1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
I gave the spll to the climbers and

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,200
asked which scenario will cause a harder

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,040
catch for the climber option A where the

4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:11,040
blayer stands far from the wall option b

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,679
where the blayer stands close to the

6
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:16,240
wall or C that it does not matter and to

7
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:18,080
my surprise

8
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,160
38% chose option b well for the last 2

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,080
years we've been doing the largest study

10
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,560
on climbing false and now I have a

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,599
visual answer to my question so yes in

12
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:32,559
some cases there was absolutely no

13
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:35,960
difference however more often standing

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,440
far from the wall caused a harder catch

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,039
for the climber and the belayer had way

16
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:44,680
less control and we also tested a

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,640
scenario where the belayer is

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,120
significantly heavier than the climber

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,359
and jumping up is much more difficult

20
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:54,199
and then we compared everything against

21
00:00:54,199 --> 00:00:56,680
the tube slide method so if you want to
