Question: What are your thoughts on a bowline on a bight or Alpine butterfly rather than using this French Prusik? Would those be much stronger if you had a harder pull on the rope but you’re just sacrificing the ability to reset the system? I was just wondering at what point the prusik you demonstrated would slip or fail and what the limitations of it would be. Thanks for all your content and thoughtfulness!
Old video.... I have a 10 mm prusik and fiddle block rigging system. I used it with 3 strand rope and it slipped some at a certain tension. What thickness and braid type rope should I use?
I am a heavy guy, when I descend down my rope higher then 20ft my shwabisch binds up and will not run. It gets really tight and I have to do a couple of hip thrusts to manually loosen it. Do you have any suggestions to prevent it from getting so tight it will not run down the rope? 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
Any particular reason you attach this way for mechanical advantage? PROs vs CONs against other methods of attaching? Btw I did smash the thumbs up button :)
I tried this method and if you use the mechanical advantage to its max... You can tie the pull rope off and then reset the mechanical advantage to pull more

So, it deforms into a VT(valdotain tresse)?

Rope size for your eye to eye? Just looking at it I am guessing 8mm, but for your applications I may think 10mm.
Did you say Beaner?
