How to use the MPD (Multi-Purpose Device) for Rope

Does the MPD confuse you? Don't let it as it is a great tool for rope rescue and general use. Although the CMC Clutch has deservedly gained a huge following, this device still has plenty to offer at a cheaper price.

Thanks so much. I want them to be understandable for anyone interested in rope. Cheers

Out of curiosity have you thought about trying the petzl jag rescue pully system that might make it easier because its all contained

[@perryfire3006]

The problem using a set of fours such as the Petzl Jag is that your lifting distance is quite short, especially with the rope provided with that system. With an MPD or a Clutch you could raise indefinitely if the rope were long enough. It would just be a matter of resetting your throws.
The Jag has its place though and is a great system especially for pick-offs and the like.

I'm thinking about ordering a cmc mpd device one of these months

Consider the CMC Clutch instead if you are willing to pay a bit more. The MPD's are still great if you can get them cheap enough (used) but a new MPD is still quite expensive and for the price I would get the Clutch because it works better.
