I wanted to thank G3 for posting Mountaineering Tips with Julia Niles. I was looking for backcountry/ ropes videos for me and my daughter to watch and found this and the others with Julia, I wanted my daughter to see and hear from strong women on this subject as we still listen to other experts that are men. I wanted to personally thank Julia for this as well. As I watched the video I thought she sounded familiar, turns out I had hired her as a guide in the Tetons in 2009 through Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. Good to see her still doing what she loves and teaching. I hope you continue to showcase professionals like her that are great role-models for younger girls who have an interest in climbing, mountaineering and backcountry pursuits. Please say hello to Julia from the Detroit Firefighter she guided to ice-point all those years ago.

Hey Dan, So rad to hear from you! And I'm thrilled I can be a role-model for your daughter. Thank you for your service as a first responder in Detroit.

I liked the video. There is always something to learn, and I did 👍🏻👍🏻🏔🇳🇴

I like it! very clear

Sorry, but this really is a poor demo video and not up to the standards of G3's previously efforts. It looks like it was done on the fly with no thought to the end use or target audience. A better approach would be to talk through the basic stages of crevasse rescue and talk/demonstrate a key aspect of each stage.

Thanks for the feedback Alan. We're always looking for ways to improve the relevance of the G3 University video gallery. The #G3U videos are indeed each short teasers that we find relevant on a given day/trip/location and are meant to be short off the cuff demos from G3 athletes and partners to share with the community. This one however gets into more technical content so your feedback is fair and thanks for taking the time.

@@GenuineGuideGear how much rope are each carrying in their pack? to get a 6:1 or close, you might need to explain how much rope is needed?

I leave in Switzerland and have 35 years experience in mountaineering and rescue. This kind of videos are dangerous and make it look easy. I am familiar with these technics but just try in real life… call the local rescue first. Spend time on giving them an exact location not on trying to be a heroe.

Self rescue is generally preferred and someone hanging in a harness can be in real trouble from suspension trauma if hanging for too long. In fact, if waiting for a rescue, someone could actually die. That said, you're right this is not easy and one needs to learn rescue skills, preferably from a professional, and thoroughly practice them before hand. Videos like this can be a good place to start and to review, and obviously not a substitute for mastering these skills!

As a quick tip video this is pretty bad.

lock her up!

Its even wrong; its a 4:1 not 6:1 ...

don't agree with her math logic, but I think she is right saying it a 6:1. it a z-pluey (3:1) applyed to a loop haul (2:1) hence 6:1

@@Stiltz1291 thanks for posting how a 6:1 (/3:1) works, but I was confused because her explanation is wrong. ​@Luis Borges right. i was confused, cause she explains it wrong. seems she did learn it but did not understand it ;) Btw: if you have a microtraxion its easier to give that to the one hanging, you reduce the problem of dynamic ropes in rescue ;)
