The tautline hitch is a basic friction hitch that can be used either in an open or closed climbing system. This video highlights the tautline hitch and some of the critical facts climbers should know and understand about using a tautline safely and effectively in a climbing system. You'll also learn why the tautline is backed up with a figure-8 knot.
Very clear instruction,good video.

FYI: only used for descent, not a great hitch for ascending, it's tough or does not ascend at all
