Great info. I really appreciate how you take your time showing things and explaining steps. On other channels I'm always having to pause to look at setups and rewind to hear things again. Great job man, 👍
You're so very welcome! My style is definitely a bit slower, but I also feel as though I explain things more thoroughly as well! Be sure to check out some of my newer videos as this video is old an I have become even better at YouTubing at this point! Thanks again for your comment! =-D
I am watching more of your videos and they are very interesting. I am just getting into climbing and repailing out of a tree to start. The video is very informative. Thank you buddy
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback! Only a small number of viewers actually leave comments, so please don't be shy and share anything that comes to mind while watching my content! I value what my viewers have to say!
3:42 In this setup what is the actual purpose/advantage of the pulley, since to push the hitch it seems you can use anything with same effect: a carabiner, a piece of wire, or just tie the prussic directly to the hitch?
The point is to make use of a piece of hardware that a) doesn't generate a lot of friction when gliding up or down a rope in that fashion, b) which has a small opening for the climbing hitch to get blocked in and c) which is easily removed from the system mid-climb to allow for a descent. A carabiner would create too large of an opening, a piece of wire would be outright dangerous/difficult to remove, and give your last idea a try sometime...it'll generate a ton of friction and the paracord is liable to break after only a few hip thrusts and you might even damage your rope. Great question. Thanks for your comment. You could feasibly use a carabiner. Perhaps an oval shape biner.
I made the equivalent of a shizll ropeslider. But a cheap pulley is best. Neither a rope wrench, nor a tending pulley are needed for staying alive, but they help massively. Imo.
Industry standards are to tie a anchor knot then Blake's with stopper knot .anchor hitch is sinching ...and points out toward wherr the Blake's is tied ..used to be mandatory
That's very interesting. I have seen both an Anchor hitch and a Clove hitch used by various professional climbers. If I remember correctly, I demonstrated this setup with a Clove in this video. It may be less ideal than an Anchor hitch, however, I don't believe that using a Clove hitch instead would put a climber in any danger. The Clove also allows for easier adjustment of the strand leading to the Blake's hitch if necessary. I do agree that an Anchor hitch is likely more secure overall. Thank you for commenting!

Thanks, I was wondering if in some positions it is advantageous to pull the rope sideways.
No, it's better just to pull downwards. Less friction in the system that way.

This is torture
Haha, watch some of my newer videos. They're MUCH better. This was one of my very first videos, back when I started YouTubing.
