Forward byline adjustment

hey guys Aaron here I've been doing line work on the east coast of Canada for 15 years now so the other day I had an apprentice ask me about the proper height adjustments and shin pads on his climbing gear after giving them a few pointers to help figure out what works best for him I referred to the actual owner's manual only to find much of the same bag instruction my apprentice had found previously on the internet indicating that the adjuster should be placed two fingers below your knee bow so here's the problem what do they mean by your knee bone is that your kneecap not exactly now I realize maybe you've already been climbing for a while now but I'm gonna give you a little more in-depth explanation as to how to position the shank and pads on your climbing gear first thing is to make sure that you're wearing your boots while making the suggestion I'm not gonna get into how to remove the actual screws and make the adjustment on the shank I mean if you're having trouble with this perhaps you should rethink your careers alignment I'm just kidding now without using any real fancy medical terms if you feel around about an inch below your kneecap you'll feel a second small bump that's where your tendons attach your kneecap to your tibia this is where you want to have a two-finger spacing while on the sitting position it'll also leave enough space not to pinch your leg when taking those real big steps trying to climb up and over that telephone wire so essentially the idea is to have the shin pad as high as possible without causing irritation to those crucial areas of your joints and knee the last thing you want is a constant chafing against your patellar tendon this position allows the shank to minimize stress on your leg while maximizing mobility also having the upper strap in the top portion of your calf muscle will even keeping those climbers on tight without losing mobility around the ankle before I go I just wanted to mention one more thing I've noticed a few guys tightening their bottom buckles over top of their pants now it's completely up to you but this will causes first loosen up slightly around your foot throughout the day as well as restrict your movement when climbing those real congested poles in my opinion it's just bad practice another thing you have to remember is there are many makes and models of climbing gear these days it's always important to read instructions specific to your brand and ultimately make sure what you're doing is both safe and works for you if you got body parts going numb every time you climb chances are something's not right well that's it for today don't forget to subscribe we've got a video coming up showing you this real neat hammer with some hidden functions
