V.t with hitchclimber. Currently running 11mm blaze with 8mm roblon friction cord. Got the length absolutely perfect. It never fails.

 

I agree though, climb all manner of trees before switching techniques.

with a prissik try adding a micro pully to act as a slacktender to help u to get a better feel when it comes to changeing to a hitch climbing setup.

 

never for get the prissik because the day u drop a bollok.that will be the one that will get u out of trouble.

climb safe and have fun.

Ignoring the fact you could use the 3 knot system in an emergency, a usuable prussik can be made from a boot lace so 2 can be used to decend a rope.

I was just wandering how everyone climbs? i don't know any other way than using a prussik. I know the hitch climber is now very popular and seems a good system to climb with. I just don't want to be stuck prussiking all my life lol!

There's nothing wrong with prussiking all your life, but you really need to get someone to show you how to tie, dress and set more advanced climbing hitches before you try them out at height.

 

been using the swabisch now on both main climbing line and flipline/lanyard for about 6 years, before that it was the blakes for about 6 years then before that the prussik for about 2. Still use the Blakes and Prussik occasionally.

In an emergency, a klemheist is quicker and easier to tie. Sorry. Haha.

 

The prussik knot is only more usefull if it is to go both ways.
