These are the best climbing instruction videos on youtube - great info, really well shot, and you don't try to cram it all into 3 minutes or fill them with ads. Thank you.
When making the pancake stack try running the rope through a carabiner hanging from your harness rather than your other hand, its much faster! Great video!
Here is Roddy's reply: Yes, that's a good trick! I don't usually find it necessary--although we made the mistake of shooting this video with a brand new rope, making the stack a bit harder to manage :)
Thanks! Please see Roddy's reply: Half ropes are not so commonly used in the US, but this would make a great video... we'll add it to our 'to-do' list! It is possible to pancake stake with half ropes, just like when using a single rope. If you're careful about it, you can still flip the stack when the same person is leading consecutive pitches. Likewise, when making lap coils you can simply treat the two half ropes as though they are a single rope.
Great content, good advices. To me, full adjustability of length of the anchor when using the rope (as opposed to slings/cordalette) for anchor material really shines when switching leads. More efficient to build, to. The only times I use cordalette or slings for anchors is when we're not swinging leads.
Thanks, I love your channel, you are the best! I wonder about possible vertical pool up when the leader falls. So, the bilayer is pulled up for the length of the anchor towards the first quick draw. How does it affect placement of the anchor cams / extra cams? Nuts seems a bit sketchy in this respect. Thanks!
This guy was born to teach - excellent videos

Great video. Making lap coils with 2 ropes is more messy. Any suggestions?
Clearly explained and demonstrated. 👍
Excellent video all around thanks for the concise and helpful instructions.
Another great video. would you be able to do something similar but with half ropes as thats what we commonly use in the UK?
I'd love to see that as well! Just was looking into half ropes earlier today.

This is such great prep for my multipitch course. My instructors don't necessarily agree with everything, but it's a nice starting point at least

How many people were waiting to get on this climb while you were filming 😂
None! That would be disrespectful to them and stressful to us!
