So, you now you won't die from rope soloing directly but surely something is gonna bite you for this is Australia, ey?

Back pack vs just leaving rope on ground? Using micro traction to keep tension off Grigri for dead rope side .

@starasoris 3 ай бұрын

If you have a clean vertical cliff, hanging the rope works well. On climbs that wander and can get loops caught, or if there is a lot of wind, then I think there is an advantage to back packs. Getting a rope snag really sucks if you are on your own in alpine conditions. Using the micro trax and hanging the rope is great for short fixing on big wall climbs too. If I do it now, I also don't put the grigri upside down. I just have a smaller cache loop. Depends on the rope.

I went in with my right shoulder, and my last piece was way below yours, I was freaking out about not having any gear and falling inside the chimney, once I reached the top of it I had to flip over to come out of the chimney, had to do some Houdini move, reaching above my head into the hole where you place that last cam, the hugging the rock as hard as I could before trying to go out of the chimney stepping into the unknown since I had no idea what was around the corner. Absolute sandbag.

so how do you get your rope back when you are done for the day? did you leave enough rope at the top to repel all the way down and then pull thru a beaner left up top?? you basically left the finally clean up out of the vid

Why do you carry the rope with you and not leave it at the base of the climb? You can lead rope solo with the rope at the bottom of the climb. Is there any particular reason why you decide to carry it with you? It seems extra weight, although it gives you a little more control of it.

Thanks for the explanation. I like the simplicity of the system, without requiring a silent partner. However, why use slipknots on your draws instead of clove hitches? I just don't get it. Need 2 hands for the slipknots, and they pop. You only need 1 hand for a clove, and they stay in place, giving the system more security.

@starasoris 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Miguel, the slip knots are designed to pop so as to spread the load over the full length of rope if you fall. If you tie clove hitches to hold the rope in place, you risk a factor 2 fall when climbing above it until you clip the next draw. That would be a bad situation. Also, slip knots can be tied with 1 hand fairly easily. If you want to tie a clove hitch at points where you know you are not going to fall right above, that can be useful, especially if your rope was running over sharp edges etc.

Great Vid , sorry you got a bunch of snowflakes in your comments, and darn ignorance and disrespect from a lot, a good few methods out tried and tested some tweaks make them safer and some not so , dependent upon many factors, nice to see another example perspective on rope soling and with a few points of use and other options that can be used or not, what was your backing track music , reminded me of a track used on one of the dosage videos back in the day during Sharmas climbing parades

Ya que en le video no me quedo claro. GRACIAS (Great ... I've always seen the modification in grigri 1 but never in 2 !!! .. GREAT !!! ... what has not been clear to me is the modification you have made.

@starasoris 4 жыл бұрын

Luis. The only mod I did was to make a way to hang it upside down. I think I briefly mentioned the options in the start of the video. 1) glue a loop of cord to the black plastic close to the axel end. or 2) put a thin loop of fishing line or strong thread around the axel. Make sure it doesn't interfere with it opening. I did the first option but drilled a small hole in the black plastic (careful not to interfere with anything) and glued the cord into the hole for extra strength. I can't recommend doing this but it has worked well for me and you can make your own decisions. Good luck.

@chinazaaoko4555 4 жыл бұрын

Anyone think about clipping a Kong Kisa to the first bolt to provide a softer catch and limit shock loading the anchor? The downside being you have more rope in the system which could lead to a ground fall if there'e too much slack.
