  • sorry, but instead of telling where to go learn it, you should have done that yourself. What you are showing us is completly inefficient.

  • lol looks like someone needs to show him first:P,

  • guys a bellend...

  • This works as prussik but than a bit faster|?

  • This is the worst demonstration of acension ever. 1:10 "this is a timely task" maybe cause your a fucking joke. Buy a dam harness designed for ascending ropes, buy a damn Croll and chest harness for it and set up a Frog System. You'll get up there in a third of the time. Oh and 3 points of contact? If you knew anything about rope access you'd know that a mechanical ascender with teeth, only counts as a .5 point of connection. There's my mini rant

  • There are easier than this!

    only need

    1 ascender , canot prussik or Jumar or TIBLOC

    1 self-locking plate GIGI KONG or Petzl autostop, grigri, ID etc

    and ready

  • I dont usually comment on Youtube but this is just sad.

    Is this supposed to be an example of what not to do? What a joke. 

  • for some reason i really enjoy finding videos i get to click the dislike button on...

  • Or you could footlock with a long prussic? xD Cheaper, quicker, and you can come down easier. Also he really should've had a stopper knot in the end of that line..

  • This is not a good way to ascend a rope. Please don't post videos that demonstrate improper or inefficient techniques just to promote your gym.

  • remove this video please

  • that least that looked safe. but you are right that would take foreverand a day.
