I don't know of a safer way to clean a two bolt anchor. You will also notice that Janelle used two slings to connect her locking carabiner to her harness for redundancy - this is something I haven't done previously and will take into consideration from now on. Thanks for the video guys! Short, sweet and very informative
Rap rings are constantly shifting the lowering point so you dont get the grooving associated with carabiners or quick links as anchor points. They will last many many years. Even the bolts themselves will be more suspect before the rap rings wear out. This is well accepted to be the cleanest, safest way of cleaning an anchor. Could have tested the new system before untying the original tie-in first though...
This depends on the ethics of the area and the anchor hardware. The rappel rings in this video are most likely steel, as seen by the weld in the ring. These will withstand at least thousands of lower-offs before creating grooves large enough to weaken the ring or damage a rope.

Very fast indeed. However, there is a problem, e.g. in Poland it is forbidden to slide directly through the rings - they wear out too quickly. Sorry for my english xD
Pretty dumb imo, they are easy and cheap to replace as far as I'm concerned, much safer and cheaper than leaving gear on the wall or repelling and paying a funeral for noobs
No, this isn't an issue where there isn't an edge- we're concerned with metal on metal anywhere where it's limiting factor- the reduced flexibility, would be an issue. On a masterpoint, here, this is a recommended use.
@@zonlymachine Sure- metal on metal is a general rule of thumb that's floated around for a long time. The reason is that carabiners are not rated for torsion forces (bending and twisting). When you have a nylon connection point, you can be certain that things will be able to move freely to avoid this. However, metal on metal is still fine in any other situation, like this one, where there won't be and bending or twisting going on, as forces are in line and not over an edge.
All the information was contained within the video wasn’t it?! What’s your issue?! You needed her to take 20 minutes to show something she can do in one minute?! Re watch it 20 times if your brain is too slow.

Oh my days this is, no exaggeration, the single best climbing tech video I've ever seen. Where have you been all my life, production team :o ❤
Lol all hear tail literally just disappeared
Ha ha, good spotting 😂

It's probably a longer sling folded double, not two slings.
In this video, sometimes, the quickdraws are clipped into the rings, sometimes into the bolts. What is the recommended way?
in the end the figure of eight on a bight tail got shorter
Considering the longevity of the anchors, isn't it better to rappel off the rap rings rather than lowering?

How you do?
How else are you supposed to get down 🤷🏻♂️

@@climbjaysome people would abseil instead
Isn’t metal on metal a bad idea?

Nathan Lachow is there another way to explain that , still didn’t quite understand

What do you think happens every time you clip a quick draw to a bolt
Were you trying to teach or was it a race? Seemed more like a race to me.
It was much better than some videos where they talk 10 min long without much informations

You should live up to your name and smile more ;)
