Hey, fyi, for the v thread back up you don't want to back up the cordelette, you want to backup your rope itself which is what you are attached to. More chances the cordelette would break than your rope does.

I was going to comment the same thing. It's a very easy change to make but a significant improvement in safety.

This is a super good summary! One thing to add, when leaving gear like pitons or spits. Always make sure to respect local rules. In some mountains it is only accepted to use "clean" protection, so no hammering or drilling allowed.

might be a dumb question… but how do you get the equipment back once you’ve repelled down?

You pull the rope but the slings stay in place for someone else or till you get back there to pick them up..

at min 2:15 rope on rope is bad. Instead use rope on the locking carabiner, and backing up the rope, no the sling, like Lucas wrote previously.

This extreme mountaineering stuff is a little too hard core.... I'm currently in Saas-Fee, but heading over to Simplon to learn Kite boarding... Getting the _right-wind_ is proving a challenge... But I do think it is a cool way to get around the mountain...

It might seem a bit out there, but I think it is always good to know what options there are in the mountains. For sure if you are used to working with ropes as a climber or something this will be less daunting. But maybe that impossible line you dream of doing becomes safe and possible - or maybe not! Great you are off to learn to kite - yes, this seems to be my problem of progressing with the kite too is getting the wind right. Hope you find some. Xv

@@HOWTOXV Thank you for the Reply, Xavier! I would love to learn the mountaineering; I just think it is too much for a Londoner who doesn't live in the mountains... I had a great day Kiteboarding today, in Simplon. Some good riding, some crashing! 😀 Hopefully, I have another session booked for Monday. I think with a bit more practice, I should be good to go. I hope you and your brother are doing well!

Not sure what you mean here - but do you mean what Lukas and Adrien mentioned - at min 2:15, where I made the mistake of having rope on rope and instead use rope on the locking carabiner, and backing up the rope, not the sling. Thanks. Xv
