How unexpected ... tree surgeon (yes we also prusik, generally techniques are slightly different though) - here I am, watching a video for rock climbers and when you get to the end of the video - "We'll plant you a tree" ... Grand.

Another excellent video and a complete answer to a comment I recently made to a the video on abseilling past a knot in the rope. Many thanks.

Is there an advantage to using the classic prussik over the klemheist for the main cord? I've seen both in tutorials.

Generally it just bites a bit stronger, so if you are on wet skinny rope will need less twists. It is also multidirectional, not that it matters here.

I’m no rock climber. But as a tree climber it was 8mm minimum and up to 10mm

@emilyscloset2648 8 дней назад

A lot of climbers use 5-7mm

It seems like it would be easier to push up if both feet were in a small loop, in the larger foot loop. Is there some reason to not do that, or is it simply that your typical climber considers that unnecessary?

@TheGunz0001 10 месяцев назад

The free foot is for steady the swaying and to distance yourself from the cliff as you ascend. Otherwise as you push vertically upwards, your whole body slams horizontally into the cliff as the rope sways.

Yeah the other foot is for control

A great video for the 1970s or for total emergencies. But nowadays most of us have various light and small rope grabbing devices at our disposal.

@sam_farns_climbing 2 года назад

Hey Derek - just noticed this comment. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! It would be interesting to know the difference in proportion of people carrying specialist rope grabbing devices, and the differences between say the US, UK, and Europe. I dont see many people carrying them here... yet!

I don't think that's true. I virtually never carry a shunt but almost always have a couple of prussiks on my harness if I'm on a multi-pitch or sea cliff.
