Very useful and easy to understand. Cheers
Nice video and your whole channel is really informative and helpful. Good clear videos, well explained and give me ideas and pointers to use myself in the future 😊
Hey thanks! Sorry I don’t think this one is the best edited video I’ve made haha however hope the info was useful. Was very tired when filming this one so look a bit nacked in it haha
Nice. What finished size would you think is ideal, I have a 60cm Beal Jammy 5.5mm (needed something strong for work but never used it in the end) and a couple of 5mm cordlette prusiks at around 40 and 50cm, yours looks really quite long but then a 5mm will wrap tighter than a 6 or 7. Also have some 7mm tat on my chalk bag double wrapped.
Hi Matt, I normally have a long one and a short one on my harness tbh. Don’t find I go climbing without 2 these days. Short one has a length of about 40cm, and the longer 60ish? Find the longer one is good for rescues / ascending / safety lines etc. Short one is nice for abseiling and less faffy.
Defo think you can make them too short though and 40cm is my limit! Just enough for that magic 5 wraps for an abseil. If I use the longer one for an an, I’ll just pop an overhand knot in there to shorten it if need be.
Hope that helps? That’s what I have anyway, haven’t had too many issues with that.
Thoughts on the VT Prusiks?I just picked up two, 7mm and 8mm the rope I anticipate to use them on are 8mm to 10mm static.
Hi Jason, yer I think there great! The main advantage of the VT and all manufactured prusiks, over the “home made” traditional prusiks is strength. Manufactured prusiks are rated to the same standard of slings so should hold 22kn of weight compared to the climbing cord; which on average only holds 6kn.
I’m personally a fan of closed loops for my prusiks as I find they are a little quicker to tie, however this is just personal preference and something I’m a little more use too that’s all.
Overall the VT you’ve purchased will be a great work horse for you so a good buy.
This video was how to make home made prusiks however I am planning on doing a video on pre-made manufactured Prusiks in a couple of weeks so watch this space!
Don't talk about my mother like that
