These include:
Alpine Butterfly:
Threaded 8
Clove Hitch
Italian Hitch or Munter
Standard Prussik
French Prussik

Always extend your rappel device and attach auto-blocks to your harness loop. Don’t attach your auto blocks to your leg loop. That is an old way of doing it that’s led to many deaths when the leg comes up and contacts the belay device. Notice how he even has to re-adjust it in the video because it comes too close to the belay device.

@luis.borges 4 года назад

@@gabeweight9131 the double fisherman's is not most important mistake, what could get you killed is the prusik position. Is not recommended to put the prusik in the leg loop because if you get hit by a rock, your head and torso will most probably go back and your legs go up, in this case the prusik will go against belay device becoming useless and you'll fall hard. The correct technique is to always extend the belay device, using a PAS, dyneema/nylon sling or a quickdraw and then put the prusik on the service loop.

Some advice on the prusik/rappel situation: You might want to extend the tuber away from your harness using a dyneema sling etc. and put the prusik onto your belay ring in the harness. That way, the prusik can not be sucked into the tuber device. It is also not recommended to fix it to one leg loop as you showed in the video.

@richardellard 2 года назад

@clown5911 4 года назад

Please change the section on the prusik knot. The prusik literally touches the ATC in the video. If this happens during a fall, you can be seriously injured or die. The belay device should be extended away from your body so the rapel backup cannot touch it.

@pedeiksz 4 года назад

The prusik can get loose and it can basically stop working when it touches/stops at the belay device. You never ever want them to touch and that can happen when you tie the prusik to the leg loop and lift your leg for whatever reason or when your belay device is not far enough from you. That's potentially deadly dude. Make extensions and stay safe.

@dalivanwyngarden3204 4 года назад

I think it is better to put the prusik above the belay device if there is no option to extend the belay device itself from the body away. Makes it a bit more difficult because there is only one break hand left but I think it's still better than nothing / a bad working prusik on a leg loop.

@dunklezwiebel 2 года назад

@@dalivanwyngarden3204 but then all weigth is on the prusik and not the belay device. And also if you panic or loose your brakestrand, you could grab ahold of the prusik causing it to slide and you falling.

@dalivanwyngarden3204 2 года назад

@@dunklezwiebel Die Reepschnur ist je nach Dicke von (3 bis 6mm) 2-5KN zugelassen. 3mm sollte man aber eher nicht nehmen, da diese durch die Seilreibung auch schneller durch ist. Aber da man beim abseilen nicht sehr schnell ist, sollte dieser Prusik eigentlich auch halten (auch wenn man sehr schnelll ist) Kletterseil hat ja auch nur ~7KN Rating dynamisch. Aber du hast natürlich recht, das wäre sehr unglücklich - aber ich meinte ja auch nur wenn man das Sicherungsgerät nicht weit genug vom Körper wegbekommt(Schlinge runtergefallen etc.), wenn es irgendwie sein könnte, dass der Prusik von unten ins belaydevice kommt und man dadurch ungebremst fällt, ist es definitiv besser den Prusik über den Gerät zu machen. Wenn das der Fall ist, der eher ein Ausnahmefall ist, sollte man noch mehr Vorsicht walten lassen, dass man eben nicht in Panik gerät. :) Irgendwie in die Beinschlaufe den Prusik einzuhängen sollte man unter keinen Umständen. Je nach dem welchen Stopperknot man macht, kann der auch durchrutschen, also sollte man das mit dem Seil und verschiedenen Knoten ohnehin ausgiebig ausproben. Es gibt auch einen besonderen Prusik den man unter Last lösen kann, der aber zuverlässig hält.

@nicolasvanvlasselaer2647 4 года назад

Also the double fisherman inside the prusik is not ideal. The information about the other knots are very nice

@solalanot 3 года назад

At least the German "Alpenverein" safety research still propagates this "classic" method in 2020 (www.alpenverein.de/chameleon/public/6fe2054f-1596-91df-0e1c-33a6a7892f0c/Panorama-4-2020-Sicherheitsforschung-Abseilen_31504.pdf). It also shows the "swiss method" which is probably the way you reommend?

It is the ATC that takes up the load in this case. The force on the legstrap is much less than sitting in the harness.

@bofh 3 года назад

On the internet everyone is an expert. This is a video about knots, not a repelling instruction. His method is one of the recommended methods for repelling and perhaps he is not interested in a debate about it? There is a risk that it will not lock if falling backwards and letting go of the rope with the hand, but it was obvious that it worked as he tested it by loading the system in the worst, normal position (the rope going straigt out from the body). There is one less sling needed, one less step to make compared to attaching the prusik to the belay loop. I don't do alpine climbs so I have no idea how big of a risk it is to fall backwards. With a tight rope I don't see how it will happen, but I've never repelled with crampons. On rock I use this method most of the time.

Just watched this video and am taken aback. Thank you all so much for the string of comments regarding the section on prusik knots. I endorse what has been said. The section on prusiks is seriously erroneous with advice that could result in fatality. Comments below have been made over many months and staggeringly this video is still posted. It needs to be taken down for revision immediately. In addition to previous comment, there are a variety of prusik knots and it is essential that climbers know the appropriate use of a particular knot that they employ and that they are conversant with the strengths and weaknesses of that knot. Learn which of the knots can be used as an auto block!! If you don't you are dicing with death.

Does anyone here put a prussik above the belay device?

@andrewdineen2387 2 года назад

It might be used more as a auto block when ascending a rope for rescue on easier ground. For example if a beginner climber won't come down and the instructor has to self belay up the rope. A French prussik should slide up, just by pulling the slack side of the rope, as the rescuer/belayer is ascending. A fall would have little force and the auto-block above should lock. HOWEVER, for decent, the auto block should be moved below the belay device again, as a fall with it above is demanding the auto-block to take all the downward force associated with rappelling. The auto-block above the belay device is holding everything in a fall! When the auto-block is below the belay device, it is only keeping the break strand in a locked position and very little force is needed.

@Bilixicoast Год назад

Names are different first Prussik is a autoblock in u.s

@psychosocial50able 3 года назад

There's a lot wrong with this video. The figure 8 follow through didn't look dressed correctly, and I could be wrong since at the moment I don't have personal climbing experience, but I thought the prusik (which were also tied wrong) were supposed to go on the non-brake side of the rope.

Hi. As many people have already explained before me, and this for months, VERY BAD AND VERY DANGEROUS METHOD FOR THAT "PRUSSIK" PART you are showing here !! Your method is as good as not using a self-locking knot! Other people have ever explained the good way in the comment field. Like you should NEVER use the thigh loop to secure anything (It is absolutely not made for that), or always have your belay device away from your self-locking knot...etc About the names of the self-locking knots, in France (yes I'm French), we call the first you're showing a "Machard". It does exist a "french knot", wich is also a Self-locking knot, and it's not the same knot as the Machard ! Maybe in english there are other names, but I doubt about it ^^ Please correct your video or even delete the very bad part on the prussik which is neither more nor less than endangering the physical integrity, or worse, life, of other people !

With all due respect, your explanation of the clove hitch is somewhat inconsistent and misleading when instructing people to make a turn 'from left to right on the one side and from right to left on the other.' This is simply wrong, you turn them both in the same direction. You might as well or better say: one FORWARD and one BACKWARD. Both are either right turning or left turning! You simply flip the position of both subsequent, equally turning eyes, and there it is, the clove hitch. I'm left handed. Yours is a typically right handed person's explanation. Why, for God's sake, do you right handers never get that?
