Thanks! I was wondering exactly that the other day, I was kind arrived to the same solutions but I would probably have messed something up haha, and the fact that you can just pass the knot through the munter is super cool !

Is there a way to do this without your life depending only on the prusik?
@jacobmcgonigle92299 ай бұрын
You have the clove hitch as backup if the prusik fails

there s no reason it could fail

@@felixbub144 dont say that. There is a reason we have redundancies. maybe the prussik in principle is bomber. but a beginner may not wrap enough, tie it wrong, cord could be damaged.... most cases redundancies protect against user error not gear error.

@@AndrewHavranek-gt4zi rope ist t redundant einher. If the Cord geht s damaged the rope we ll most likely be too. If the hitch starts to slip you end up 5 cm bellow on the knot you were trying to pass

@@AndrewHavranek-gt4zi you do also weight it before unclipping your rappel device/ backup so you def checked it s function before

Useful information, but perhaps would be better if you made a video for the 99% of situations where climbers are rappelling on two strands.

Rappelling past a knot on 2 strands is explained in the full online course.

Why is that different than the atc case? A prussic above should grab two stands just fine

Passing a knot is much more common when rappelling fixed lines, so the more frequent scenario will be a single rope rappel as shown

You seem to use a " machard" knot, not a "prusik" ?
@vdiffclimbing9 ай бұрын
There are many different terms for 'prusiks'. To clear things up: The French prusik (also known as the 'Auto-block') is the only prusik (also known as 'friction hitch') this video. The Machard knot (also known as the 'Klemheist') is not used in this video. You could use the Machard knot if you want, but it's near impossible to release when you're weighting it. The French prusik is significantly easier to release in this situation.
