nice. we crossed on the trail the other day when you were at the crag to find something you had forgotten the day before. I also sent this route, but someone was belaying me! hehehe

Why black and white?

Thank you!!! What backup are you using? Backup knots?

Awesome

I have only used the Micro Traction once to control my cache loop, I did worry a bit in a fall , the two devices would meet, it should feed ok but I wasn’t sure; you released the Silent Partner very efficiently, it can be tricky. Nice to see a real world example of LRS. Have extra likes 🙂

I still have my Soloist from the 90's, it is gold.

Yann, couldn't you use two simple Petzl Tangas, or the Kong Fast Rubber Carabiner Connector?

Most people use a grigri when hang dogging routes. It's very common actually among pros from what I've seen and read

Curious, why not a non cross loading locker where the gate is blocked like the DMM belay master or similar? Do they get caught up? Good video as I'd sort of written it off without ever using one but generally like edelrid gear

What do you think about two rope system of Shunt and grigri (with a knot) as backup?

Good job. Simply this device is not for dynamic rope ...

My partner and I met Yann at the base of Central Pillar of Frenzy in Yosemite a few weeks ago. Cool guy and great info!

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thank you!

What's the red device you're using to represent the climber here?

Great vid as usual. Thank for sharing your knowledge

great content. Like

Dmm I am pretty sure makes rubber stoppers that you put on the carabiner on both sides of the device to stop it from side loading.

I'm glad you've moved on from hanging on fire piping. That shit is scarier than rope soloing. Lol

Just use a rubber ring stopper and you can use any biner you want

Great video! Electrical tape will eventually ooze off and get all misaligned, especially if the 'biners are exposed to higher heat (like in a car). I'd suggest a few layers of heat shrink tubing to give you that thickness.

Thanks Yann! Profound content as always!

Soft shackle?

Killer video!

I'm probably too short (172cm), 60mm slings end up under my belly button I haven't tried making it shorter yet but it seems like only option number 4 or 5 might work

Can you please review the Edelrid Spoc?

Have you done any tests on the Saftey Tec Duck ?

Maybe it's rope's problem? It's 9,5mm, while Fuse and most (if not all) other safety devices are certified for ropes above 10mm, even above 11mm.

I have 1/2" inch stable braid polyester safety rope and I want a rope grab device to use on steep roofs to do roof work I want it to " lock" while I am doing work with both hands in a specific roof location. If I slip and otherwise would slide off the roof. would this device catch my fall and work for me ? I need to walk up and down the roof frequently to get to new places to work. Will the rescuender work if I get a proper harness ?

I have a simpler solution, not use the Revo. With this method you have a lot of dead weight (weight of the whole rope)

Updated: The adoption of girth hitches in creating master points has seen strong recommendations to incorporate the magic X half twist, thankfully. Other new tricks include use of modern fat, high test 22kN rings, and given how often a ring is carried anyway, as a backup in rappel situations, this can add some interesting pluses, like no gate, strong in every direction, smooth, no cricks to bind. A fat girth in one can still accept two carabiners as well. Climbing anchors will never experience more than one major directional load at a time. Max load can only come from a serious, factor 1.5 -2 fall. Toproping, rappelling, ordinary uses never come close to the limits of even poor knots and pro, BUT inadvertent shock loading of a system, from slack in a static personal anchor, or chains, even just a couple feet, can create very high peak forces our intuition simply doesn't foresee. All the experience, testing, and sharing by Yann and others adds to the general awareness and overall safety for all climbers, from the novice to the old diehards with half a century of hands-on learning, like myself. Thanks for the public service.

Yann,, would like to see your set up with the Petzl Mini Traxion 2023 for TRS!! Thanks 🙏

Жаль ты по русски не говоришь )

Petzl specifically states that the Shunt should never be used for top rope solo. They recommend many others of their ascenders instead.

Cool to see this thanks. One other thing that comes to mind is water getting in the silent partner freezing the locking mechanism. Cheers

Which type of carabiner do you recommend to use with the mini

You do know taht if you fall u dont fall at taht Speed you fall a lot fastet and wiht more weight Do it like it's made for wiht a humen atacht an fall

Please stay away from rope access gear and stop toy around on this community

Im having trouble getting my rope to feed through my nanotrax when I ascend, I have to stop periodically to feed it through. Any tips Yann?

Couldn't agree more, Yann. I don't see the allure of free soloing. If you're Alex, sure, but even people like him die eventually.

Merci moi j’ai toujours une corde, c’est toi qui me l’a montré et merci beaucoup 😅!

Bonjour, as-tu trouvé de qui ils parlaient? Merci .
