The Way Of The Belayer (featuring Ray Verseau aka The World’s Best Belayer)

[@tjcodes5549]

best marketing dollars spent in a while! 🔥

[@leodequivre4977]

[@MrBoubource]

And not only marketing but also more safety in the sport euros (petzl is french)

[@NovaVelvet-c5i]

agreed!

[@MrPetzle]

Finally, he is back!!! I love this "World's Best Belayer" character so much.

[@PetzlSportVideos]

We love Ray Verseau too !

[@ubbychubbs4238]

At 11:33 I was deeply saddened as I believed that he caused the climbers to fall. I have now come to the realisation that he knew when they would fall before they even got on the wall. Such incredible talent complimented by hard work and dedication. I am proud to walk on the same planet as this man

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Yes, you're right. He Knew. We are so happy to have him around to spread the art of belaying.

[@bradenparkes]

marketing team deserves a raise... FINE PETZL i will buy a Neox 😂😂 you got me.

[@crimpchimp]

I thought it was a pointless device but I tested it the other day and even if you‘re good at paying out slack with a grigri, with the neox it’s so much smoother. Possibly even better than with a tube while still requiring little strength in the brake hand to lock. So for what it’s designed for I think it performs great.

[@Yaploq]

Another great vid from Petzl ! Spreading the legend of Ray Verso 💖For those complaining about helmets you missed the point, t's more of a fiction than a safety video. Otherwise yes you could also blame answering phonecalls while bouldering, doing pull-ups with a shopping kart, letting your dog drive... I thought it was good hints but not for everyone apparently.

[@CharlesYum]

This was amazing 😂 I think a BTS if you have the footage would be awesome and I hope it's in consideration if there is footage for it!!

[@DickEspinoza]

Great vid!!!!! 😂 Megos two legs up

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Glad you liked it!! Yes Alex is built different !

[@ermangovi4861]

the teacher we need, but don't deserve. thanks petzl for this pearl

[@symonwelfringer5488]

Gosh, bringing back the true Petzl spirit in one single video get me psyched ! Congrats team 🫶🏻

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you, Symon. Let's spread the Art of Belaying ;)

[@MatildaSoderlund]

This is gold!

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thanks for your message Matilda !

[@albertosardi7010]

Best belay film ever! Funny, instructive, great editing, music, ..., actors! Congrats Petzl 👏🏼

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you Alberto !

[@NorthEastAlpineStart]

This was the best short video I have watched this year! My favorite line was when he called these pro climbers his little "stopper knots"... LOL... seriously this was really a clever way to demonstrate some quality belaying (loved the belay check seen when the climbers pulled hard to see the device would lock) but it was styled like a short light comedy. Bravo Petzl. Bravo.

[@erikmagura]

This was HILARIOUS

[@augustclimbing]

Clearly the best climbing film of the year 👍🏻👍🏻

[@martinsinger6434]

what a crazy production quality! also I was laughing so hard. Well done!

[@jjimena263]

Another classic!!! XD

[@PetzlSportVideos]

We are happy you loved it !

[@patrickperkins7011]

This is great! I love the implication of the pros needing to belay appropriately, since they're in the most spotlight, and sort of lead the way with what's trendy. I also love Alex Megos being in this after him trolling Ondra about belaying. ;P

[@yungrut6553]

Amazing character and delivering such an important message to regards of the product plugging.

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Someone in the Marketing Department deserves a raise!!!

[@PetzlSportVideos]

We'll pass the message along ;)

[@anthonyvirginie]

Superbe idée que de sensibiliser la communauté avec humour à la qualité de l'assurance qui se perd effectivement ! Manque tout de même un point d'importance : le port du casque en extérieur...

[@SummitSmile]

This is top notch

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you

[@singingwolf3929]

I'm going to be honest. I typically run the Gri-Gri 2 when I'm belaying. However, it has also been 12 years since I've been climbing outdoors, and probably, 6 years since I've touched a wall of any kind. My scariest moment was having a climber on an open book trad route. Not very tall, maybe 30m max. However, when he was about halfway up, I told him to anchor himself IMMEDIATELY, because there was a small rattlesnake investigating the rope no more than 0.2m from me. Whenever I would try to give slack, the snake would become defensive. My only thoughts were for my climber. I wanted to ensure that if something happened to me, THEY would be SAFE. If belaying is becoming a problem, then we need more videos like this to ensure the safety of the climbers. I was taught "Belay" first, and "Climbing" after.

[@dannym8015]

Best Petzl video for years!

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you Danny.

[@jennymchandler]

So good. I smiled/ giggled all the way through. Some great acting too ;)

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thanks so much!

Best marketing ever. I want to buy all Petzl products and I'm a Golf player

[@janondruska6775]

this is soo goood! well done and funny. thanks / offtopic - first time Petzl video without helmet on climbers (?) - and I love it!

I learned to belay with a brake assisted tube. Picked up the neox and I love it so much.

They should have invited Adam Ondra as well! He would need it definetly! Real oG's know the edit of the "hand free belaying" 😎

[@seb5]

Video about safety but only 1 with helmet. Nailed it.

[@openit125]

Yeah Sasha needed one in her home gym 😂

[@bobsthea]

somehow this public ad and neox ad lack one crucial thing, helmet for both climbers and belayers, no matter from wich corp these helmet is coming from. Do y'all know how much "no helmet wearing" incident (both fatal and badly injured) happen in our climbing world ?

[@jfcb555]

Love it!!

[@MrAnemoceta]

Sans un casque ! Bravo Petzl et ses pros

[@MrDestork]

Amazinggggggg

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Do you already have a favorite moment?

[@normenradvany5513]

Fantastic video. Very actually for me. I almost died because of Grigri plus two days ago. My belayer was beginner and pulled fully it after panic break and I was falling close to ground. Luckily he let the Grigri’s arm go after I was yelling during the falling. My opinion the Grigri plus is very dangerous for beginners.

[@hanneshuch8965]

Awesome!

[@stuckistick5566]

Super vidéo !

[@Jaa_360]

I don’t even sport climb, but this was awesome!

[@marissa.kswd22]

okay but if you are advertising for safety in climbing, why is no one wearing a helmet in the outdoor climbing clips?

[@prolayhazra9279]

🌿⚘️❤️ Thanks to PETZL for "The Way of The Belayer". fantastic movie 🎬. The relationship between the climber and the belayer, situational awareness, control, concentration are shown in this movie very well and well thought out.

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your feedback.

[@nielsflushh]

What a production! Super cool 🙂!

[@artesverticales7858]

After decades of making people used to paying slack in traditional Grigri way you need a great video to convince them to come back to traditional tube method once they have bought very simillar looking device :)

Full movie please ❤

[@bifty9]

Gloves but no helmet 🤦‍♂️ Such a long content but the important thing wrong. If the belayer is unconscious he is neither a belayer nor the „worlds best belayer“. Good topic but sadly missed the chance to increase the Safety on the Rocks (there a way to many belayers without helmet outside!)….
