awesome thanks man

Doesn't show exlanation... Useless

As a tree climber I would advise against this. Due to how much friction added to your hardware. It looks cool. But there are plenty of other safer ways do the same thing. Slightly more expensive but it’s used in the tree climbing world. Idk how our methods work on rock climbing or caving etc. I’d personally just get a rope wrench and prusik/ hitch climber combo.

Didn't see very clear how its rigged. Gave it a thumbs down; poor sound and no close up of rigging. Use at your own risk.

This is nice, but not the one I know as the constrictor knot -- this method ties the related Miller's/Bag knot. More secure than the clove hitch, but doesn't bite so fiercely as the constrictor.

Niceeeee 👍🏻👍🏻

What model is your saddle?

Excellent build. Thanks for sharing.

Well done. What is the name of your saddle. It is intended to be use for hunting, I weight 260 lbs.

Looks really cool but I’d bet the time preparing offsets the time you’d tie it on the back end. So, for me it’s “knot” worth learning.

Hi

If your over 200 lbs use a different method. It’s to hard to pull down on figure 8 to descend, its very scary!

Unfortunately we can’t see details of how you’re rigging the figure 8.

I hope you remake this video. Its great information (the parts I could hear and understand) Im going to try it. lmk if you remake it though.

I just found your video, what a great technique . it is using "canyon auto lock" which searchable in google (if others don't know). Need a little emphasize that before pull down the end of figure 8 to descend/unlock, DON'T FORGET to hold the brake rope with other hand (a friction hitch works best as backup, but figure-8 position need to be extended a little higher avoiding jam). I am coming back to rope ascending after 20years off, so using figure 8 is as easy as i ever know.. the auto lock figure 8, makes it work like a grigri, but again DON'T FORGET to hold brake line (to control your descend) before unlock it.. Again, what a great technique !!

Great how you dont explain how to make it. Making your video worthless goodbye

OK, but I still prefer prusik knots to take me up.

this looked like a magic trick never seen a bowline tied around something so quick

Could you add a close up of the rope , figure 8, and carabiner orientation for clarity?

That dang wind.

You can arrange the ropes for both knots without wrapping the rope around whatever it is you want to bundle so that all you have to do is slip the knot OVER the items you want to bundle (fishing rods, corn stalks, sticks, boards, or whatever). For some applications, this can be more convenient. Tie each one loosely around something, slide them off whatever you tied them around and you can see how they need to be arranged. Good demonstration to show the differences.

There was so much wind noise I couldn't hear a lot of what he said.

Thanks! I have 12mm and 13mm ropes that won't fit into the grigri/ATC or other devices for ascend. This method help to advance the belay loop up. 👍👍

That was a great help, not

Then do you hook the carabiner to the climbing hitch carabiner?

Just got my ascender and 8 today and I can’t wait to try this. I’m new to this and haven’t gotten myself a GriGri (yet) and this is the exact method I’ve been searching for. Thanks !🤘🏼🤘🏼

Only thing that REALLY sucks about this video is I can’t see where that carabiner clipped in.

this works better with a rescue 8 because you can girth hitch a sling inbetween one of the wings so its impossible to invert and spill because that could happen clove hitch into the rope

I saw your short and thought you were bleeding - lol good info , thanks

Thank you very much for the last part advising against this technique with a redirect. Shot my plan to hell, but saved learning the hard way.

First the Prusik,

Needs to be refilmed

Worked for a second then flipped up releasing the rope

Good video but couldn’t hear what you wear saying!

Doesn't work for me. As i pull for the second or third time, my figure 8 goes vertical, therefore the rope passes by itself on the big loop of the figure 8. I use a 10mm rope.

Great video brother thanks

This strikes me as extremely dangerous without a backup anchor because the rope could slip around the small figure 8 loop. This video really should be deleted if this dangerous fact is not highlighted in conjunction with stressing the need for a backup connection to the rope.

*Very light but sturdy ascender that anyone can afford✡✡>**allmy.tips/ClimbingAscender?110** I hung a foot loop through the large bottom hole of mine to get a leg up and save energy. I'm using it with 12mm rope and don't have any issues at all with it slipping or damaging rope. Don't trust it as your primary life support, but I definitely keep mine on the line as a handhold in case things go south. I wish this company would make a copy of the two-handed petzl butterfly-shaped ascender!*

*I bought some professional static climbing rope for safe traversal of a steep two story roof and needed an ascender.✡✡>**allmy.tips/ClimbingAscender?39** The top line domestic offerings were pricey and I only need for occasional use so this fit the bill. Don't know how it would hold up for a true climber but I see no issue with the overall quality for a reasonable price. Thanks China!*

Great demo..simple..clear..to the point..thank you

What size rope are you using there?

Ive been looking for this and i found it.

good vid.... but i need a close up shot of the rope within the device... couldnt really see what you did.

My climber has become so much easier once I eliminated everything that made my climbing easier.

i really like this, I had been using a friction knot to my harness and foot pinching to ascend. it worked fine but i was not anchored to my main line to harness directly. your method alows me to ascend using my legs and still be secured to my static mainline instead of a secondary libe with a friction knot.

i just want to say wow.. !

I always wondered how this stuff works, ty for easy explanation.

Ocho a la italiana...

rope is on gate side. bad for screw lock types.

Hideous audio!!
