Alex, I just watched what you filmed. Wow, and wow, you really got some great footage. I have been to events like this, and it gets crazy busy, and then it starts raining, I had just finished when the rain started, and the next person got really wet. It almost seems not fair but, in the real world, you get wet, that's it. Thank you, Jim.

I’ve had the same happen to me when I did tree climbing comps. When it was my turn the tree was soaking and slippery and slowed me right down🤪💦

[@jf7393]

It sounds like you were a bit worried about doing a good enough job with filming so I'm compelled to tell you it came out great in my opinion. I think you did a great job showing what was going on. I really like the "electrified" catwalk what a cool drill. The skate blocks were very interesting for me as it shows the importance of having horizontal space to work with. I hadn't heard that 1/3rd rule also, so that was very informative. Thanks for running around and filming everything!

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Thank you and you are right haha. I was unsure about not being able to film and convey what was going on. I had no idea what to expect. Now I know for the next time😉😉. Thanks for reaching out and letting me know🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Hodgey10]

Very good job mate, love the channel as a whole too 🤘🏻

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Awesome 👏. That is great to hear🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tomgosy]

It's great to see fairly in depth coverage like this. Very interesting event

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Glad you liked it 👍🏼👍🏼😃

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

You say fairly in depth. What would you like to dive deeper into?

[@tomgosy]

@@TheRopeAccessChannel it would probably make the videos hours long, but a more detailed look at each team rigging up and carrying out each stage of the challenge. Obviously limited on what you're able to get footage of, but seeing longer clips of those things would be fascinating

[@soriformateur5550]

So good ! 🔥 Congrats you have made such a great explanation of these 2 days 👏 Now I'm waiting for days 2 and 3 😁

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Awesome Sori! Thanks man! Day 2 is still mid edit haha soooo much footage!

[@IsjanK]

well done filming what camera youve been using its really good!

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

This was a SOny A7 III with a 16-35 F2.8 lens.. I broke those and got the A7 IV and 16-35 F4 after taht

[@lucastamdon9281]

Hi mate! First thanks for all the edu vids. Q: How can I become a rescuer? Is there any specific path to become a recuer? Greetings

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Thanks 🙏🏻 To answer your question I’m going to have to say…. It depends.. Where you live, what kind of rescues. Every region has their own requirements. It would be easier to contact your local rescue organizations and ask them. Or do you want to do rescues like on the competitions? For those things I would say a personal rope access skill level comparable to IRATA L2 and a rope rescue/rigging level comparable to at least ITRA L3. I’m not saying do this, just get to that same level. But to become a real rescue, I don’t know v because there are so many variables.

[@HappyBear376]

Where was the invite for me and my lads?

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

You didn't get one?

[@sbay3iloft564]

Very Nice job, 13.45 thats exactly what i'm looking for: draw very clear of skate block By the way i'am who text you in Messenger Thanks

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Which one😃. I get a few messages…

[@tubosolinas]

I understand it's a competition but i suppose the purpose is to mimic real life scenarios So i doubt that in real life you'll have a person on a car that's stuck in 50 meters wearing already a harness.On the other hand it would be TOO REALISTIC to put a harness on a person 50 meters of the ground and then descend just for the competition.Nevertheless excellent filming with close ups 👌

[@TheRopeAccessChannel]

Thank you 🙏🏻. I do believe that in a post edition the teams had to resort to a rescue triangle once. But I think time and safety wise it is probably a good thing like this.
