This series is so perfectly timed for the season! Canyoning isnt a huge sport in California and therefore there aren't a lot of (healthy) bolts on canyon routes. Do you guys have a natural anchors video? Retrievable and non-retrievable..? What rope systems/retrieval systems work best for which anchors (trees vs chockstones etc...)
retrieval/anchor design will have more to do with the direction of pull and extension(or not) to the ledge, and obstacles to the pull than it does tree vs stone, etc. Having redundancy in your anchor is based on need and availability. Meat anchor if you can do so safely. Get familiar with slinging existing features and extending with webbing plus building deadmans, that will cover many situations needing natural anchors. They had a good video on the fiddlestick which is the go to retrievable in many instances. There's also retrivalable Deadman type equipment things ...bags you fill with sand then release but I've never used one. And most importantly as to what works best: th-cam.com/video/5r50PN99rGI/w-d-xo.html
I came back to the video without my glasses on, and the pattern on Brent's shirt blended with the rope so well I was trying to figure out if it was some crazy body rappel wrap or the result of a horrible accident with lot of rope lash.
Sooooo keen for the next video where Ryan gets quizzed. Haha I’m going to pause the video and think of what I would do and then see what’s actually being done
We love our PaliKoas. Doesn't seem any bulkier and besides the added versatility than the critr or hoodoo, I like the consistency of the friction points.
The naming of the isolated and compound systems is so counter intuitiv, because in the isolated system the ropes to descend are connected and in the compound system the ropes are basically isolated from each other, to where it can be done with two not connected ropes.
Dear Ryan, can you please do your magic and make palikoa pivot available for purcahse at Extreme Gear? Because We would like to support your channel, and it only available for purchasinf at the US
@@HowNOT2 nah, it comes with age as well don't be too hard on yourself, you are doing great job for all of the people around the world, I'm from Czech and watch your videos for last three years roughly, it brings great fun and informations as well as insurance in gear we are using. Keep up !!

Good question matt. I’m also interested

I never expected since watching this channel do only highline stuff, now making videos of my favorite toys

Great video!!Loving this series!It would be great to review the Totem Phoenix CRT a lot of different rappel ways just like this ones!
Been loving these canyon videos, and been wondering how this device works

Thanks for the laugh at the end.
Keep the videos coming!

Thank you
Loving the content. You guys rule!
You forgot to mention the Palikoa would make a great 'gansta' necklace' :-)
Could you guys break test a figure 8 descender in ascent mode ?

I think once you get above 10 to 1 redundancy sort of takes care of itself
BTW, who makes Palikoa pivot/element?
Glacier black. Link in description
Fine I'm buying one looool
Why not just a grigri?
Why use equipment with more moving parts?
In short: theres a lot of reasons that make a grigri a bad rapelling device for canyoning (although it would work )
@@dannyCOTW smaller, simple, works.....
@@mathiaslechner6103 is it like caving? Muddy n grubby?
@@colincarver893
Can be, but lots of gritty sand eats up devices.
You can call it a Mussolini
What a belly Ryan 😉👍
I know! It's all the editing trying to convince the world i do cool stuff. I should just do more cool stuff instead.

It seems like your channel has just become an advertisment for this guy.
