Top Rope Solo with Petzl Shunt CAN Kill You

andykirkpatrick.substack.com

I talked about my views on the Shunt as well as self lining on my latest podcast, talking both about how you can’t make dangerous things safe (because self lining will always be more hazardous than not self lining), but also how I have to be careful not just to be defensive.

Anyway, I’ve included a great video from Yann Camus that covers the issue, plus I think Yann and his videos deserve a lot more attention, as – like me – he’s a climbing geek!
