Holy crap those soft-body 3D animations of the rope are incredible. Idk if you're making them yourself or paying somebody but A+ job on top of A+ content & delivery!
There is no knot in the end of the rope. If you put a knot in the end, it will get stuck in the lower-off point later when you pull your rope - which will be a problem. If you set up the system as shown, you will be tied into the rope at all times, therefore it is impossible to accidentally rappel off the end of the rope.
@@vdiffclimbing First of all, thanks for the quick response. Secondly, I agree but you still could go for a ride if the rope is to short, no? And I don't see the problem with the knot since you can untie it before you pull the rope through. I'd put a knot if I wasn't sure if the rope is long enough and a swing would lead to hitting something.
Swing across and get it when you are on the pitch above. If this isn't possible, then yes, it will be part of the wall. So leave something cheap! This is only really a consideration on a first ascent, because otherwise there will be something left by the last team which you can use to pendulum from.
These short videos are full chapters in the big wall books. Invaluable stuff, keep it up!
Amazed at the graphics and clarity in the demonstrations! Gold content right here.
Your videos are as clear as your ebooks, keep feeding us with good contents, you are great!
DANG, not just terrific content, but the video animation is a huge help for learning. Great work!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your content. The graphics are phenominal. Much appreciated.

Glad you like them!
So easy to understand with your animation!

This is gold. Amazingly clear and specific. Thanks a bundle
So well explained, thanks!

Thanks! I make the animations myself using Blender
This is quality content! well done guys
Great video. One point at 9:55 : No knot in the end of the rope? Especially in the scenario of not having enough rope for the first method.

Thank you for all you do! One of the most undervalued channels out there. Please like, sub and comment guys!
Damn, thats good content!!
Nice videos, thank you. What about caving technics with Croll and Pantin, is it ok in big wall Climbing ?
How do you get your pendulum-point gear back if you made it yourself? Seems in the first example it's now part of the wall.
