Prusiking up a rope

- Ascending a rope with prusiks. Descending is also covered so you can get back down when practising. Watch our introduction to prusiks video first for some key information about how to tie hem and pros and cons of three common types. • Introduction to prusiks
Please make sure if you are trying this that the rope is attached to a suitable anchor which is more than capable of taking the load. Кино
there is so much wholesomeness and charisma in this video
Never thought about the clove-hitch back up. I've been prusiking up with only 2 strands of prusiks. Thank you for showing us this method. Really good content!
Nice. Qs. What do you do when the prussik breaks and your left weighted on the clove hitch?
How do you get down the rope then?
@@DBSLAW88 You pack extra like she has?
@@jesserai Yep I realised that you'll need a foot ascender or a way to un-weight the clove , so that you can tie another prussic . Can you image yourself hanging from a clove hitch at your waist thats tightened up. :/
@@DBSLAW88 You would have to redo the prusik to step up and take weight off of the clove hitch to loosen it again

I’ve been watching many videos about different methods for ascending a rope and yours by far is the most instructional. Very clear and well explained and presented. You’re a wonderful teacher.
The method that I use is a hand ascender + grigri. I have a sling and pulley attached to the ascender to get a good foot hold and increase my mechanical advantage when pulling the rope. I personally haven’t tried prusiking up a rope but I chose the aforementioned method because it seemed more smooth and easier to assemble/disassemble.
That was a most enjoyable video and very educational too. You have a pleasing voice that just adds to the learning experience.
The best advice ever...." Always let someone know where you are and what your doing"
So well Done, Straightforward and Explained so methodically.
Love the Extra Safety Line.

Thanks
I’m not a climber but this knowledge is useful in so many ways… thanks for explaining it in a way that non-experts can use. I need to use a prussik today to sort out a ratchet strap without losing tension on the strap… fortunately not a life threatening job!
Used to climb Guava tree when i was kid,
This video has rekindled my monkey urges. Just now ordered a rope, ascender,grigri+,carabiners, harness, cordettes 🐒
Haha! So did I! I'm 58 and haven't climbed since I was in my 20s, but why not practice and try it out a bit. I went ziplining through a huge redwood forest recently for hours, 200 or more feet up and had forgotten how fun it is to be high up on a rope, etc. So I just ordered all the same stuff! AMAZON should be paying for this video.
50 years of climbing for me, a bit of instructing/guiding, as well - you're a good teacher. Thanks for the videos and also for answering many of the questions that are posted; I imagine you have a busy schedule, but you've taken the time to do that.
Great explanation, loved the example hahaha!!
Thanks for your clear and thorough explanations. They time in with the video information very well. The ‘rolling’ clove hitch is a method I had not seen previously as a back-up ‘catastrophe’ knot. Thank you.
You are such a great instructor! You're fun and safe all rolled into one. :)
Watching this video yesterday helped my kid and me gain the confidence to try and successfully ascend our fixed rope today. Just made it home safely and wanted to shoot a comment here. Thank you for the detailed, well-presented instruction. Cheers!
Glad you made it home safe🤗👍
Please, keep updating the channel, it's by far the best content on the subject I found on YT. Comprehensive and pleasant to watch. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I have climbed the mast of my sailboat - around 9m in height - with this method now.
Me to. But before seeing this. I used three standard prussic. My main halyard had come loose, others too thin to take my weight. Very concerned that the prussic would slip on the alloy mast…kept them good and tight.
Sam you're amazing. Clear instructional content is gold dust.
Thank you very much for the feedback, super happy that your finding the content useful. Stand by for our winter ones. ⛄️🤗
Your instruction could save my life one day. Thanks a lot
Great instructional video. You really explained everything clearly, slowly and you demonstrated it perfectly! Thank you.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give some feedback. Really appreciate it. Look out for some more videos over the winter. ⛄️🤗
Excellent demonstration, thank you.
I'm not even a rock climber. It's 1am and I don't even know why I'm watching this video but it was interesting as hell.
Nice to know we can help with insomnia too🤣
I came here from arborist channels as I learn climbing for tree and exterior home maintenance (tall peaks on a log home).
This is a fantastic video for "newbies" like me who want to climb safely and cheaply.
Well done.
Great instructor, lots of very useful information, while staying concise. Thanks for sharing!
I've been looking for this tutorial and I am impressed with your presentation. Thank you.
I've been doing so many things so wrong for so long. This not only looks safe, it looks like fun and good exercise.
Seriously the best delivery of this information…I keep coming back here to remind me.
My interest is entry level and thankfully this gives sensible safety information without chasing us away with hyperbole.
Thanks for this.
Loved the video, I am not a climber but I am fascinated by knots and their uses.
It is amazing what you can do with knots, we love it too. 🤗
Thanks for your clear and concise instruction. I like the addition of the clove hitch.
Such a good and easy to follow video. Thank you, I'm looking into starting tree working in the near future and this was a big help.
Thanks for sharing and including that safety clove hitch back up! Excellent. Really educational.
Thank you for an fun and informational block of instruction!
Verry nice explanations and demo!! Love it from start to finish!!!
Best instructor ever !!!!
The instruction in this video is so well done. Very clear and understandable!
Clean, clear, very informative, you are a splended instructor
what a wonderful instructor, concise instruction, humour, a winning personality so glad I've found this channel ....
I enjoyed the humor in the video as well as the very well paced explanation.
Thanks so much! 😉👍
You’re an excellent teacher!
Brilliant instruction. Thank you!
Fantastic instruction. Clear and authoritative but not too dry. Fab.
Great video. Thanks for doing such a great demonstration.
Best video on this I have found . Thanks
Slow and clear instruction. A+ 👍
The best prusik explanation for ascending so far ! Great work ! and thanks a lot ! Crystal clear instructions and explanations
Yes, best explanation, only one thing. IS NOT A PRUSSIK
Wow, it was fun! I love the funny yet professional way you talk about these things.
Thank you for a very helpful and engaging tutorial!
Great sense of humor! Awesome Job! Thank You! :)
I am still waiting for the springtime weather to arrive before I start climbing, but in the mean time I have been experimenting with four prusik hitches (classic, distel, VT, and schwabisch) to see which works best with my ropes. With new rope and prusiks, slippage was a problem, but after just a little use everything tightened right up. I wish I had known of these hitches decades ago. It would have made many of my jobs easier and safer.
Thank you for your tutorial. I am VERY new to climbing, and as I am closer to being a senior citizen I've noted that cardio fitness is of paramount importance. On my very first day out rappelling with one of my sons, I was using a Hollow Block as a third hand (klemheist). I ended up descending too quickly and the hollow block locked up on me and was unable to release the load on the hollow block. Thankfully, I had a second bit of rope to use as a backup prusik. I was able to get myself out of the situation, but not after securing myself into the rope and cutting the original hollow block out of the system. Hairy learning experience. So much so, that my adult son is hesitant to climb with me. He is afraid for his dad understood!
You are as entertaining as you are educational. Bravo!
Excellent tutorial and demonstration, well done…
I just ordered a harness, climbing rope, carabiner, prussik know ropes, a safety lanyard, etc. I had forgotten how much fun I used to have climbing. I'm 58 and haven't done it since I was in my 20s (In the Eastern Sierra in California near the minarets in the Ritter range). I may not go all out, but why not? Your video inspired me. Amazon is making a fortune from people getting inspired by your great video! If nothing else, I have the means to escape a fire if I'm trapped on the 2nd or 3rd floor, lol, since I already have a gas mask and fire blankets. Silly, I know.
Really, I just want to play around with climbing again, whether it's trees or rocks. Thanks!
What a great instruction!
Brilliantly presented. Nice work!
Nice progress. Thanks for sharing.
Darlin! This was a pleasure and very informative watch. Thank you for this truly valuable content.
Thanks for the educational info on prussics!
That was very good info! Good instruction. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. That is a useful info.
Wonderful video, you're a great instructor!
First time I see how to climb with ropes. Impressive. Excellent informative video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! Nicely explained
Thank you. Been doing some yacht rigging, think this is excellent. Especially the clove hitch back up. Can't have too much back up aloft!
So many handy informations in one video! Love your channel and thank you for this :))
Awesome video. Great skills and explanation.
Everyone, do yourselves a favor and watch all the way to the end... that last bit of advice was the best!! LOL!
This lady is an great instructor...
I can see she knows...
very instructional and funny video, expecially liked the effort on explaining safety and "why which knots are where" will be very useful to practice in the barn under the cows supervision XD
Exceptionally informative and well-timed for my purpose. After this I reviewed my scout's knots, hitches and lashings for a tree removal project. All I have is a 1/2" diameter of nylon rope which I tried but do not recommend. The Prussik, I looped 4x and tested for tightness. It was tight enough for me to hang on. However, I could not test it long enough.
This was great instruction. Thx !
Thanks very much. Some more videos due for the winter😆
There was something very "Julia Child" about this instruction. Thank you!
Excellent. Thank you.
This is an absolute goldmine of double entendres.
Great video. Very clear and precise.
jim cross thanks very much. Working hard on some new ones this week too😃
Very clear instruction,Ilike this video very much!
Very nice presentation. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge
Well done. Really, jolly good content. Cheers! Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Very good!
That was the best tutorial I've seen so far!!! Great detail in everything. Top job! I've subbed.nice work. 🙂👍👍👍👍
I'm 62, so I'll never do this, but it sure was AWESOME to watch. Thanks. Be careful out there.
I'm 62 and I will be using it to go up the mast of my boat. Age should never be a barrier
Loved this! I have not and will never PLAN to climb or descend, but I thought it would be a nice bit of knowledge to have! I will practice it and figure out how to make a hasty-harness...wait, YT will have a video on that!
Great video, very clear
It helped me correct some things I'm not doing well with SRT
Great educational video 👍
Simple and clear, nice
Your a great instructor! Seriously top job! Cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work 🙂👍👍👍
Just found your channel, this info is great! I’m really enjoying watching your videos
SoapDec TV Thanks very much, we are working hard on more content! 😃
Thanks for this!
I’m impressed with how easily the Klemheist releases. Very good. I’ll have to look up your video on the various prusik knots.
Good video.
Thanks Paul, lots of people struggle to release the Klemheist, but when you know to flick the ‘head’ it is a great and reliable prusik. Have fun practising. 😃
@@LeadingEdgeMountain Thanks. I mostly use these methods for getting into trees to hunt Whitetail Deer. I don't know if I could go up a side of a mountain like you and your friends do. I get nervous enough just getting up a tree.
pretty cool.I use the french prusik for safety ascending during foot lock.
I use a figure 8 to come back down sometimes.
Super nice vidéo, thank you very much
Bond/Moore did this in For Your Eyes Only.
Classy, less techno gadget Bond flick
He was scaling sheer rock and bad guy up top removed all but one rock anchors, so he made a prussic out of his shoelaces to climb the single remaining line.
Thought this was one of his best on the spot feats of ingenuity, new to me at 16yo
I will almost certainly never use this but just seems like one of those things everyone should know!
Educational, entertaining, and fun/funny - you’d be fun to hang out with!
Great demo!
Thanks very much, chuffed you liked it and hope it was useful🤗
good video - thank you
Good demonstration ma'am very informative Thanks
Great video thanks
Very good,thanks
LOL, only so many pairs of clean pants. Great line.
THis is totally different than how i do it, like incredibly different haha. This method has less gear requirement though and interesting to see the clove-hitch used that way. Because i'm pretty much always on rapell if i need to prusik back up i already have my rapel device and backup in place. So i just attach a pursik above the rapel device, attach a sling to it and girth hitch my foot with that. Then it becomes a case of, stand up, pull rope through device, sit down, slide lower prusik, slide upper prusik, rinse and repeat. Always enjoy seing the different scenarios in which techniques are applied.
Very Nice Video. Thank you
