Here you will find all the basics on the harness, the revised figure 8 knot, the revised burin knot and a series of mistakes not to be made and tricks to be able to climb serenely and safely.
As explained in the video, we recommend everyone to take an appropriate course in order to learn and experience the techniques in the field.

FIGURE EIGHT 8 KNOT WITH BACKUP
The threaded eight knot or guide knot with clutch is perhaps the most used knot in climbing: create an 8 shape about 80/100 from the end of the head, insert the branch into the two loops of the harness, leaving the '8 (it doesn't matter if below or above), then "chasing" the figure 8 knot with the unloaded end. Grasp both and pull them simultaneously and together with the loop, but in different directions. Always make sure that the rope in the knot does not cross, but remains parallel. The knot must be as close as possible to the ring of the harness.
FIGURE EIGHT 8 - ADVANTAGES
The figure eight knot is definitely the easiest knot to tie, especially for novice climbers. Easily controllable visually by both the climber and his partner. It is therefore very safe, unlike the Bulino in situations where the knot continuously rubs against the rock it is practically impossible for it to open by itself. Easier to use with new or stiff strings.
FIGURE EIGHT 8 - DISADVANTAGES
The only real disadvantage of using a revised eight is the difficulty of opening it in case of a fall. In fact if you use this knot to work projects where there are many falls with hard flights, the 8 tends to pull during the fall, sometimes even reaching the point where it becomes very difficult to untie.
BOWLINE KNOT
The burin is made by passing the rope through the harness, then a loop is made through which the rope is retrieved, forming a second loop. The free (current) end is inserted into the formed buttonhole. The garment is then passed back into the harness (in the opposite direction to how it comes out of the harness itself). With the same garment we repeat the simple burin made previously to obtain a threaded knot. With the piece of rope coming out of the burin, a safety knot is made.
BOWLINE KNOT - ADVANTAGES
Normally the burin is used by climbers who prefer it because in the event of a fall it is much easier to untie. The graver absorbs more energy during the fall and therefore uses up the rope less. If you are working on a project on the crag and you think that you will make many falls, some even with rather wide flights, then the burin is the perfect knot because, since it is not going to be pulled after a fall, it does not present the risk of becoming impossible to untie because too much tight.
BOWLINE KNOT - DISADVANTAGES
The burin is more difficult to check visually than the figure 8 knot. Even an expert climber may not notice, in the double check, that the partner's burin is not made correctly, a little practice is needed. The simple burin has a proven tendency to self-dissolve, it is essential for your own safety to use the revised version!
