Oh my…
Here’s my advice, after climbing for only 7 weeks:
1. harness should be tight enough to not slide off if you fall upside down. Thats all.
2. Shoes: Get someone that’s tight. They are not running-shoes, they are not supposed to feel comfy.
3. The gear-loops on your harness is for quickdraws, and for camming/protection devices when climbing trad. (and of course for slings, prusik, and so on..)
4. …not enough space for more writing… You get the idea.. =S
if your starting climbing PLEASE note, make sure you tighten your waist buckle(s) first…if you invert, thats whats going to hold you in…not your leg loops…
i like when he first demonstrated shows he put only the toe on a huge hold.
Maybe that is where I’m going wrong? I normally where my hiking boots up to the crag
haha, lol
or as he pronounces it: “Chaahck”
It has an “L”! Use it! lol
can you stop your fall whitout a belayer?
Oh christ I missed the end… “And this here is what we like to call… CHALK! but you can call it magic dust if you like”
“ooo pretty little gear loops, I’ve never been out of the gym so I think they’re for more Carabiners”
I applaud you.
no, i am racist and a troll, these are obvious things to the simplest of minds, yet you still miss them, publicly
Hum, so you’re a Bigot and a loser.
and you’re a nigger!
lol i think he ment quick draws (or “pro” when trad climbing” lol not cara beaners =D
someone climbs with this guy ???
o my god. please whatever you do don’t post any more instruct/info clips until………..well just dont ok.
top 5 quotes from this video.
5.one of the most essential gear you need is a harness.
4.this loop right here is what we call our belay rope…, loop.
3.the shoe is vey important. for instance, every type of shoe is ….
2.this shoe for instance is designed for more of an edge type climbing
1.not to tight, not to loose.
i agree and it also does not show any form of putting the webbing back through maybe people have to assume that as well
he also failed to mention that you should always use a locking carabiner to attach an atc to your harness, he was using an autolocking biner, and it shouldnt be up to us to realize that.
Maybe we are supposed to assume the rope part, since this is indoors and all climbing gyms have ropes.
This guys a moron!
You are not supposed to do your waist first it just makes it easier and it looked like the harness was already semi tightened so it didnt really matter. The approaching in climbing shoes was a little weird. I think another piece would be maybe…uh a ROPE!
You’re supposed to do your waist first anyways…
He wears his harness too low…it’s supposed to be at your iliac crest…frig makes me want to do a video on the proper way to wear a harness. Also he failed to mention that the waist needs to be fairly snug. Leg loops-make em comfy. Idiots.
4 sure!!! the was 1 of the dumbest vids ever! u would have to b like a pre school girl to not know everything he just said!!! haha
really you need a harness? and an atc?! holy shit!
