In this video I do a first ascent of an undeveloped crag with a top rope solo setup. Covered are some tips when looking at sending a new line when going on a solo. We look at assessing the rock and what you can do to ensure a safer climb by using the right gear.
Covered is the whole process including:
Anchor Selection
Anchor Rigging with an 8 foot nylong sling
Descending safetly using a guide belay and third hand (Prusik) to assess the route
Ascending with a Climbing Techology Roll n Lock and Petzl Micro Traxion
Aid Climbing with the Hand Jamer / Jumar Ascender
Personal Gear:
Black Diamond Helmet
Mammut Ophir 3 Harness
Scarpa Helix Climbing Shoes
Rope: Static
