In reply to..Hi EveryoneJust a bit of background info on the now infamous How to Use a Ropebag clip.The clip is part of the skills channels on BMC TV. The idea with those channels is to break skills info down into short How-to clips that you can easily watch on your phone, etc. With all the clips, we're working from the ground up, covering all the basic skills first, before building them up. For example, this is the new bouldering channel:

For most of the How-To clips, we get support from a manufacturer, such as DMM or Wild Country (Thanks), who provide shiny new kit to film, and the ropebag clip was filmed as part of a day of how-to filming where approximately 30 clips were filmed, all using DMM gear.
Well spotted on the rope end. We're taking our Training Officer, BMC TV manager and the film crew outside now, and will have them all shot. We'll then re-film the ropebag clip on our next outside filming day in the spring.
Check out the skills channels at

(Coming soon are: Southern Sandstone skills, Indoor climbing skills, multi-pitch climbing and winter skills)
And let us know anything you'd like to see covered, or get in touch if you're a manufacturer and would like to support any of the films.
