Want to go down a rope? You should probably learn to go up too!

Prusik Knot | How to tie a Prusik Knot using Step-by-Step Animations | Animated Knots by Grog

Prusiking is a very useful skill for all sorts of things from aiding up a multi pitch as a second, bailing from a problematic abseil (or using an autoblock) and setting up an assisted haul.

We will go through all things prusiking, starting at the very beginning, things like how to tie the prussic, what the different way of prusiking are, how to use an autoblock, and work up from there till we get bored. Starting at 6pm at the ledge ON WEDNESDAY. Brendon C and I will be teaching.

Bring your:

  • harness
  • closed toe shoes that you dont mind wearing while climbing a rope (if thats your climbing shoes thats cool)
  • and any relevent gear you have for ascending or descending, the best practice is practice on your gear.

I will bring everything else we need.

Comment where you think these skills could be useful to you.
