The Rope Access Channel
Welcome to The Rope Access Channel!
Once a week I release a new video to provide both up and coming and experienced rope access technicians with high quality rope access instructional training exercise video's. Sometimes I might sprinkle in an extra episode as well.
The Rope Access Channel aims to provide you with the basic understanding of the competencies needed to become a Rope Access Technician. As the channel (and you) grow, so will the library of videos. The techniques will get more advanced by the month. The video archive and playlists can serve as your visual "how to" reminder.
These videos do NOT replace in person training!!
If you have a request just send me a DM and I'll get right on it!

Hey, Rope Access community! 👋 How have you all been?
I've been taking time off to recharge, but I’m slowly making my way back. Got some plans cooking—I'm gearing up to film new content, reaching out to manufacturers, and putting together a fresh list of rescue scenarios to cover. My original list had over 70 ideas (yep, I went a bit overboard), so I’m narrowing it down to something more doable. 😅
Let me know what you’ve been up to! Any new projects or techniques?
Specific things you would like me to film??
Drop a comment below and let’s catch up!
Stay connected

Greasy ropes… This is the same rope. It was white a few weeks ago. The last 20 meters is in use, the rest is rigged to rescue in a bag. The last few meters are completely covered in grease and this tapers of the further you get from the end. This rope is used on a big crane inspection job where everything is greasy and it is impossible to keep the rope clean.
For the conversation, when would you retire a rope like this, what are your considerations for retiring?
I am interested to hear your thoughts on this and how you treat this where you work.
Leave a comment and get this conversation started😃

If I were to do a Youtube livestream at the @IndustrieelKlimmenBV training facility, what would be some of the things you would like to see?
Rope access rescue's?
Rigging?
Technical rope rescue?
Whiteboard theoreticals?
Q&A (could be done while performing rope access rescues of course)
Be specific what you would want to see so I can narrow it down.

No video today. I am still editing this one and Christmas dinner is waiting. So the Complex pulley systems will have to wait till tomorrow.
Here are two of the systems. One will be in the video and one won't have a go at them. You can also check out the ones from the frame grab.
Have fun ;-)

The Rope Access Channel Logo Stories Part 4/15
This was a COLD one! Where we now have a beautiful warm start of november in The Netherlands, We had a really cold one in 2019. Ropes were frozen to the roof in the mornings.
The job was to find and repair a leak in the facade of the top 2 floors of this appartment building. Rigging was to the window washer lift and I remember quite challenging to deviate to the corners. I can't find any photos of it though. Maybe there is a reason for that haha.
You can tell it was called because my partner in crime Henk Jan was putting on gloves and a coat! He never does that!
Good times!

The Rope Access Channel Logo Stories Part 3/15
If I remember correctly, I took this photo on an offshore windcampaign where we had multiple scopes. One was cleaning bird shit of the Transition Pieces which you can see in the photo and the other was an inspection of the fall arrest system and some other things on a nearby tower. We had great views at 115 meters. We also had to deal with a busted winch where, after a risk assessment, we used and actsafe winch to lift our gear.
This part wasn't necessarily rope access and is something you do run into sometimes. Come to think of it, we went up and down the tower on ropes. So still rope access😜
