00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.000
I gave the spll to the climbers and

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.200
asked which scenario will cause a harder

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.040
catch for the climber option A where the

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.040
blayer stands far from the wall option b

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:12.679
where the blayer stands close to the

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.240
wall or C that it does not matter and to

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:18.080
my surprise

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:22.160
38% chose option b well for the last 2

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.080
years we've been doing the largest study

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:26.560
on climbing false and now I have a

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:29.599
visual answer to my question so yes in

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:32.559
some cases there was absolutely no

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:35.960
difference however more often standing

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.440
far from the wall caused a harder catch

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.039
for the climber and the belayer had way

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.680
less control and we also tested a

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:46.640
scenario where the belayer is

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.120
significantly heavier than the climber

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.359
and jumping up is much more difficult

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.199
and then we compared everything against

00:00:54.199 --> 00:00:56.680
the tube slide method so if you want to
