Love these videos, thanks so much! Excited to try out some of these techniques on the slopes! Would be great to see some more videos on the common knots/rope ties used in different situations and also more on understanding the slope/checks you should make before hitting the backcountry! Would love to ski with you next time I’m in Cham 💪💪💪

This is great thanks… would like to see a belay option for a more maritime snowpack. You did hint at an option used in Scotland w an ice axe.

Great video! Hadn’t seen the method of using a sling round the back. I’ve been clipping into belay loop then directing the rad line over my shoulder with a non-locker on the backpack strap. Think I prefer your method since I’ll often want a PAS and rappel extension anyway.

Yes it works well with a PAS like the connect adjust for example.

Great eye eye ;), The (looped) PAS has a little more friction when the carabiner slide around FYI.

Super useful thank you. For the sling around the waist trick, could you use that in a situation where you are skiing down a glacier whilst being roped up for the front skier? Not many videos about skiing down simultaneously whilst roped up.

First of all congrats on your awesome content. I'm a newbie and wanted to ask you about the use of the petzl reverso with the rad rope, as my understanding was that the reverso only admitted ropes of 8.5mm diameter and larger. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for this! Going to try this out this weekend. In the third method, would it also be possible to use the carabiner on the end of the sling as a redirect and belay using the Reverso on your harness? Thanks again!

hahaha, You might need to get some ski extensions for them. Worth a try though. Perhaps not on anything consequential.

Hey Dave, thoughts on girth hitching the sling directly to the belay loops instead of bowline for option 3? We do this normally and have not had issues, but curious if you had ever had any concern
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
Nope that’s a fine way to do it but then to make a rappel extension you would need to knot the sling with an overhand and I find that is very difficult to undo after it’s loaded.

How come you clip the carabiners and belay device to your backpack and not the gear loop on your backpack’s waistbelt?

Hello, Dave! Thanks for the video! What do you think about some protection between sling around the edges ( over mittens, extra gloves). Can the sling be injured by sharp skiedges, if a client ski down with a traverse and direction has been changed?
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
No harm in doing that but I think as long as you manage the situation there is rarely much chance to damage a sling. I’ve certainly never managed to create any visible damage to a sling doing either of these methods.

Thank you for the Video, Dave! One Question I always have with these Techniques, is what do you do with the second Person standing on top belaying? Especially if you have a Ski anker for Instance, I don't see you leaving behind your precious gear
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
This technique is for assessing the slope conditions before you ski or for giving a novice a chance to ski with security. If you both need the rope to get down then you would abseil and in that case you would leave something behind. In the past I’ve left behind a block of wood as an anchor for example.

If you are in a steep gulley with a rock band halfway down, and there's no obvious rock anchor, would you still use the skis as your anchor?
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 28 күн бұрын
Am i going up or down? Can I downclimb? How much time pressure am I under? So many variables. If I had to rappel over a cliff I would leave a deadman anchor somehow.

great video! two questions: 1. drawback you forgot to mention on anchor 1 is the taught rope running close to your ski edges, no? I have cut a RAD line by mistake when belaying a friend backward with skis on. 2. re. attaching the rope to the back of the skier. how about tying in the rope to the shoulder straps of an avalanche backpack? they have a leg loop that should hold the pack down. feels like a very quick way to do it? or are there draw backs to this I'm not aware Of?
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
Was the rope under tension? Not sure I would be suggesting the abs bag method to be honest..
@hakanmaclean9203
@hakanmaclean9203 9 ай бұрын
@@DaveSearle 1. Yes. My friend was being lowered backwards and as he came over a windlip he slipped and cut the rope with his skis. 2. Why not? Im thinking the bags are designed to be sturdy enough to “pull you up” in an avalanche? And as you said. we are not talking about a vertical wall here.
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
@hakanmaclean9203 in lowering the rope is under tension. The first method is a give a quick bit of security and hopefully the rope will never be under tension but as you’ve found out it has its limitations. You can do what you like of course but I’m not going to recommend people use a piece of gear in a way it’s not been designed and tested for.

Personally i like to always use an ATC or fig8 for belay. Not really fond of body belay.
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle Күн бұрын
Body belays are fast, require no equipment or a harness and can totally serve the purses of belaying someone onto a steep slope to check out the avalanche conditions.

Is there a chance to get the rope cut by the skis edge while skier move from side to side in first method?
@DaveSearle
@DaveSearle 9 ай бұрын
As the rope is moving away from the edges not towards I feel it is extremely unlikely. Also you can manage where the rope is with your hand. Remember this is just protecting the small chance of a fall or a slide. The first technique is fast and easy but as I mentioned in the video the final one is the best option in my experience.
