Does it serve to climb?

I'd be worried that my balls would get crushed upwards and pop out the tip of my dick and then fall out my pant legs onto the ground, does this hurt the balls ?

@eriktrudelle Your life isn't on the square, it hardly bears any load and is more than adequate. I've jumped out of helicopters with nothing more than a swiss seat tied just like you see in this video, never had a problem (other than it is uncomfortable as hell). Remember this, if it's comfortable standing, it will suck under load. It should be uncomfortably tight while standing, and then it will feel fine under load.

@eriktrudelle A square knot is a perfectly capable knot. It will work with a double fish, a water knot, take your pick, but simple as it is the square is a stong, self-locking knot. Take a short section of rope, tie the ends in a square knot and try to pull it apart, you'll see that putting pressure on both load strands just tightens the knot.
