Brent Barghahn from Avant Climbing shows us his favorite Top Rope Solo systems and why he chose the devices he did. We include many break tests so we don't have to wonder when a micro traxion vs a ropeman desheath a rope and if backups knots work.
This video is showing how Brent does it and is only intended for you to understand what you are looking at when you go with someone who knows what they are doing. PLEASE DON'T TOP ROPE SOLO TO LEARN CLIMBING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND A CLIMBING PARTNER. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
