The fact that this video is free is a true testament to modern learning. Thank you so much for doing this. This has been trully a great lesson. Your channel is awesome!
As a newer climber, this master series is the most helpful thing. Throughout these videos, you have given answers to questions I've tried to search for over time.
You should do a master class on setting up different anchors!! This is such a great format for learning!!
These are so good. I have learned so much from this series already. It's the information from the pamphlets/instructions but then expanded upon and explained in an intuitive, easy to understand format.
I have to say I've never seen any content creator that puts the effort you put into each and every video. It's really appreciated & whenever I want to learn something you seem to always have a really digestible video on it. Thank you for everything you do.
I´m like a giddy kid waiting for these episodes... Great delivery, thanks!
I started climbing in the late 1970's. I never had a class, just went out there and didn't die. I am really enjoying this series. Lots of little bits that I never knew. Back then it was 11mmX45m-50m. A lot has changed. Now it's 9-10mmX60,70, even 80m.
This is, hands down, the most informative climbing series I have ever seen. Keep up the great work and I look forward to whatever you have planned next.
Not only so comprehensive, but very creative in demonstrating, thanks so much! I really appreciate your effort!
As usual, very comprehensive and useful reminders with excellent demonstrations (e.g. great idea of the tape showing twisting of the rope)!
I'm a non climber, but your videos are just so well made I watch them anyway. Considering to start climbing now because of you haha
I love how the content makes me informed about the options out there without devolving into "go buy this do that".
I'm convinced you are the only one out here making educational videos while not trying to sell a product, you show us what you use and educate on alternatives.
While I'm not a climber (yet?) I do have a rather long experience with ropes and here's my favourite way to untwist them (as well as long cords and hoses):
Find a good, clean open space (lawn). Make sure the rope is untangled and grab the loose end.
Start walking. When you're a couple of meters out start collecting the rope into a nice sling (this is very fast and easy once you get the hang of it - as a sailor I hate nested ropes). Continue to walking slowly while collecting the rope, if it doesn't untwist fully walk faster.
Collecting the rope this way also is a great opportunity to feel any variations in the rope (nicks, core damage, burned spots, sand...) if you pay a bit of attention to the rope flowing through your hand.
Old time sailors would tow them overboard for a while to remove twists.
Thank you again for this serie, I've been climbing for more than 10 years and still I learnt some new things in every single of your videos ;)
What I love about getting into climbing is finding people who enjoy the same things as I do outside of the actual climb.
the .3mm difference is fascinating!
I'm really looking forward to get rid of the kinks and hopefully prevent them 😊
Finally how to get rid of kinks
Aka "how to stop my rope from performing bdsm"
What if he just explains why this happens and why it will happen all the time? :)
@@user-ez4iv2kp4f the final timestamp on the video is about un-kinking the rope, so fingers crossed
I call my rope the Bell 1, because.. well it looks like a phone cable 🙄 but as my experience, if you put your rope "together" from one side, there are less kinks, then when you start from the middle and go to the ends. I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to say. Also I hope there will be information about cleaning ropes, especially on the when part. Some of my wash it really often and some people will never wash it, saying its bad. But there is a perfect middle road somewhere, I guess. I'm looking forward to this video!
I referred my climbing instructor to your channel last night - he seemed super stoked that someone might be sharing good information after my explanation of these videos.
Keep it up, these videos are awesome.
Thanks for sharing!
You should be very proud of this series because it’s f*cking awesome. The part about inspection and checking for broken cores is ✊️
Nice work! The whole series is really well done so far.
Thanks for sharing some of the most informative content on climbing out there. Look forward to your collaborative effort with the rest of the bigs on CZcams.
Loving this series.
So excited! So many helpful tips to come :D Thank you
Such a great series! This needs much more attention!
Thanks so much for the time and effort put into making these videos. As always, they’re fun to watch and informative. Even if I know a lot of the lessons in them I’m always eager to get a notification of a new release from Hard Is Easy.
This series has been awesome to watch. I've learned so much and since I've only recently been getting into sport climbing it's been really great for my mental game to have a good understanding of the equipment. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the detailed explanations!
I love this series! It's one of the most informative series of videos I've seen yet! Keep doing what you're doing!
Wonderful in depth video!! Learned so much from it.
I love your masterclass! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Great! I never got these things explained so detailed and comprehensible! Please continue in that style!
Thank you again, this series is an amazing synthesis of what I learned
This is what YT is for. Well thought out well presented info from experienced people. Not for unboxing and eating tide pods...

What a good video. This dude is so good at explaining/teaching. Thanks for all of your videos!
I thuruly enjoy these videos, very happy to get such good information on everything, very thuruly aswell. Ive been bouldering for many years but discovered outdoors rope climbing this summer and im incredibly stoked to move forward with this. Thanks!
Thank you so much for putting this together. You’re doing a great service for people that need a solid basis of knowledge on how and why things are done.
Just wanted to say thanks! Best video so far, very good content that I'm sure will help many people! Legend.
Great job man. Very useful, thanks.
Great info!
Such a good masterclass. Thank you
Yes I agree with the comment. Please to do master classes on anchors, cleaning anchors, and rappels. Basically all the skills needed to go climb outside from scratch.
Really nice work with this episodes! I hope you can keep on working on the chanel
Enjoying the series, really useful. Totally agree with the 1/3 of a millimetre thing!
Very useful video.
Thanks man!
Cool, danke für den Blick über den Tellerand für mich als Sportkletterer 💡
great presentation, well informed, thanks
One of the most useful climbing videos I've seen so many years thank you
Thank you so much for this incredible content !!!
This climbing channel is literally the best on CZcams! so much useful information! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful!
Kudos for another great video Ben! I really admire your ability to cater to novice and seasoned climbers alike. I thought I knew enough about ropes, quickdraws and slings, but honestly I've learned more from watching your videos for the past few weeks than from listening the old geezers around the camp fire back in the pre-internet days, bless 'em.
fantastic video. thanks a lot for sharing all that knowledge
Love that I found this series! Really making an effort to get into outside rock climbing. I was belay-certified for a youth camp 10m wall one summer but never knew beyond the basics till know. Such concise and experience-specific knowledge! Saving this playlist in case I need to refer to it later!
Super helpful! Thanks!
On the 2-point anchor making your rope twist - there is a difference on the plane where both anchor points are. For example, if you do the exact same thing with your 2 point anchor, but add an extra carabiner on each of them first (so that the "holes" naturally line up) - the rope will not twist.
Right now the anchor points have both "holes" in parallel, and that is what makes the rope twist.
If one arrives at an anchor similar to one seen in the video, is there a way to lower (without modifying the anchor itself) without incurring rope twist? For example, is it safe to lower off just one of the rings, or would that be dangerous?
@@roniprograms5540 I would much rather have a twisted rope than risk a single point anchor. If rope length allows it, then even better - double it up and rappel on both strands.
Love this classes. Thanks
Very clear comparison of diefferent ropes and their uses. Thank you.
What a super good video, thank you!
Ty Ben great video as always
Very good information, and well explained!
Your videos are the best climbing videos on CZcams!
thank You for sharing your information and experience ! its very helpful
Thank you for the video, i'm learning a lot

Love it, thank you!
A very informative and in depth video. Well Done.
Thank you - once more a lot of very helpful information👍
This video series is sooo good, thank you! Especially the part about untwisting the rope with the help of a belay device - saves your hands from getting hot, haha!
Thanks for your sharing, learn a lot
Great channel!
Muchas gracias por estos episodios, son realmente útiles. No dudo en apoyar este canal y hacer difusión con los compañeros de escalada! Gran trabajo!
Great Content!!
You explained everything perfectly! Before your session. I was studying physics and fall force factors. Thank you. Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
Danke! Thank you for your videos! I took classes in sport climbing before I started climbing on rock. Additional to the classes, your videos (and the high quality and the effort you put into the videos) help me dealing with gear fear and fear of falling because I can inform myself and be aware of risks and how I can reduce them!
Oh my god! You are incredible! So much info! So easy and so usefull!!!!
thank's a lot for all your videos
Love you teaching techs brother man. As a Military Teacher for other skill sets than what you teach. But we had to Lear Knots and did learn to climb and repel . I really totally enjoyed this video too!
I've watched a lot of videos before buying my rope and now I think this one is a must, not only if you are about to buy one, but for any climber 👌
I just started watching you and love you content so far and your explanation is in-depth
Thank you
This is very useful video. Very nice way of explaining and interesting to follow. Thank you
These videos will help a lot of people, from new climbers to more experienced like myself. Everyone will learn new things with these series, thus helping in making our community safer. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this great series!! For adition, I was taught, that rope curling can also happen, if a new rope gets rolled out inproperly :D
