This is very cool, thanks for sharing! A couple of questions out of interest: is it standard practice to fix your ropes to equipment/infrastructure that's available on the roof, or do buildings sometimes provide 'dedicated' attachment points? Does this 'improvising' ever feel sketchy? I also see you sometimes clipping carabiner-to-carabiner; I suppose this is to avoid triaxial loading of the carabiners?
Yes often in some cases you must improvise or if it is bad tell clients you cant do the job, but experience helps make such choices. Often you find jobs that are lacking some anchors. Also understanding the strength of the bolts that hold them in place helps. The real world is not perfect like that of the class room. The reason I use carabiner-to-carabiner is it give the sling more of a surface to work with instead of having it bunch up in the smaller part of the carabiner and it is just easier to work with under the load of the ropes.
Hi! I watch all your videos! I also want to deal with access ropes I have seen many videos I want to ask you a few questions what equipment do you have? Which camera do you use on the helmet? PS I am waiting for the school to open for access with ropes at height! due to the pandemic are closed! I am waiting for any answer Thank you George
@@phoenixpharaoh9517 what would you be asking is a round trip? The tech in the video going down the rope? You can ascend the rope or personally to save time just use the elevator or stairs provided.
@@FalenAnjel2 Round trip would be going back up after the the job was done so I was wondering. I’ve seen a few videos and the few went down all the way.
@@phoenixpharaoh9517 Ah, ok, well yes techs will do either depnding on what is there, for stuff like this I would take the magic box up to save energy (partly lazy 😆). If say we're back to the offshore gigs, you can't go down so it's a cold climb up if you're outside... in the rain, uuh don't miss it.
They touch the ground then no need for them, use them if working levels above the ground otherwise they tend to snag on things when pulling them up like fasade structure.
im just a rock climber but slinging off random bits of metal work seems kinda sketcky? probably just held together with m6 bolts. i guess if you sling a few of em its good enough

That old croll for your rope pro is genius
where are you located?
Awesome man!!
Отличная работа:)
I love the strap, smart!
Cool 👍
Personally I would always use wire slings to hang my ropes from not endless soft slings especially when near any kind of steel fabricated 90 corner

Well done mate. Is this Melbourne? I think I have seen you before.
congratualation
What is the thing you used to clip on or tie off your rope protector onto the rope called? That could come in handy..
Its a croll (the part that allows you to climb) from an old harness when they expire you can harvest parts for this type of use mate
Tighten your gate up on the duck carabiner and get an edge protector

I got a question as well. Is it one way or round trip?

Metal slings?
No stopper knots at the end of your ropes?
They touch the ground then no need for them, use them if working levels above the ground otherwise they tend to snag on things when pulling them up like fasade structure.
@@hoffman411 but you aren't pulling then up until you're finished your drop so why not just untie them at the end?
What's the point of having a stopper knot if the ropes touch the ground?

Are they lifting slings? I’m pretty sure from they go through a different safety test and don’t Conform to irata standards but could be wrong also
I got them from a rope access shop
yeah those are lifting straps, not EN795
@@BobvanVelzen could be that they are, there are straps on the market that have the needed certifications

Why you forgot to make stop knots
You dont need too if they are touching the ground
You always need stopper knots in case of sheath damage. These would save your life!

ya that freaked me out too. Especially with the HVAC causing more than a 20 degree natural deviation putting even more force on the non-structural.
trusting your life to the HVAC guys hahaha hopefully they built it right.
