Cleaning a Bolt Anchor - Being Lowered
rockclimb.video
----------
Although "Rock Climb" will have more than 100 videos (7 hours+ of content), the program is designed to include maximum information in a concise way that is easy to understand and assimilate. For that reason most chapters are built on the knowledge acquired in previous ones (e.g., Rope Basics → Top-Roping → Lead Climbing → Sport Climbing → Trad. Climbing).
----------
Rock climbing is fun but there is an element of risk. In some situations if you are not careful, the chances of serious injury or death are very real. A safety oriented mindset is essential.
The right attitude includes not thinking that just by watching videos and reading articles you will become a safe and experienced climber. Experience comes with practice. Practice means making occasional mistakes and learning from them.
We believe qualified in-person training should be the main way of learning and progressing in rock climbing. A good mentor, guide or teacher will make learning as safe as it can be, by assessing your level and every situation.
Our videos are meant to inform and entertain. Although our videos can be very helpful, they are not meant to replace in-person teaching by a qualified professional, nor they are meant to replace reading and understanding the instructions and manuals of rock climbing equipment-which we strongly advise you to do. (Manufacturers recommendations occasionally change, and it is a good idea to stay updated by visiting their websites.)
Have fun and be safe out there!

This is the most valuable climbing channel on RU-vid. I’ve scoured your site with it’s 100+ videos. Well executed, well organized, and thorough. Thank you for the generosity, team!

Great and clear video again! Another way would be to shift the chronology just a bit. Tie yourself in ( pes or whatnot) to the bolts ( keep rings / chains free) thread a bight of the rope thru both separate hanging rings or chains and make a double eight on a bight to attach it with a locker biner to your belay loop. Then take out the first tie in knot and thread it loose thru the rings. Check new system! Last is to clean as necessary . Pros: never out of the belay system, Cons: The rings or chains sometimes are tight to thread a double rope. Greetings from climb on ! Curacao

Nice! Thanks for posting!

Yeah I was going to suggest the same thing and there's a couple of ways of doing it which keep you in the rope system at all times. Which one you use depends on the type of anchors you're threading - essentially whether it's big enough to take a rope bight or not. The BMC in the UK did a decent video and article which show them both. www.thebmc.co.uk/how-to-lower-off-from-a-sport-climb I'm enjoying your videos - nice, simple and well explained, thanks for doing these!

Your videos are fantastic. The information to time-commitment ratio is great, and the information is relevant and safe. Keep 'em coming! Also, if you had a donate button or similar on your website, I'm sure many of us benefiting from the time put into these videos would be happy to give back a bit!

Thank you! And thanks for the donate button suggestion, it's a good idea.

Roddy, I LOVE hearing you call for TENSION instead of "take". If you haven't already done a video regarding the reason you use TENSION for your command, I think it would be a great addition to the series.

Roddy's reply: Hi Jerry, Thanks! Yeah I think it carries better... two syllables, long vowel sounds... is that what you had in mind? Best, Roddy

Hi what if lowering isn’t the best option but the only because of the bolts being placed over an edge and there being potential for rock rubbing on the rope and your second doesn’t know how to repel or doesn’t have a third hand and doesn’t trust repelling themselves? Would rope guards work ?

@videoracles 3 года назад

Hi, here is Roddy's reply: Even if the bolts are back from the edge, use whatever materials you have-slings, cordelette, static rope-to build your anchor so that the master point is over the edge and the rope doesn't rub. Sure, there might be scenarios in which a rope guard is also helpful, but if you have enough anchoring materials you should be able to prevent abrasion by extending the anchor. With regard to cleaning the anchor when you're done, don't send an inexperienced parter up there to do it! Lower that person, climb the route again, and clean the anchor yourself. A third hand is an essential piece of gear, but if you don't have one, a partner can give you a fireman's belay. For more on rappelling and fireman's belay, check out rockclimb.videoracles.com/videos/rappelling/

I think is better clipping the rope on your belay loop than on a quickdraw on the anchor, otherwise when you untie yourself if your pas fails, you are dead
