cheers guys, like i said old snake is gona splice me a pruss but i cant find any other vids showing otherways of tying them

what you need is a really good online knot guide showing all the friction hitched in easy to follow, step by step pictures...perhaps in a slideshow format, that'd be cool

[john dawson]

i can only suggest animatedknots.com.

 

by the way, its a swabian prussik (ref. treeclimbers knot book, D Lingens, 2006)

[not for sale sorry]

[Mozza]

You've tied that prussik wrong Phil

[Mark Bolam]

Mine.

 

Remember the VT varies a lot re wraps and braids Phil.

 

We can have a low-level clamber about next time I see you till you get it set right.

 

£50/hour OK?

plippy,,, the krab that has the spliced eye on needs to clip onto the middle ring of the plate rather than the top one,, this will keep it away from the hitch and help avoid the splice holding the hitch down and you falling a bit,..

 

that make sense?
