Albert Einstein has a famous quote: “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

That yellow nylon was the only thing between me and a 400 foot deck when a couple of pieces blew on a fall in Yosemite. It's oddly emotional to see it being tested.

[iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooo]

Loving the recent tweaks to how the stats are presented. The results graph as the test sets are happening is much easier to follow and compare.

As someone else said: girth hitch on a harness loop would definitely be a great test to see!

Love the channel. Not a rock a climber, but a cell tower climber as my job. It's pretty crazy how intertwined rock climbing and tower climbing is. Alot of videos you guys make are something I learn and can put to use everyday at work. I even got my companies safety director to start watching this channel and a month later later we all got new petzl carabiners a couple weeks after one of your carabiner comparison videos. Coincidence I think not.

This really is one of the most valuable channels on YT. Thanks for doin what you do!

Thanks for this. I feel like all I’ve been seeing on social media lately is people ranting about girth hitches being so much weaker… any knot on soft goods reduces strength sometimes up to half! Hopefully this ends that ridiculous narrative

[partybowl]

Ryan, you are hands down the most informative slacker I watch. Also the reason I got back into trekking and space netting. Please keep it

[YannCamusBlissClimbing]

OMG great video - great tests - great edit !! Lots of hours in there! Thanks for doing that for us!

[kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Dually noted. Dyneema is slick, and you're not supposed to tie knots in it. Nylon don't like sharp metal edges. Also, Ryan played in a tree.

This anchor layout is what I got taught in europe for trad anchors. I find it really cool. It generally does similar things like the BFK (including the ability to use more than two pieces), but it's easier to set up, easier to equalise it and *much* easier to untie (just slide the girth hitch out of the carabiner).

Geeze really leveling up now with the dope studio! Love all your stuff!

[pietropaologambelli]

Hi! Love those anchor, kind of popular in alps.
I usually use 5-6mm kevlar, it would be interesting to see also that!

[expierreiment]

Great work guys! That was indeed an expensive test. Nice tree drop tower at the end.

[TheUncleRuckus]

I hate heights and I've never been climbing or slack lining but I still fine all this super interesting! Great video as always Ryan. 👍👍

[iacamigevaerd]

At 4:30 I understand the red fibers are actually nylon, the dyneema being just the white part.

[guillaumemalezieux]

Hello, Thank you for this video, have you done the sliding test with a clove hitch? THANKS

[xpndblhero]

9:12 - This is the information I've been waiting for since I started watching this That's insane that a Dead Issac is = A Football Player. 😮🤯

[beardymike]

Another thing worth pointing out is that Dyneema after it's been used for a few years sees a quite dramatic reduction in strength - the UIAA conducted tests on skinny 8mm slings which had a 50% residual strength after only 3 years of use. Your bolt example would become super not good enough...

I really missed girth hitch on a harness loop.
