Climbing techniques – Prusiking up a rope

Climbing Techniques | Gareth Hanson | January 20, 2011 4:06 pm

Another great instructional video from MLTUK. This video is taken from the Self Rescue for Climbers DVD by Steve Long, it demonstrates how to ascend a rope using a prusik (well 2 actually).

Watching videos or reading climbing techniques is not a substitute for proper instruction. Climbing can be a dangerous activity. We would always recommend that you seek out professional instruction before attempting any of the techniques that we demonstrate.

It's good to share!
