Climbing Tools: Demo ascending with prussik and garda Hitch

[TheDerekTomes]

Thanks. I saw from the other video how you tied the prusik but what knot are you doing with the main (11mm) rope at the anchor point?

Awesome! Thank you for the videos, very instructional.

Im trying this on 11mm static rope and when I take the step up, the biners fall apart and get all crazy, makeing the line really hard to pull tight. pointers?

11 mils is a big rope but my real guess is that the static rope is just to stiff to be practical. Try the same moves with say a 10.5 dynamic and see if you get diffrent results.

@pasto76 Try again with climbing ropes I bet you get a diffrent result.

@pasto76 I've read that the prusik should to be on line half the size of your main line. I've had luck with 6 and 7 mil though.

i use this for tree climbing,

its a brilliantly easy way to climb with minimal effort

It would have helped to see a close up of the set-up.

There are other videos on this channel that show how to do the set-up in detail.
