There is one guy... His life
is belaying! Many people have
never seen this man, and many people have never
even heard of this man. I don’t know if you have ever
almost been struck by lightning, but it’s the same
when you're around him. You feel like your hair
is standing on end, but it’s not. You have kind of like butterflies
in your stomach, or like... Maybe it’s like your first kiss
when you are a kid. You are super nervous
and it’s amazing... That’s kind of the only way
I can relate it. I have seen him do
these moves... They're just impossible! Well, we only spent
a few hours together, but it was just…
Wow! I belay roughly
250 days a year, at all sorts of crags
and for all types of climbers. In the winter, I head south to Spain
to continue belaying. I also belay in climbing gyms
since everyone needs a belayer. I belay something like
400kg to 500kg of climbers per day. That's 6 to 8 hours per day on average,
6 days in a row. Then I need to take a day off,
to give my neck a rest... No I don’t climb. I'm a belayer. C'mon my friend,
I'm right with you! Piece of cake,
that's it! If you want to be
the best belayer in the world, you need to accomplish
all Seven Summits. You need to be
a high-mountain guide. You need to be a PhD
in at least 3 different subjects. And you have to have
a political career. Oh… maybe not
a political career... From birth,
you must be trained, and basically evolve your
own human body into a new form
of human being actually. Basically the world's best belayer
has a reinforced neck, and has an incredible ability
to be stationary on the ground. How could I not dream to be belayed
by the world's best belayer? Maybe I'd be able to climb
the next level at that stage? Maybe it wouldn’t be
a sport route... Does he come up
multi-pitch? He is the best belayer because
I know he is always there with me. 100% focused. And that means
I can give it 100%. He doesn’t even recognize
human beings as existing. He is more using
them as an object, in which he can interact
with the Art of Belaying. The world's best belayer?
He is rumored to exist, But he has the beta
on every single move, so when you get your hands wrong,
he gets you out of that situation. Seven clips to the right,
not eight. It’s not just about knowing
they're a good belayer, you need to have
a higher relationship. It’s kind of an unwritten code,
you don’t even need to speak. You just know.
It’s just together. No worries,
it's all good. You'll send it. The best belayer
in the world? He's somebody who
will pat you on the back, and give you a hug
when you’re feeling down. Always
on the same move!! I stink
at climbing!! Don't worry... Next time
you'll send. Basically the world best belayer
is telepathic most likely, and has an instinct. It doesn’t matter
what words are said. It’s eyes-closed navigation. Everything is
communicated, somehow. You have to be able to predict
any circumstance, which is why
I think that precognition is probably the only way
to truly achieve this. Basically they can
leave their body and see things
from any perspective, at any point. Only people
with precognitive sense can truly prevent
real accidents, and keep you safe. You need to be able to see
every variable in the future possible, for every moment that
could possibly happen. I don’t know
what happened. I was clipping, my right foot slipped. Thanks. I'm out of breath! Everyone knows
he is the world's best belayer. Trouble is he’s very expensive,
he charges film-star rates. I've called him so many times
to see if he can come and belay me, but he never
got back to me... He’s just a
busy guy, you know. But maybe someday... When I will find
my perfect belayer, it will be love... at first belay! Here are my climbers
for today! It’s gonna be a long day
of belaying... I'd better stay
focused... Impressive? That's going just
a bit too far. People say
that he is not bad... But to go from "not bad"
to "better than me"!! When he belayed me
and I sent my route, I actually broke
down in tears, just because
I was so emotional, this man was so incredible. Basically I was moved. I had never experienced
anything like that, and it changed my life.
There's more climbing in this joke video than there is in serious climbing videos.
That's a long video for a joke.
9:10.... You know you're good when you're too busy for Sharma.
and the world's worst belayer
That dyno that Melissa Le Neve does... 👌🏽
There's actually some pretty sick climbing in this video.
That whip pre-clip at 4:22 was slick
That box he has is a Monoprice 25"x19"x11" Hard Case. Goes for like $200.
