- So you all asked... how can it be done? Well here it is! Have you ever got yourself into a "situation", how did you get out of it. Would love to hear some interesting stories down in the comments.
Help step bro I´m stuck.
Can't wait to get stuck to try this out !!!
And now what if I’m rappelling on a single rope, barefoot, shirtless and I get stuck on the end knot?
Just switch your chalk bag strap out for a piece of cord so you always have an emergency prusik around your waist
@@samuelschaefer4226 Well of course but the point of “what if” scenarios is assuming you didn’t do that.
@@PetrFlosman I agree. And there’s value in having this extra tool in your box. But is there not also value in pointing out another, easier way to solve the problem just by doing a simple gear tweak in advance of getting stuck?
Not sure I like this, as the cord could get caught on something when you fall and really do some damage to your torso. At least with the normal chalk bag strap, it'd fail at the clip before it really hurt you.
@@DJFlyteUK with that logic you could hurt yourself with your harness waste band
lol that bizarre cat meowing at you at the start
I think on most routes the rope friction is to high. The 2:1 wouldn,t work because of that. In an overhanging Environment its a smart move, but in any case I would have some gear with me.
Thanks for the video. Very creative solution :)
Right on, yeah same here, was just answering some questions from the last episode in this one. 🤙🏻 have fun out there.
Glad you made me get my act together and subscribe, I was shocked I wasn't already subscribed because your videos are always on my recommend haha. Sometimes we need a good reminder
Enjoying these types of videos, handy stuff to go try out
Awesome videos man! I’m in a military mountaineering team and your videos maintain my teams knowledge and give us a good laugh with the fails. Keep it up man there’s no one else like you!
Thanks, really interesting, hopefully wont ever need that but good to know. Also - nice shed. I wanted one of those but wife complained it will take too much space...
Brilliant, and thanks for making me subscribe!
babygirl was loving watching daddy swing nice family Josh lucky guy old video but just re watching or watching old vids I missed
Can also use a blakes hitch in a full ddrt or mrs system thats used by arborists. Then when you get back to the top you can tie an alpine butterfly in one end and feed the working end through for a single leg of rope then rappel down just like SRT but with your rappel device. Only issue with that is retrieving your rope once you get to the bottom. I usually carry a chalk line box when I do tree work with line in it. I can tie it to my alpine and drop it to the ground when my rope isnt long enough to retrieve after
Keep em coming
Please make a video about what do I need to start climbing: recommended brands, single o double rope what is the difference, etc... I only have a figure 8 descender for instance don't even have a good rope XD. God bless U
🤙🏻
Okay, OKAY!
I clicked the subscribe button, shut up about it will ya!
Good content, thanks.
FINALLY!
Love your videos. Interested in why the alpine butterfly and wraps thing rather than a blakes hitch which doesn't spread out like the knot you used? Also why don't you put the foot loops lower on the rope, would be much easier on your joints!
I have young joints and I like to get higher lol 😂 sounds interesting. With my other black stiff rope I tried everything I knew, I set it up in a VT prussic style which seemed to work the best but ended up being more trouble than it was worth.
Yup, the Blake's hitch is the more efficient way to go. It's just not well-known to rock climbers, whereas the hitch used here is a modified version of a klemheist, a friction hitch that (at least some) climbers are familiar with.
@@skillzboard6330 yeah having that running rope to the foot was a nice touch. Then the other end tending the prussic worked great.
6:23 it is almost the same technique used to self ascend out of a crevasse
Super smooth dude. Really cool setup
Thank you, man! 👍
Very nice video man! Anyway you made me think again about the "stuck scenario" and again that this is a conditions and initial setup situation dependent. As for the Toni Kurz's legendary fatal accident on the Eiger you mention (and the known phrase "Ich kann nicht mehr"), although I've read about it I'm not yet sure where and how he exactly failed to pass that knot. If you could get some more info on this point of the story, you would (and should) make a video!
Good video. love your channel grate information every climber should know
Clove hitch through a second biner for progress capture maybe.
Never seen that before. That’s a pretty clever manoeuvre turning the rope into a Prussik. So now, in the next video, what a bout abseiling down only one rope, no shoes or extra gear and you’ve hit the knot?
On Unimpeachable gropping in red rock, my partner got stuck on the rap on power failure. He had himself girth hitched with two slings but when we passed the rope through the anchors to set up the rap, we accidentally passed the rope through one of this carabiners and it ultra locked his carabiner. So when he tried to get on rappel he could not get his carabiner undone. Luckily we had a butterknife with us(we used it as a nut tool because we dont have one) and were able to saw through his sling in about 20 seconds. Would be interesting to see if you had any other ideas how to get out of that situation if you didnt have a knife. My though was taking a aluminum carabiner and sharping it on the rock to cut through the sling.
What do you do if you're stuck hanging in the air but you don't have shoes, a belay device, clothes, or a rope?
That would be an interesting situation to find oneself in.. To be hanging in air without a rope.. 😁
I love this trail of videos, always wondered what's going to happen. After seeing this I'm wondering, with that amount of slack couldn't you tie the prussik with the tail end. And use the alpine butterfly below that as your foot loop? It would help stop the knot collapsing as much if you can't capture the progress.
I found 15 feet to be the best, that would give you enough wiggle room for more raps If needed. So that would be about 7 feet of upward progress because it’s a 2:1.
The arborists know how to tie a Blake's hitch with the tail of rope you made, and are laughing at how easy it is. All this Kind of stuff is so easy watching from an armchair but a whole other matter if you need in real life. Everyone watching should go practice this escape at least once!
Right on start low and slow.
I was climbing rat crack two weeks ago at east peack in caneticut was in the last chimney ten feet from the top my rope got stuck and I was 10 feet from my last piece of gear I told my partner to attach me to a tree and I was at a good rest point. He rain up with anther rope and lowerd a top rope for me that was 5.7 This Saturday I led a fun climb Modern eyes 5.9
I've seen you do this a few times, where you hook into the connection-loop betwean upper and lower harnes. That loop is really not to click into. Your supose to rope through both uper an lover part of the harnes. If lower part snaps, you still hang in the upper part. If the upper part snaps, you still hang on the lower part. There is a safety reason for that two-section harnes. If that loop snaps when connect ed like that, you're gone.
Are you saying hard clipping into lower and bottom and not the belay loop? The reason you should never do that is you can cross load the carabiner very easily
Fire!
Dear Sir/Madam 🤣
Damn, now I have Moss dialing emergency services on the brain 🤣
nice
Thanks for the shout-out to Skillzboard, Josh!
Wouldn't you rather wrap around both strands of the rappel line? Then you get to free up slack in both strands.
With the one line I’m still getting a 2:1 but with aid from my foot! 😉lol a lazy climber as an efficient one.
@@BetaClimbers Agreed. But this way, you will never release the second stopper knot from the belay device, right?
@@skillzboard6330 right, the prussic jumps to the opposite line. Then you would just work your way up to the anchors you past or started from, tying back ups as you go. If you where on a double rope long rappel then you would need to pass a knot but that another episode 😂 hopefully you wouldn’t be that Un-prepared In that scenario.
Climbing seems like underwater calculus to me. I can't even tie my shoelaces sometimes
can you try and figure something out for a single rope rap with a grigri? same scenario?
Every time you say subscribe and make those little comments I think your speaking to me then I realize I am subscribed. Fuck yeah
hey stepsis im stuck on the end of my rappel
And now add some rope/rock friction to the system and the first step gets way harder. Any solutions for that?
Yeah it would be really bad if the rope went over and edge and was twisted a few times out of sight. 🤮
dear josh, did you ever do treework? you probably can use a blake hitch, witch looks and works better than that buterfly thing.
Respect wildlife!
Bro. You didn't even climb out!
Also- cant you reverse your descender?.?
My question is... What if your on one strand?
Pull one side
Then maybe tie overhand figure 8 on a bight?
important life-saving information
MEOWR
dont lie josh! we all know youre a 5' Manlet!!
😂
Put the alpine butterfly way too high and get it as stuck as possible then try to get out
Let's go climb together. We can film it and make a collaboration project.
🤙🏻
@@BetaClimbers Denali West Rib or West Butt next May.
My partner and I are doing the cascade circuit in a few weeks
Shasta from Whitney Glacier
Hood south route
Adam’s south route
Baker Easton glacier
Rainier DC route car to car in a day
May 18-27 if you’re interested or in the area.
@@epycadventures that’s next year? Summer is when my work really picks up but I might have a chance on making somthing happen my birthday is in May so I could prob squeeze somthing in. 🤔 sound like a good time!
@@BetaClimbers Denali next year,
Cascade circuit in a few weeks. I’m hoping to get picked up by AAI after I take the alpine guide course, but our company is busy enough with the wilderness therapy.
@@epycadventures right on! keep in touch maybe we can send somthing. Right now my work is insanely busy. After all this that’s been going on I’m fending for an adventure 😂
What if you’re using a GriGri Josh?
But what if you only have a single rope?
If you can get enough tail you can try and do the same thing. If not then you better make your self a prussic out of your socks lol 😂
Now do it blindfolded
Damn it!
But what about the other side of the rope???
Out of all the adjectives that can be used to describe a rope, why supple? 😆😆😆
I have a special bond with my rope, don’t judge me 🤣
Lithe also applies well
why don't you just unbuckle your harness?
I’d have to bring my parachute for that
@@BetaClimbers you are 1 meter above the ground
@@geniusmarcsays2434 🤣 not in my imagination land...
WORST comes to worst, could you do the 2:1 until you have 6’ or so of rope, tie another knot, and then cut the end of your rope off? Boom, now you can make whatever you want and all it cost you was one of the worn ends of your rope that wasn’t long enough to begin with.
Xactly what i was thinking.- then you can make 2 prusiks with leg loops and run up that rope.
and the best thing you canb do is go now and find a tree or something to hang off and practice it then if it happens you'll know what toi do!!!
I have a question.
What if anyone stuck with one rope?
Please let us know what if any one descending with one rope and get stuck then what will he do?
I will waiting for your valuable reply ❤️👍🏼
Love from india
Are you still hangin on there? 😅
Id say- first: always tie end knots like 2 meter above the end of the line? Then at least you can make one prusic above, haul yourself up a tad, get some more rope, re-tie end knots, until you have enough to make leg loop.
I would like to see you use a shirt as a prussik please
Probably second...
Edit:
I'm First!
congratulations
Can’t spin up like Riddick when they winched him down ? Jk
Why does this guy pronounce prusik wrong consistently. Did nobody tell him to look it up or did he take that auto-generated 'how to pronounce' youtube video too seriously haha
Lol tomáto, tomâto kid, you should see how I pronounce aluminum...
@@BetaClimbers fair enough, didn't realize there was an American pronunciation of an Austrian name haha. digging the vids cheers dude
And what if you are stuck without rope without belay without anything, Alkaida is shoting on you and you forget your vegies on pan at home and they will burn and you phone have last percent of battery so you cant watch whole new kardasian video???....then what???
your daughter think she's a cat.. should i really be taking advice from you?
Listen here Superman icon guy! That’s because I’m Batman so she must think she is Catwoman DUH!
