Anchoring efficiency with the backside of the clove hitch

Here is a way to use the backside of the clove hitch to clean and descend off a climbing route as well as to fix rope issues at a belay.

    DANG, Great video and a great technique that more people would benefit from using. What a clean transition this is, thanks for showing the whole process. Also, some very cool camera angles, nicely done. 👍

    I really like this technique. Any reason not to use the backside clove for the second if she were going to lead the next pitch? Seems like you could make a belay changeover even more efficient by not even wasting time with a PAS at the belay station. Just have a locker cloved to the backside ready to go for the follower, changeover gear, move your belay plate to your belay loop and off you go!

    You can do this! And I have done it some. It is about as fast as putting a clove in the load side so you can unclipped the device off the anchor and take it directly to your belay loop. But obviously you can pre-rig the clove on the backside like you are talking about!

    Hi buddy! I got a question! What happen when the second/client doesn't know how to make a friction knot if it is gonna be the first person to descent?

    I've done this a few times since you first posted it and it's become one of my favorite ways to transition from up to down. Do you have any videos or (efficient) methods to avoid needing a pass if there are multiple rappels required?

    On single rope rappels you can just stay tied into one of the ropes and use it as your tether. When you pull the rope you can feed it through the rings and then lower your partner on a redirected plate. This feeds the rope through the rings while they go down. Then you rappel the two strands. This is fairly efficient and only one person needs a tether.

    Anchor from backside clove hitch already removed at 2:44? Then magically reappearing at 3:03. Using same color cord for extended rappel is confusing here.

    Ah yes! That was just for clarity to show the extended rappel system. The other way seemed to busy.
