0:00:00.080,0:00:02.000
I gave the spll to the climbers and

0:00:02.000,0:00:05.200
asked which scenario will cause a harder

0:00:05.200,0:00:08.040
catch for the climber option A where the

0:00:08.040,0:00:11.040
blayer stands far from the wall option b

0:00:11.040,0:00:12.679
where the blayer stands close to the

0:00:12.679,0:00:16.240
wall or C that it does not matter and to

0:00:16.240,0:00:18.080
my surprise

0:00:18.080,0:00:22.160
38% chose option b well for the last 2

0:00:22.160,0:00:24.080
years we've been doing the largest study

0:00:24.080,0:00:26.560
on climbing false and now I have a

0:00:26.560,0:00:29.599
visual answer to my question so yes in

0:00:29.599,0:00:32.559
some cases there was absolutely no

0:00:32.559,0:00:35.960
difference however more often standing

0:00:35.960,0:00:39.440
far from the wall caused a harder catch

0:00:39.440,0:00:42.039
for the climber and the belayer had way

0:00:42.039,0:00:44.680
less control and we also tested a

0:00:44.680,0:00:46.640
scenario where the belayer is

0:00:46.640,0:00:49.120
significantly heavier than the climber

0:00:49.120,0:00:52.359
and jumping up is much more difficult

0:00:52.359,0:00:54.199
and then we compared everything against

0:00:54.199,0:00:56.680
the tube slide method so if you want to
