing your way out!
