This video shows how to set up a 3:1 and 5:1 haul system for climbing and also explains the physics behind the systems. This can be used for single pitch and multipitch climbing. #hauling #climbing #amga
Great presentation, good explanation of the "T" method. One side note. You are not going to haul dead bodies with GriGri and Carabiners. The friction will kill you. The latest research is over a 90 degree edge, there is no mechanical advantage at all. This is for helping people climb not hauling them.
This worked really well! I was able to haul my dad up the wall who weighs like 185 pounds pretty easily with the 5 to 1 system. Great that it uses stuff you usually already have on your harness.
Great video, started climbing outside several times, really a lot of fun. will bookmark this first, once I am capable to belay from top, this should be super useful.
Thanks for the video! For a 5-1, could you also simply re-direct the brake strand through a pulley that is attached to the anchor, so you also pull down instead of up?
Ok. If I have a microtraxion or other pulley on my harness, and want to make the 5:1 better. Should it be on the first stage with the brake strand through it, or the second stage with the cordlette through it? Obviously either one will work. I’m just curious if the system will improve with less friction on the part with low force and high travel or higher force and less travel.
The atc guide will add extra friction so it would be advisable to transition off that via mmo to a new 3:1 system… I think I show that in another video called “getting to baseline”… or something like that.
You can do a 3:1 in atc guide mode but will be overcoming significant friction… I have another video where I go to “baseline” and from there you can do any haul
