Youth is wasted on the young. I too was once young and fractured my skull and spent two weeks in the hospital. I only fell a few feet and I am sure a helmet would have greatly reduced my injury. I climbed for 10 more years without an issue. Sadly getting hurt made me a much better climber. My advice would be to learn as much about climbing and proper pro placement, wear a helmet and the biggest be very careful who your second is. A good second is very important and I cant strees this enough. I only let two people ever belay me after I learned my lesson the hard way. Have fun, be safe and dont be afraid to back off any climb, the wall will always be there.
I'm amazed at the number of people climbing routes that look pretty tough, yet they have no idea how to manage their feet and the rope. Never have the rope behind your foot, it's pretty simple.
I can't believe how many of them don't even have helmets. But, yeah, they set themselves up to rotate every time. I've never had that happen once. And if the harness isn't tight enough, they can slip right out of it when upside down. Lunacy
@csgo If this is a legit question, you never want it behind your foot/leg, because if you fall, at some point your body will fall past the rope anchor point (bolt or gear), which if it is behind you, will flip your body over as the rope cathches tight. So, you are head down, feet up, and quite likely smashing your head on the rock. It can be hard to visualize, but grab a piece of rope and play around using your hands. You will quickly see how falling with the rope behind you (when you're tied in at a poiint in front of you) is always terrible. At best, you're hurt and scared...at worst you're hurt and broken.
@@joby_obrien totally. I dont mean to bash ATC's as being faulty or dangerous or anything. But they do leave a lot more room for idiots like his belayer to do serious damage. I still absolutely blame the belayer
@@EvanTheHamburgler I actually prefer people learn on an ATC, you have to actually know what you're doing with an ATC. You get fools who learn on a grigri and they rely on the autostop so they do stupid things like this.
@@joby_obrien ATCs have no failsafe. They're inherently more dangerous. If your belayer gets hit on the head by a rock, or passes out from heat stroke, you're free soloing.
2:13 best belayer ever : he did not jump or made a dynamic stop, but instead he jumped himself backward in the slope so that the climber didn't touch the ground.
Yeah this was a great belay. Distance from the wall maybe could have been closer, but ice and outside... probably not. First rule of ice climbing is that you DON'T FALL WHILE ICE CLIMBING. This was a great catch and his climber did not hit the deck.
Before I got into rock climbing I used to ride BMX. We had a saying in BMX when someone would crash and instead of bailing they would just freeze up, get all tense, and wait for the incoming pain lol. There's an art to bailing, there's also an art to falling in climbing. There are plenty of dead sailors in this video
9:35 I'd like to make 2 points as a climber: 1. Dont hold onto the thing you're clipping in to. Easy to lose fingers. 2. This is the scariest fall for the climber. Look at how much slack they are holding in the rope!! Insane.
6:00 belayer should not be allowed to belay. The climber is below the fucking clip and still nearly hits the ground. No hand on the break end of the rope. Total dealbreaker. And again at 10:49. Who takes someone like that climbing!?
It's kind of amazing that the guy still managed to stop the fall, even with both hands above the atc! Obviously still an irresponsible idiot, but it could have ended a lot worse!
There has never been more people climbing with no clue of how to actually do it safely. For Gods sake half these fools jumped willingly with the rope behind their leg as if they had no clue they set themselves up to flip upside down.
@@archaeopteryxish I do a lot of rappelling as part of the caving here in Jamaica, and never use a prusik. Just a rack, and geared up to change to ascent if necessary. If you know what you're doing, a safety prusik is more dangerous than helpful.
@@JCO2002 It's not about "knowing what you're doing." I've rappelled miles and miles cumulatively over 10 years of climbing, and I nearly always use a prussik. Is it slightly less convenient? Sure, you gotta move your hands more. But if you get knocked on the head with a rock (totally out of your control) or for whatever other reason, you can't use your brake hand, it'll save your life. That said, I'm curious, under what circumstances is a prussik "more dangerous than helpful?"
@@archaeopteryxish Cool, whatever works for you is best. I'm approaching it as a caver, not a climber. Sometimes we do descents over 100m, free-hanging (well away from the wall), and I like to pick up speed on those to reduce time in the harness (cuts the circulation off in my legs). I can't do it with a prusik. But, yes, man, if that's what you prefer, do it.
I can't claim to be a world class climber (hardly), but some of these bozos shouldn't be leading on rock where they don't have even close to the stamina to make it to the top. The ice bozo is hammering at a delicate piece of ice, that I could see would barely take that treatment even if it held, that, on a vid too. And those asses climbing without rope. That is only for world class climbers, not just weekend warriors, who have moves like an epileptic on a seizure. Then there is the broken hip wonder who ran out 20+ feet on a take off without a piece in. And that one with the 50 + foot leader fall ... whahoo he says ... so put him down as a future Darwin Awards winning candidate. Climbing can get you killed, or worse ... climb above your level in safety to develop the stamina and technique to sustain at least the full length of what you are planning to lead. The rope is there for the unforeseen, not in lieu of common sense.
Mauricio Alfaro A bozo is a clownish dilettante that has an inflated self concept. Hence, they attempt dangerous or difficult tasks/projects without a realistic perspective on their own abilities. Hopefully they will just hurt themselves, though we know occasionally, they include others.
I climbed for 6 years on sport and it's shocking to see some of the mistakes people make on this vid: no helmet on lead, terrible belay methods, holding onto gear when above your safety, running out of a route without placement? :/ Be careful people, and pick your partners well! Good luck
Cameraman is the most important person. He have to take a perfect shot even if the climber falls and dies, because you can only film that person fall and die one time, so its best to stay focus and dont waste a perfectly good shot.
OMG, how did that rope get so slack @:45?? I saw the tension even after the belayer locked in! @5:36, GGAAAAHHH! My ass just made a diamond watching that dude drop
I bet a lot of these guys were sore as fuck after the adrenaline wore off. I took a spill from about 10 ft out of a tree and landed on my head. At first I felt fine but after a couple hours, totally different story. But then again I'm 43 now and no where near as resilient as I was in my 20s
Ive been climbing for a little while but I don't really understand what a "hard catch" is. Wouldnt you want to catch someone as fast as possible? hope someone can explain
Probably it's called something else, as this is a term translated from Russian. When belaying a lead climber you should let some rope slip or move forward/jump if the climber falls (if there is enough distance below the climber), so the catch is softer for the climber.
The ratio between given rope l and height of fall h determines the catching force on the falling climber. The more slack you have, the softer the fall is. That is why a 2m fall at the beginning of the route is not as comfortable as a fall at the end of a route.
Softer catch also puts less shock load on gear, I imagine. Im not an experienced trad climber, but it would make sense that a questionably placed stopper is less likely to rip out if the forces are dispersed a bit
Same. It looks like the belayer just let the rope slide, but his right hand was in the breaking position right? So what happened? Edit: It looks like the cam the guy placed snapped out of place at 1:53.
@@alexruiz2913 When you belay with an unassisted device the breaking hand must be at least at your hip level and behind the vertical plane. Next to your butt cheek. That's why the rope slid. Maybe a cam also failed making the forces even greater but still no excuse for the belayer
It will be more dangerous, because a chest harness could damage some vital organs in case of a bad fall. Not saying that the organs around the sit harness are not vital :)
I'm not an outdoor climber or extremely experienced, but I know if you think you're going to fall, yell "falling," to alert your belayer and other climbers. I heard one climber yell that (another yelled "take." And yes, that's more of an indoor climbing thing when one is done with the route. Some outdoor climbers say "tension.") I also know when you are falling, you might be scared shitless and forget to yell anything but a scream. If rocks are cascading down yell "rocks" to warn people below, as when you throw a rope over and edge and yell "rope" as a warning.
I think because he is close to the ground the belayer has basically no slack out. The bolt is out to his left so when he falls he has nothing to absorb it and pendulums over and it causes him to flip
I’m fairly new to climbing. How is it that even I understand, these guys are giving way to much slack and are trash at belaying. They’re embarrassingly careless with the climbers lives.
You were taught to do this by your enemies... you don't know they exist, but you climb... and fall. If you tried supporting your loved ones with as much effort instead of climbing rocks your family would be doing great and you wouldn't be crippled. Food for thought...
I have a daughter she watched free solo and didn't blink for the whole climb I bought her lessons at a indoor facility where her trainer say to me she's hooked she has no fear on the wall shes only 9 her mother can't watch I don't like to either but she live for it what have I done
She's top roping; it's common in gyms. The rope is attached at the top, no clips (rope is secured at the top). It is due to 1. the wall being overhung (at an angle) and 2. bad belayer. He probably could've taken in more slack, or at least stretch in the rope. Also, when she does fall, he moves forward instead of staying put. In my opinion, it is about 50/50. When climbing on overhung walls in gyms, if you slip you always swing out, and lower than where you were climbing even with a stellar belayer.
I am going to work on a blow up bag for climbers as soon as they are in free fall the suit would just blow up and save them from catastrophic bone damage
I also think a new harness is definitely something that I would redesign because when these people fall they swing in completely awkward directions I'm not a climber but I sure would like to help design some new harnesses in addition to my body bag that blows up

Bad idea to fight gravity, they always win at the end.
People not wearing helmets are a disgrace to the sport.
Why do they rock climb without helmets????

that lady at 0:49 what was her rope attached to. how the hell could she swing that far out
