Ascending a rope for climbing coaching or photography

[@JoaoMFaria]

just got into climbing recently and i'm pretty novice at it, but, i always aspired to be taking really scenic shots as i'm a professional photographer. This video has gave me great insight of what setup and techniques i should use when i get more comfortable around ropes and rock walls! ;) Thanks!!

[@JBMountainSkills]

Nice one, glad it was useful 👊

What an awesome video! There definitley isn't enough of this stuff out there and for soemone like myself who is getting into to climbing photography, it is a perfect video for that. Great work mate, I just found your channel and will be watching more for sure!

[@JBMountainSkills]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lukethornton1942]

Great Videos. Can you do some ones about multi pitch change overs if you have time. You have some great videos

[@JBMountainSkills]

Will see what I can do.... Plenty of time!

@@JBMountainSkills you could use the doggo as your belay buddy!

[@JBMountainSkills]

@@PhillSparks anything could happen when he's involved!

JB Mountain Skills just like a real client!

Hi Jez Great vid! As an aspiring MCI I like all the up to date bits and bobs about these skills and kit used. Is there any chance you could zoom in slightly in your videos though? some of the smaller details are hard to see in a wide angle. cheers 🤙

[@JBMountainSkills]

Cheers! Yes I'm definitely trying to improve them as I go... all a bit of a learning curve for me!

Hi Jez, I found your channel a few days ago and am loving it. Already watched hours worth of material! I am having trouble picturing the idea of re-belaying once you’re over the edge of the crag. How would you tie the rope when it’s under load? Thanks.

[@JBMountainSkills]

Glad you're enjoying it! You cant. You need to unweight the rope either by being on a ledge or clipping in to your re-belay gear, normally with a lanyard :)

[@darrenshare3673]

JB Mountain Skills OK thanks. Pretty obvious really. I thought you’d found a way to break the laws of physics.

That's a really good shout on the Petzl Rig Jez. I've been using a good ole Grigri to go up and down. I'll try the re-belay too. Keep up the great vids.

[@JBMountainSkills]

Glad it was useful!

[@georgeraine8448]

What are your thoughts on using just a Grigri to self-belay while climbing? Even with regular overhands as a back up, is this safe?

[@JBMountainSkills]

It is something I do occasionally, in the right circumstance, just remember though, it is outside the manufacturers guidelines, so it's not something I recommend.
