My thinking is that in normal climbing conditions, I trust the Revo as a single point of potential failure. Of course rope soloing differs from normal climbing conditions, and I would recommend using backups. I made the decision not to because most routes I rope soloed were below the grade I was normally climbing that season. In general, I 100% trust the Revo for belaying, and took calculated risks by not backing it up while rope soloing.

It's a Wild Country Revo, a really cool device 👍👍👍www.wildcountry.com/en-us/revo-belay-device-40-revo_00000?number=40-REVO_0000000002

Salut ami! merci d'avoir regardé les vidéos ! sur la deuxième longueur, j'ai grimpé normalement, puis je suis descendu en rappel jusqu'à l'ancre montrée ici. J'ai ensuite détaché l'ancre et l'ai installée pour un autre rappel au sol. restez en sécurité et amusez-vous l'ami!

It's a type of belay device made by Wild Country 👍👍👍

I hadn't planned on whipping when I started the route lol. Be safe and have fun!!! 🤘👍🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️

I have taken a rope solo fall on the revo. It's a rush because it takes a bit longer to catch than a grigri. It's otherwise comparable to a grigri except the rope moves more smoothly through the revo than the grigri, leaving you to enjoy the climbing more and focus less on managing slack 👍👍👍

Gracias compa! I'm a definite fan of the WC 👍👍👍 Very cool that you are learning/have learned Spanish! I'm starting that process myself 👍👍

Gracias por decir y buena suerte en tu camino!

Thanks for asking friend, I use only the revo, not modified, but I only do climbs that I have done before, or that I think are within my abilities. I use a clove hitch on a steel carabiner to back up the revo if I don't feel very comfortable about the route.. For anchors I use trees preferably, or exposed big roots, or a downed log, if it is heavier than me by quite a bit. 👍👍👍

@@comrade514 thank you. for the reply, much appreciated!. i had some doubts about the revo, and i contacted Wild Country about them. after seeing your clips, and after the talk with them i am much confident in this device

Thanks much friend!

Thanks dude! Climb on!👍👍👍🤘

I definitely tried to not touch it, although I think I did a bit. Agreed, best not to touch the device when feeling 👍👍👍

Thank you friend, will do 👍👍👍🧗

Ahahaha, right on man 👍👍👍 thanks for watching!!!

I'll add a description in the details. I was about 7 feet above the last clip when I came off. Probably fell about 14 feet before the Revo caught me. I definitely like the Revo for lead rope soloing, highly recommend 👍👍👍 Cool climbing videos you have, too. Your system seems very smooth. 👍

Thanks man! Nope that's a regular unmodded Revo. 👍👍👍

Thanks friend, that goblin cam you test looks cool 👍👍👍🤟

@@comrade514 It's really nice. Only downside is you need other devices to lower. But for the climbing and catching, it's the best! Actually, how do you lower with the Revo? There's no handle on it. I'm confused about that aspect.

@@Mdjagg it's kind of like a real touchy ATC is how I would describe it. I love the Revo for rope solo, but would use something else for regular belaying.

looks pretty normal to me

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmfUeKGiZpt3m80 Yes sir, here's a fall on this system. I'd been climbing rope solo for about ten hours and my forearms had started cramping. Eventually they both cramped at the same time and I came off the rock. I did use backup devices and/or knots at first. Definitely would recommend it. I went to this bare bones system after thinking, even when someone is belaying you, the belay device is not backed up. If I were deep in the woods, or felt sketched out, I would use backups for sure. 👍👍👍

Thank you for watching, friend. Hope you enjoy LRS with the revo. It's good fun 👍👍👍

I started off with a Grigri, and maybe that's just a habit that stayed with me. Or, if I remember correctly, the weight of the slack rope combined with the rope running over my hand was giving me rope burns unless I moved very slowly and deliberately.

Above about 60 feet, the slack rope will start to run backwards through the device. At those heights I put a knot above a quick draw. The setup seems to work great. Thank you for watching
