The part on the soft catch i.e. lighter climber heavier belayer was very interesting to me, thank you.

@TheClimbingNomads 5 лет назад

Thank you, glad you found it useful 👍 Sophie

Cool tutorial. Very well explained especially the weight difference bit, i have like 35kg on my belayer so he's terrified of me falling lol. I'm a super noob so when i do the lead climbing course this vid will have come in very handy. Thanks

@TheClimbingNomads 5 лет назад

Hi Gareth, thank you for your comment! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. We’ve done a review in the Edelrid Ohm too-a device designed to minimise the impact of a fall if there is a weight difference between climber and belayer (Brett and I use it a lot!)

I'm new to climbing here. 3 months. Doing 5.9s. Just wanted to say I love how you say bee lay. That is all. Thanks for the video. Carry on.

@salbraddy1461 5 лет назад

Thanks for the vid! I'm only just learning to lead and found it super informative. I'm super light and kinda concerned about high-impact slams into the wall lol... will definitely have to make sure anyone who belays me knows about the soft catch

@TheClimbingNomads 5 лет назад

Thank you for the feedback :) there’s a device called the Ohm made by Edelrid which really helps a light belayer/heavier climber-we made a review about it too and I’ve found it super helpful when I’m belaying! Sophie

Sat here like “that looks like the unit...” sees logo and circuit board “THATS THE UNIT!”😂

Yep, they were kind enough to let us do some filming there when it was quite.

@TheClimbingNomads 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@andersonboy620 3 года назад

Very good video, thanks! I would add that sometimes it is useful to unclip the first quickdraw, the one closer to the ground if this one is too close and the climb kind of overhang, this way the belayer takes a more vertical pull instead of being pulled towards smashing on the wall.

@00calimon 2 года назад

At what point would this happen? Would the lead climber have to down-climb after clipping into the second QuickDraw?

@andersonboy620 2 года назад

It is the belayer who sometimes can do it, or some other helpful person

@iambrettiskatealot 2 года назад

thanks! this was great review before taking my lead cert test today. (i passed!)

@TheClimbingNomads 2 года назад

Congratulations! Glad it helped you revise!

@zalimzeher4261 Год назад

Okay it's my first time learning Lead Climbing. I just wanted a quick tip on how to get rid of fear of falling? I know the fall is just a meter or 2 meters or maybe even even 3, but how do I get rid of fear of falling perminently? I really want to do this.

@mihax209 3 года назад

Thanks for a very informative video! What are your thoughts regarding using a small hop as a belayer to provide a soft catch? I found that it's more dynamic (i.e. the fall itself dictates how much cushioning there is, as opposed to moving forwards, where I found I need to be more precise in how much I need to move, to make the catch soft enough and not too soft)

@TheClimbingNomads 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for your comment :) a hop works too, just got to make sure the belayer can stay in control and the hop doesn’t turn into lift off/ slamming into the wall (affects small belayers mostly). Whichever method works for you and you’re used to executing in the moment :)

Big question: not enough examples how to take slack.

@ralfrussel1950 3 года назад

1:00 I don't like the position of your thumb. Thumb and index finger should always form a loop around the rope i.e. tips touching. Are you used to unlocking a Grigri to pay out slack fast?
