It would be nice to see a fall. Just see how the system works.

I like the directional anchor at the bottom. However, could you not also clove hitch the first draw as well? Or would a factor 2 fall be more dangerous than falling on that anchor? Thanks for the interesting video.

Attention! This could be very dangerous because: it is very easy to clip the wrong end of the rope; the revo has no reverse break so the rope can fully flip back and you have much to much slack!

Looks fun, I’ve never done any lead rope soloing but have done a fair bit of trad climbing. Don’t want to criticise but why would you not thread both rings at the top? Also using the overhand knot to tie the ropes maybe consider leaving a longer tail on the knot in case it slips, plus maybe use a prussic for the absail. These are things I’d do, but it’s up to you obviously. You do what you want, climbing is inherently risky and it’s part of the reason that it’s fun but I like to minimise danger when possible so I can keep doing it! :)

Nice efficiency on the rapel, bit longer tail ;) don't you need a cache loop with the revo? Sems to feed smoth

That was cool!. How did you record yourself? I'm curious.

why you are not using a figure eight knot for the ancor point? what is the advantage of using the knot you are doing in this video on the
rope?
