    Dude went from breaking a couple carabiners to best store in the US while still breaking those carabiners, and ropes, and slings, and blocking devices..... what a ride

    A nice video for the kids to explain to them the nature of the friction coefficient.
    It drops with temperature, lots, enough to count sometimes.

  • @MrAfricaturtle
    @MrAfricaturtle หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    In the context of climbing, I believe this system would be a safe releasable rappel system at the end of a TRS ? Do the rapid 8 knot with some tail and a stopper knot at the dead end side of the rope, attach a cord to the carabiner (otherwise can't retrieve it once you're down!), rappel down, pull on the cord and there you go? How would it compare to a biner block ? I think I can trust that better than say a beal escaper...

    Yes! I love CE4Y ropes, but I hate that all the names rhyme, it gets very confusing. Thanks for carrying it now and showing the tests on it.
    I like that Brent is testing his Rapid Eight block. I prefer the Euro Eight Block and love it as the three daisy chain loops add better security while still being quick release. It's taking a while to fully catch on but I expect it will be the standard eight block in swift water canyoning in no time.

    it would be interesting to put a friction device and load cell on the tail to see what ratio of pull on the tail to load on the rope stops the slip.

  • @buckskin88

  • @Zogg1281
    @Zogg1281 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I was shown the last one you tested, as a veriable friction belay abseil device, with a traditional round figure 8, but you'd clip into your harness with the carabina (which means the direction of pull should be the top of the crag/wall....... if it isn't, turn gravity back on QWICK!!!). So the idea is that you lift the small eye (or "handle") up, towards your top anchour and you have maximum friction, you pull that handle (small eye) down to reduce friction. Just remember that pushing your "handle" up, for max friction, doesn't mean that you can let go of 😅. If you do want to let go, push the handle up, then tie it off properly because you only want to die once at a very old age surrounded by your family!!!

    • @dragoscoco2173
      @dragoscoco2173 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Big takeaway is: Never rappel at old age with all your family tied to you.

  • @cmonkey525
    @cmonkey525 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the characteristics of those canyon ropes. I’m assuming they’re “dry” ropes. But testing where they slip when the whole system is wet would be the test test, considering the conditions it’ll be used in

  • @sam9415
    @sam9415 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Not a climber, but would that carabiner need to be removed under load? And would that be difficult and at risk of damaging the rope (by rubbing the rope against the sharp edges of the carabiner gate)?

  • @Satoriclimbing
    @Satoriclimbing หลายเดือนก่อน

    If the figure 8 doesn’t make sold contact with the ring, the figure 8 block fails catastrophically. This is very likely the cause of a recent fatality in Moab. It’s been known to result in fatality before as well. If the ring is not free hanging, the figure 8 may not make flush solid contact with the ring.

    Have you ever tested what I'm going to call a "factor 4 fall"?
    i.e. a factor 2 fall when tied into two systems that have been carefully set up so that they are both the same length?
    I guess its just like having a thicker/more static rope?

  • @obalasmora4192

  • @kadmow
    @kadmow 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Parachute triple rings are about "the" ultimate in releasable systems. I have made a rope version using cascading sizes of rope spliced into each other, not saying the rope version is the ultimate, but it can withstand some reasonable forces without getting jammed..
    AIRCRAFT seatbelts, take the cake for jam resistance - but not stability and redundancy.
    For friction load limiter - a person doesn't have 2kN of weight force.. (inexperienced people on a rappel, need tailtending, or another belay - safety person, not device.
    NB, SMALLER line, more wraps??...

    Qualify this by noting that I haven’t climbed a day in my life and if there’s a reason for it, I don’t know it, but it feels like having all of the CE4Y ropes named with rhyming words could maybe be a bad call?

    • @chazchaz101
      @chazchaz101 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Grigris are only rated to 8.9 mm, and canyoneering often uses smaller rope than that. Additionally, the impacts of getting pulled down a waterfall/rock face would likely lead significant damage since they're much more fragile than a sold aluminum 8.

  • @obscurelines
    @obscurelines 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The issue with rappelling on a single strand while blocking is that if you are pulling the rope down through any kind of crevice it can get stuck.
