Thank you.

Nice, Super efficient for guiding especially

many ways to skin the cat on this stuff, appreciate you sharing your techniques that are "out-of-the-box" to recreational climbers. as a sidenote: I always have found these techniques speed me up... only to lose that time saved by trying to untangle my coiled rope on the ground lol

For sure! And yes, I have found myself many a time loosing my mind untangling rope!

Another great video from Karsten Delap. Thank you for taking the time to make these informative clips.

Pre-rigging - so speedy!!

The only problem I've had with these techniques is convincing my climbing partners that these are actually more efficient than simul-rapping or going one at a time!

It is much quicker! And waaaay more safe than simul-rappelling. I always tell people that simul-rappelling (if done the speedy way) is two chances to kill two people and only fast if you remove the safety aspects. If you keep the safety aspects it is way slower. So I tell my climbing partners that I’ll simul-rappel if I get the knotted side. This way if they screw up I don’t die, but if I screw up we both die. Usually at this point they just give in and pre-rig!

How would you save your self and your partner if they became unable to climb/unconscious on top rope? Wouldn't your repel and rope be weighted from the climber below? The only solution I could see if transferring their weight to the anchors above your belay device, perhaps with a prusik cord.

There is actually a way, I did a post on it on it here: instagram.com/reel/CVwNzpHjFol/?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc= . And you are not trapped. You can unlock your carabiner and take your sling out.

@@howtoclimb Thanks for taking the time to respond with answers to my questions. I have to say, you are my favourite content creator. If you travel around and ever come to Texas, I'd love to hire you for more advanced techniques and systems!

Thanks for the video. Any reason we can't tie a BHK closer to the chains for a higher master point to belay from(keep my grumpy elbows happy)?

You can! But you will need a longer tether for the rappel extension to be comfortable in the stance.

The "J" anchor would be a lot more comfortable for the guide because you can have a high point.

The J rig could be a great solution!
