Grigri rappel

POV grigri rappel set up and descend.

4:36 you say always hold the brake and then immediately let go of the brake(?)

for the love of all things bomber i hope no one is learning anything from this video 😳😳

The biggest concern is this. When cleaning the draws and transferring the rope through the anchors, the untie the rope from your harness before the rope is through the rings. Leaving you with no redundancy for a moment. There’s no excuse for that. Lack of gear isn’t an excuse. Red flags my man. Sorry but you’re putting out bad information.

A couple of tips to make it easier & safer. 1. Communicate everything with your belayer before you leave the ground. 2. The belayer can tie a knot in the rope before you pull it up. That way when you get the knot you know 100% that the other end of the knot will have reached the ground.

i had multiple cues that this method was messed up from the very beginning, and I found multiple proof of it as I watched....

A belay device is generally extended to keep a 3rd-hand (typically a prusik on the brake strand) from contacting the belay device and not engaging if needed. A 3rd-hand is not really needed and not used here since the Grigri is brake-assisted, so what's the purpose of extending the Grigri with the dog-bone?

please don't teach people such things. it's unmethodical...after all, you don't want someone to kill themselves on the basis of this video because of you. there are instructors for learning

[africansinclair]

what purpose did the quickdraw serve, linking the two rings?

[jonbarrett]

Was that overhand for safety only connected to you and the ground?

[traslin]

Interesting. Why is this better than just tying in and lowering yourself with the GriGri? Also, seems like you could put a prussik near your brake hand to make it a little safer since GriGris aren't guaranteed to catch.

good video if you're looking for what NOT to do... seriously you shoudn't share this kind of mistakes

[albertvonmode]

nah bro, you dont want that carabiner in free fall with your rope..

[Aidandenniston]

Sir you are not meant to be giving climbing instruction when you’re clearly very new to all of this. You are not nearly proficient enough to be putting instructional content out there

[fredleber]

A decent alternative instead of relying on the knot being bulky enough to not go through the rappel ring, your belayer can just lock off the other strand of the rope and you can still rappel off the other line

[Saltedwargoat]

I was looking your orange carabiner, working in a very bad way 😱. So much mistakes in this video, definitely not a good example !!!

[trevorofwhatever]

😢 yo bro, you need to watch more videos for a while before you start making them. This wasn't chill

[tomp]

I very rarely leave comments but, like many other people have said, am very concerned by many of the practices in your videos. I really feel you are getting away with things and you are in danger of your luck running out. You would do well to spend some time with much more experience climbers and absorb better techniques more slowly. Look up the Dunning Krueger effect… you are at the first peak…. I.e a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I find people rarely criticise climbing techniques on YouTube…. If everyone is doing that it may be for a reason.

Why in the world rappelling on just one rope, just for the fun of it, when i got two strings, wich increases the withstand and makes it lots safer? And which is the common and educated method! Exactly therefore you have rappelling devices that can take two strings. The gri gri is so wobbly and your handling always concerns me. Just watched your rappelling video where u burnt your hand. Holy moly. Also the crossloaded carabiners here .... man. Why do you keep these videos up if u have so many people asking u to better take them down. I don't understand it... Regards and all the best to you!

[mateuszgorski]

As other people already commented, it would be really bad if other people learn from this video. It's irresponsible to put thing like this in YT.

My tip after 50 years it's not the intended application, preparation and planning prevents piss poor performance
