Blakes Hitch & Prussik Loops

[Yorkshire Brummie]

Hi Guys,

I am still climbing on a Blakes Hitch and using Prussiks on my strops as I was taught 10 years or so ago. Should I be looking to use something else? Am I making life harder than it needs to be? Not to sure about these mechanical grabs, spider jacks etc. Cheers in advance Guys

I've been climbing a couple of years mate on a blakes and just bought a lockjack yesterday , really like it, it's going to take a bit of getting used to hand over hand climbing and the descents are fun ! Tried it with a foot pantin and its effortless climbing IMO.

Looking forward to the next climb !

Try a hitch climber and use the knutt 👍

Get a micrograb on ur sidestrop to start! Makes a massive difference!
