Wow, my mind is blown. Thanks for sharing. I just got my first saddle and started watching videos to learn knotts. I was aware of the Blake's hitch (and the double Blake's hitch) and now thanks to you the prusick to use as an ascender. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video. In the other videos I've been watching, they would use only 4 loops and not 5. I'm using dynamic rope and I found the 5 loops hold while the 4 loops tend to slip.
I have trouble with Prusik knots getting so tight under load of my body weight that literally have to push the tag end back through the loops to work the Prusik loose in order to advance it in either direction. Would adding more fingers to the Prusik help distribute the load and keep it from locking up so tight?

I have seen many videos on this subject. You have real talent to be a good teacher.
Short
Very informative
Good display

All the best
excellent job sir...thank u for taking the time and patience to help others understand this elusive field of study.....much appreciated 😀
Super thanks! I understand completely now. Can't wait to go straight rope old school. Beautiful!
Do you have any video of you (or anyone) climbing with the foot loop and this setup?
Sorry friend Do you have video showing this process to climb? I thinked that you will gonna show before end the video
Perfect explanation.Thank you, very much,for taking the time to show this so well.
I like your video and how you explain .
How do you secure the standing end??
Maybe I'm not understanding this, but the foot loop needs to be adjusted by hand correct? Can you explain
Yes that's right. This is a very bare bones way to climb, but also a rather inefficient method.
How do you advance that Prusik after each step?
You tend it like the Blake's i assume?

Yes and use thicker rope like 1/2"
Bride your tag end of your Blake's to the other rope and tie another Blake to auto tend your first Blake
No matter what I do it keeps slipping
an its cheap
