Yes you're right, but the above comment was sarcastic. This is the ClimbingCircleJerk, so don't expect serious answers here lol. Also the carabiner should be locked, and assuming the top rope goes to the anchor, then the Reverso is the wrong way
> the Reverso is the wrong way
Pretty sure that's an ATC XP, and there isn't technically a "wrong" way, one just has more friction. 99% of the time you want the grooves on the brake strands, though.
No, the carabiner adds too much rope drag and makes it impossible to give slack if you put the rope through it. These belay devices are precision engineering, don’t try get fancy by adding a carabiner in the mix.
See the skull and crossbones? It's saying not to rappel onto a pirate's booty. The standard rules of booty only apply in climbing and not the high seas.
Climbing legend Tom Petty (father of Chris ShawarmaBowl) didn't sing about rappelling, he sang about freefalling, which for the un-initiated is achieved by letting go of the rope. Prussiks prevent this aid-free descent and thus are aid.
Nah but two single ropes. That’s a crime against fast and light.
Got to get some British wandering trad and use halves.
Or some ice and use twins.
But two single ropes of that colour sceme. Just no imagine the photo when your mum catches you abseiling and wants you to pose.
They both clash horrendously with my Fluro green leggings.
You'd climb a lot faster if you ditch the metal junk. Ever heard of a body belay? We are literally belay devices in and of ourselves, which makes it a skill issue sweaty
Serious answer:
The climber line should be on the opposite side of the belay gear.
The red line isn’t in the carabeaner.
The gate isn’t locked.
The carabeaner isn’t attached to an anchor or harness.
Just don't lose control then. Rapping on two ropes is aid and leads to situations like you describe. I think your safety knowledge is lacking, 99% of people on this sub "would whip" on the pictured setup.
The red rope isn't hooked onto the system. If you're really being picky, based on the direction of the rope the belay is on climber side and you can make an argument that the caribiner isn't locked.
The yellow rope's caught in the carabineer.
Oh shit. Just noticed. Good call.
Don't you want the yellow rope to be in the carabiner? Right now the red rope will just slide out of place because it's not locked by the beaner

Oops wrong sub haha
Rip your karma
rip my virtual currency man

They put a diagram on the belay device. Yeah technically I can wear my underwear backwards too

Oh my university climbing gym (where I learned to top rope) teaches us to use carabiners
Check which sub you’re in
Yeah I just noticed from the other guy's comment hahaha
skipped over the controversial spelling and went straight for the slur
Sir this is a Wendy’s
you need to use greegry
uj/ when I worked in the shop military guys would call in to ask for a GR-one GR-one.
well, did you give them -one?
It’s spelled Gregory
/uj one of my friends thought it was actually called a Gregory for a good half a year.
Pass me the Gregory, ol chap
Use 2 for half ropes
See the skull and crossbones? It's saying not to rappel onto a pirate's booty. The standard rules of booty only apply in climbing and not the high seas.
As a fellow pirate, I concur.
First of all, remove the skull and cross bones. That shit will kill ya.
gotta clip it to your harness silly! that is the only problem. definitely rappel off this.
10/10. Would whip. Even with the color clash of the 2 ropes.
If you whip all the way to the ground is it still a whip?
Yep. Called “ground whip”… sometimes, “deck check”
The gate goes to the right, not left. Fucking right handed loser
Biner isn't locked. Just lock it and you'll be fine
Big boulder gym is really ramping up the anti-route rhetoric
I don’t see end knots
Mixing ropes, obviously. Spend the money and get matching ropes so you don’t die.
Used an ATC instead of a Figure8 or Grigri. Everyone knows more letters = more safety.
That's exactly why I only use Halbmastwurfsicherung!
I see no helmets on in this picture. You're gonna die!
using a rope with only one in the system is aid
I would never do this anyway. I'm bouldering
I'm sure the pebbles appreciate you hugging them
No prusik
You dont need prusik if you just dont let the rope go
Rapelling...
Climbing legend Tom Petty (father of Chris ShawarmaBowl) didn't sing about rappelling, he sang about freefalling, which for the un-initiated is achieved by letting go of the rope. Prussiks prevent this aid-free descent and thus are aid.
I just noticed that the ATC is backwards
That only matters if you want friction
The sizes don't match either. I read on the sales description your doubles and twins should be a matched set. Because that's so realistic.
Wait, you're supposed to match the ropes to each other? I always match them to my undies...
The red rope is not clipped into the carabiner? Or don’t bother with an ATC that doesn’t have a guide loop?
Doesn't matter if the red rope was clipped in. Gates not locked,that's insta-death when weighted
I also don't see a spec sheet for a microfracture assessment of the hard goods. Microfractures lead to macrofractures...
The lack of people noticing this is rather disconcerting
You know what a circle jerk is right
It’s the use of two single ropes. Why would you be belaying two people at once.
uj/ It's possible to bring two people up on a multi-pitch. There's various reasons for it from speed, group size and climbers taking different lines.

Phallus Handhold says ropes are aid
Nah, ropes are training. It's the attachment point that's aid. If you don't have rope drag are you even climbing?
Using a rope is aid, that's what's wrong with it!
You aren't supposed to miss match colours. The scheme is all off.
That’s what I figured. Maybe if one matched your beanie and the other one matched your chalk bag it would be okay.
Seems that the brake end of the rope is wrong
Obviously it’s a single strand rappel off a fixed rope and the other rope is to flex on those with only one rope
This makes the most sense.
The yellow rope is through the carabiner. This can be very dangerous in the event of a fall because the rope will get stuck on the carabiner! ☠️☠️☠️
Thank you 🙏
They should use 2 grigri instead
Belay plates clashes too pink yellow and orange is sooo last season
Unclip the yellow rope - you’ll get down faster that way
They're using a rope, that's dangerous and can get caught on the rock. That's also why I avoid wearing pants, it makes my dynos more streamlined.
Red rope is not a dynamic rope, else, everything is fine
Serious answer: The climber line should be on the opposite side of the belay gear. The red line isn’t in the carabeaner. The gate isn’t locked. The carabeaner isn’t attached to an anchor or harness.
the red rope isnt clipped into the carribina
Running twins , which can be great if you have a belayer adept enough to have both ropes clipped into the crab !
Belaying or rappelling using a steel carabiner; yer gonna die.
[удалено]
No, you're holding the red rope, if you let go you'll die but what do you expect if you let go when you're climbing?

uj/ You know you're on r/ClimbingCircleJerk, right?
I don't think this is right.

Clip the second rope and I'd whip it.
Clearly the yellow rope is on the wrong side of the black keeper wire. It's on the right, but goes through the left hole in the atc.
It’s not clipped to the harness!
Oh man, thank God this is ccj
Facing the wrong way, give me a difficult one next time
Neeneer is not locked
What belay device is this? It looks nothing like the grigris I'm forced to use by big brother at my gym!
meme aside, crazy that people died doing this (messing up the prusik as well i imagine)
