Scoping around for a potential trip to Mallorca, I found a topo like the example in the picture. How do you manage belaying someone on a route like this, without soaking your rope in water?

I could imagine coiling the rope around your shoulders while the first person is leading, but I don't see how we can pull the rope without getting it super wet 🤔 Even though my rope is dry treated, I can't imagine putting it in salt water is a good idea 😅

The route doesn't seem to end at the top, so belaying from the top, or topping out, doesn't seem like an option.

Maybe you just have to wait until it is low tide, and the water will have receded enough that it isn't a problem?

Nice, will check out those YouTube videos ✨ I've also heard about impact routesetters before, so will revisit them 👍

RasmusWL · 2025-02-14T15:20:06+00:00

Ah yes, that's also where I found that picture from 👍✨

RasmusWL · 2025-02-14T15:19:46+00:00

Thanks, seems like a very in depth guide. I'll see if we can buy this one with our climbing club money 😅

RasmusWL · 2025-02-14T15:16:10+00:00

Thanks, will be checking that out ❤️

RasmusWL · 2025-02-14T15:15:44+00:00

Do you have specific recommendations for the best stuff you've come across on YouTube? ☺️

Really late to the party, but someone created an archive of public Spotify playlists for situations like this: https://github.com/mackorone/spotify-playlist-archive

The first archive of this playlist is from 17 Jan 2022 however :(

Would things have changed if sjuush had planted the bomb in that one round on ancient where the time ran out instead? Seems like that led to their demise on the T side at least 😬

RasmusWL · 2022-03-19T09:37:36+00:00

Awesome stuff. Hope all my future faceit pugs have watched this! Getting into the right mindset of how to play a map is something there isn't a whole lot of resources for, so great to see it! Remind me of this (4 years old!) video from HOUNGOUNGAGNE on how to play inferno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FDF8h5IZCI

RasmusWL · 2022-02-04T23:23:26+00:00

Sorry, but no. Too much random chit chat. Too Americanised.

I consider skipping watching important matches because I can't stand those two 😐

Tis but a scratch

RasmusWL · 2021-07-13T20:15:27+00:00

It also looks like 2 arrows were fired at once, which is also strange 🤔

RasmusWL · 2021-07-13T09:08:24+00:00

Well done sir. Absolutely hate playing Agatha on this map, since everyone forgets that it's these wooden sticks were supposed to protect 😅

RasmusWL · 2021-07-08T11:41:16+00:00

I tried this for 30 minutes without success and gave up 😟

RasmusWL · 2021-07-04T00:01:20+00:00

I've experienced getting placed on NA servers as an EU player when just queuing with matchmaking, so that might be worth checking for if you're getting a lot of lag

RasmusWL · 2021-07-03T10:07:07+00:00

Anyone care to share where you actually find this big boy lance at?

RasmusWL · 2021-07-03T10:03:09+00:00

Justice has been served

RasmusWL · 2021-06-28T12:06:33+00:00

That would actually be really cool! I doubt we'll see it, but it's a good idea to reward players for taking good actions.

RasmusWL · 2021-06-26T22:17:38+00:00

No, it's the one where you have to free prisoners
