The Edelrid Fuse as a Lead Rope Solo Backup: Real Drops!

Testing the Edelrid Fuse as a lead rope solo (LRS) backup. Using both the Petzl Micro Traxion and my Bliss Climbing Tech fuse jammer setup. I’m doing upright and upside-down fall simulations, testing different diameters of slippery ropes (Sterling and Beal), and showing what happens when the chest cord breaks during a real lead rope solo fall. 0:00 Intro 0:30 DIY Micro Traction backup setup (Defuser + Velcro) 4:05 How the Fuse behaves on slick ropes 6:28 GriGri backup test (upright) 8:53 GriGri upside-down fall test 1 11:23 GriGri upside-down fall test 2 13:30 SuluGo backup tests 15:54 Final thoughts and safety notes Gear used in this video: – Edelrid Fuse – Petzl Micro Traxion – Petzl Grigri 2 – Alternative Current Sulu Go – Bliss Climbing Tech GG Modifier – Velcro / Edelrid Defuser Small backup setup If you want updates about the Fuse Jammer Kit, join the mailing list here: https://blissclimbingtech.com/fuse-ja...

That's why I did my research, bought equipment, experimented and adopted a way to teach rope soloing. I like to refer to my complete online courses. My reasons are the following: -It is dangerous to have partial information about security systems -I need an income to continue my mission to teach and innovate I would love to help you find answers to your questions! I suggest the following solutions: -An in-person course (https://blissclimbing-com.translate.g...) -An online course (https://blissclimbing.com/en/online-c...) -A subscription to my Patreon (I answer on the platform) (  / blissclimbing  ) I prefer to refer to complete courses. The courses should answer 99% of your questions and show you more things you haven't even thought of AND that are essential to being effective and safe! For any remaining questions, I answer every question asked by my clients and try to post everything on the hidden private Facebook groups reserved for buyers of online courses so that all buyers can benefit. I also very often add content to the courses because there is so much to say and teach on the subject AND I still learn quite often! You can always ask your questions on the “regular” public Facebook rope solo groups, but you won't get all correct answers and probably nothing complete. That's why my suggestion is to take the courses!! Looking forward to seeing you buy a course: you will be happy with your choice!!!
