The biggest mistake is to think that you have finished learning. In climbing there are those who are still learning and ... then the dangerous ones.

I can't agree more with the statement 'my life is in their hands'. Belaying is a responsibility to be taken seriously. Thanks for the video and the reminder

Love your alpine videos mate

Just bend your knees, and wait for the rope to stretch and pull you, then start to jump, or at least go up as it pulls you. I cant believe how many people cant grasp this concept. Most people talk about having more slack out for a soft catch, but this has nothing to do with it. Like Sharma said, you can have slack out and still give a super static catch, which is ultimately the worst.

Chris doesn’t look the same anymore! The short hair and beard look so different! Good look though

Is it just me or does it sound like english is his second language now? 😂 thanks for the video sharma your the man!!

He's definitely speaking with a weird tone and cadence, I wonder if the person behind the camera isn't a native english speaker and he's trying to help.

Smokin' that dank....Sharma is a legend

This feels so candid.

The movie was shot in Germanys climbing area "Fränkische Schweiz". The climbing route was right next to the famous "Action directe" from Wolfgang Güllich.

Love the candid approach to this video. Chris is a legend. Make this a series plz!

I mean for belaying I could see it. Getting conked in the head by a flake that your climber pulled isn't ideal.

Good video. It might be worthwhile to produce more videos on other aspects of belaying like communication. Looks like Le Nevé is climbing Slimline 8a+ in the Frankenjura. So strong...

Yeah that’s all nice but what if the belayer is not a big man but a light woman - where the difference is not great enough to use a om or something. I do always fall up and the climber falls maybe a bit longer. For some this is an issue, they do not like to fall that long. Do I have to get the moment and then resist instead of jump a little?

ideally you're closer in weight, otherwise if it's indoors have a sandbag to cover the difference if it's outdoors a device like the edelrid ohm is suggested to add some friction and compensate for the difference in weight.

One of the best advice: forget people around you when belaying, no need to talk to them, if you do you will probably turn your head to look at them and forget about your real job for few seconds, focus only on the climber

good!

1:40 the subtitles should say:”the first few bolts “, but you can read:”the first few vaults”! Just a minor observation! Nice video!

Thank you. It's corrected ;)

Good video, but think it’s an obvious advanced skill? I tried once with my teen daughter (when she was on an ABS climbing team now a college student), after a training session from a trainer, and I jumped too early. My daughter freaked out and she did a major swing into the wall. Fortunately, she was fine. It’s a learned skill and don’t do enough sport climbing to practice. Like it, but have to practice. Chris looks great-both as climber & dad. 🤘

Jon Krause If the climber is very light (ie female teen) you can also soften the fall with holding on to some slack and releasing it while the rope comes into tension. And yeah, it takes practice. So it's your job to choose the right setting for safe practice.

Psssat!

Falling is aid

I'm honestly really surprised Petzl OK'd this video. Chris is one of the best climbers in the world, but frankly his commentary was quite jumbled and didn't add much to the conversation of fall catching techniques. There are much better resources out there already for "how to catch a fall". Petzl is one of the leaders in climbing safety and has a huge reach so it's odd that they wasted an opportunity to have Chris Sharma do a more thorough explanation and take time to make a well thought out and educational video that doesn't cover the simply the absolute basics.
