Beginners climbing guide, hints, tips and general climbing techniques

[Adam Bourne]

Hi Adam , a picture would be great , thank U, Hello Dog Tag I'm Living in Dublin 24.

 

Here we go mate, a normal Blakes hitch with an added pulley for better slack tending, .

 

.

 

Then this is for picture purpose only as using a bina on your friction saver is not very practical neither safe but just to illustrate how a pulley can be added and take out at least 50% of the friction in your system. .

I was mate but not in that case as, as Drew said, the stitching will do the job. Just thought that if someone new to climbing recreated the picture they might not be as vigilant. Thought it worth pointing out!! Not picking! Ha ha.

[Adam Bourne]

Good thought mate just wondered as I was going to point out also but super drew stole the show....

Do you use those walking poles when walking round the local park?

No worries mate. Just didn't want it to go unmentioned. A lot of the time I look at pictures first and not the writing! ! Ha ha!
