ClimbingTechniques.org-How to Escape a Belay Using a Prussik Knot and a Munter Mule Knot

[rozleto]

You should use munter hitch blocked with mule hitch. (munter mule). It's used because it can be untied under load. There is another a bit easier alternative to mule for blocking the munter but I can't find the english expression for it.

Tying the prussik with overhand is very common beginner's mistake. But this guy has his climbing technique page. OMG! That's terrible!

PLEASE! Don't learn climbing from internet . There is no way this would work in reality. Search for qualified people or at least books.

@rozleto

What knot would you use for the Prussik?

Dig the hat bro lol! I'd rock it! One tip from a guide...If you use a munter and mule it off on the prussik to anchor instead of the overhand you wont have to "slide" the prussik down. If that prussik gets fully weighted from a climber you won't be "sliding it down" ;)
