The climber should be holding the break strand that comes down to them. If you look at the video you can kinda see he is telling his son this with his hand gestures, but I think he should have covered this in the voice over really. But yeah if the rope comes out the clip then the climber should still be holding the break strand, if that makes sense?
@@dannyn55443 yes, the climber's hands are the key, plus the rope-capturing feature of the belay device (which still needs someone's hands on the break strand as per any belay from the top)
Nice I was just thinking about learning how to do this on a climbing trip with friends this week. good timing and good video
Now you've got some methods to go practice! Have fun out there!
so good
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the support! 🙏
Why not a locker on the assisted haul? If the nonlocker fails then suddenly there’s a ton of slack introduced before your brake hand catches them.
