So, a big explosion of of ice blew out behind me while I was filming. I barely noticed but, the belayer said it was epic. Wish I had video from his perspective.

Enjoy the first video from the new Live Rogue team member, neil.. Neil takes a fun look at ice screws. keep in mind thow he v thread worked well and he was able to jump on it without breaking, it is a good idea to make your v threads with longer screws.
Screw-Link Rappel

Ya, ya, you could just use the Munter off the big pear-shaped Carabiner that I clipped into the screw links with. But, for real, you can rappel with screw links. WARNING!

The RIGBIRD | First Look Review | Ascending | Rappelling
Incorrect! Who can tell me what is incorrect!???....try to found!
Dumb question... I gather this is not rated for life support.i.e. climbing right?
Nice video! Btw, what'sa valdutain trusse? Am I spelling it correctly?
Why not just do a 2 rope rappel with the rope running through both quick links? You can pull it through when done.What is the advantage of the macrame knot if both strands of the rope reach the bottom of the pitch?
DANGER : !! This video should be removed in my opinion !! If you wanna learn SAFE rope solo technics, check others videos on the net. There multiple no safe or not always safe things shown here.
Shouldn't a prusik be at least 3mm thinner than your rope?
Guys, this is so sketchy...the crochet slips!! Save that knot for grandma and do it the easy way. Thread your rope through the quicklinks, close the system, and and rappel as usual with an added third hand.... The crochet is more steps and not safe for the last guy rappelling
This is a rock preservation method to reduce damage in the sandstone from pull methods.
@@LiveRogue Huh? you literally have fixed anchors in this video and you're on gneiss rock... Even in the case of sandstone, you're willing to risk hitting the deck over a slipped crochet vs. minor "damage" to rock?
If that cord gets caught and undos the bowline…goodbye. Much better and safer ways.
Man are you sure that your anchor isn't an american death triangle? This type of anchor are reeallly dangerous as the multiply the forces on the bolts instead of dividing.. I would do a bunny ear figure 8, much safer
Pulling both devices a bit up with the chest harness will reduce the potential fall load. It will also iprove the control of what's going on with these devices.
This is such a complicated system
Ohhhhhh we call this the “PFM”, because it’s Pure Fucking Magic
this is bull…, prussik must be always under belay device 🤦♂️
If you are concerned about redundancies why would you use an ADT for an anchor? You seem knowledgeable enough to build a better anchor. Stay safe out there man.
What happens when the last climber is rappelling and the tag line gets caught around their leg and they pull the bowline apart? All of these retrievable systems with the tag line that dismantles the anchor knot are scary. Even if they get down safe there is going to be gear falling down. Why wouldn't you tie a running bowline around the rappel strand with a tag line instead?
Bad things could happen forsure
The method you are suggesting still requires the rope to run the full length of the rock. The idea here is to leave no trace and to create a system where the rope just falls unweighted and does not create grooves in the rock.
The way the video is cut looks like you are releasing the rope while the guy is descending down, lol!
Good perpective of the danger! I would NOT use it for sure. Thanks!
How long is this VT
31 inches
Is it more recommended to hook the prusik to another carabiner like you did or on the same carabiner as the ATC? Thanks
Is this called clogging?
Thanks for the video. Why not just use a trucker's hitch and keep it simple though? You can get a considerable amount of tension without having to use pulleys or prussics
I lead solo all the time and while it’s a very different setup I would never use my micro Traxion as a fall arrest just because of the teeth. You would have been far safer using your gri gri and the roller. One method I use with my taz lov3 when TRS is after the second bolt I stop and tie an alpine butterfly so should my taz fail from an upside down fall that knot is my last resort. If that fails I fucked up big time and I’m not going to need to worry about what comes next.
On a TR solo falling on a microtrax is pretty safe. When you get near the anchor and don’t have a ton of rope above you to soften the shock load, that’s where the teeth can cause a problem (fall factors and the amount of rope in the system and all that). I only use my micro to reduce rope weight on lead solo, but I trust it on TR solo
What is great video. I think you so much. Now my system will work. 👍👍👍👍👍
that's badass, thank you
Would you use this method when working a hard route? I would be worried about repeated falls damaging the rope and have seen people use their gri gri instead with either knots or a backup device like the micro traxion.
"Self-belaying with the GRIGRI is prohibited." - Petzl
Sweet, thank you!
You built a masterpoint on the anchors and complained about the ADT not being ideal?!? You chose to build it that way! Just bring the middle strand down and incorporate it into the figure 8 master not your binered through. Voila, no ADT, although that's hardly a concern with modern 3/8" bolts.
De verdad piensas que se deben de poner los parabolts,puntos fijos tan cerca uno de otro? Tu crees que te los vas ha encontrar tan cerca uno de otro? En pared artificial si,por otro lado,hay que utilizar siempre mosquetones y cuerdas homologadas.
Lets take the time to set everything up, and then be sure to set the camera angle so the most important part is obscured by our hands.
Wow! Thanks for the idea of such an alternative way of hanging a hammock! It surprises me. Using prusik knots to hang hammock and be able to slide it along the rope for adjustment is a really inspiring idea 💡! 🙂 Also with this method it allows to adjust the vertical heights of the hammock ends INDEPENDENTLY of its horizontal adjustment in terms of where it is relative to the trees! For example you could have a 45 degree half sitting configuration
Did you try this out?
@@mydearrileyyes. It works really good. I even made/thought-out some additional significant improvements to this hammock tying system.
Cool but sketchy without a backup , they have a tendency of untying themselves.
How to release the tension?
Move the line for tensioning the opposite direction.
Interesting; so you can use this to lay out a hammock when the trees are fairly far apart
I’ve been beginning to use rope and carabiners for landscaping and noticed how my system closes and can’t be reset so this is exactly what I need. I’ll probably by the CT roll and locks but I would also love to see how this can be done without them. Thank you for this video and piece of knowledge.
Thank you so much
American death triangle!!
And can u use it instead of an ohm?
🗽For this kind of soloing you should avoid falls! ☝ .
Small tip wear gloves rope burn can happen anytime and it sucks
Yep. Truth.
А вы это пробовали сделать, после рывка или нагрузки? несработает🧐
You can do the same thing without any gear too (as far as your second anchor point is smooth enough to redirect the rope without too much friction)
Can this exact same process be used with two sides of the rope going through the ATC (both ends on the ground) rather than just one as shown in the video?
Yes, two ropes through the VT works. However, there is no reason to extend the system as shown.
Hell no- I'm absolutely not rapping on an open bowline.
my exact thoughts
Good video. I'm glad to see you are using locking carabiners for your ascension devices.
Over thinking this one 😞
You need to get out more, You Need another hobby as well as this. You'll need to take a barrow with you ... 😃😂
Reinventing the wheel ... A truckers hitch with a whole bunch of unnecessary equipment !
Scarab is meant for larger diameter ropes though, so if youre canyoneering down a single strand rather than a doubled rope, the scarab isn't good at all, it would be dangerous. It *IS* an awesome device for vertical caving, though I think the Stop/Simple are easier to use, and rappel racks are more adjustable
I've 8.1mm on single line. I just grab all four horns to start, then back down to 2 or 3 horns depending on how much weight I'm carrying.
Great tip. If you don't have the locking pully could you make one with an auto locking truckers hitch?
I’ve done that but it depends on the load and the rope. The friction can melt or fray the rope. Works pretty good with paracord.
What are your thoughts on using a double loop figure of eight knot (bunny-ears) to separate the strands at the top? You could clip the loops directly into the chainlinks. This would avoid the triangular anchor and wouldn't require a carabiner.
100% That would be a good choice. Or I could have built an anchor with other materials.
Bunny makes the 2 ropes secured even if one anchor point brakes
