Prevents the climber holding their weight because they don't need to advance the hitch.
This system can be used on a Prusik, Blake's hitch and Tautline hitch.

I’m 57 and have been a high production climber for 34 years I’m amazed with what they have now I wish it was around years ago I was a tauntline hitch guy most of career when guys use to show up with all these bells and whistles And shiny gadgets we’d laugh them out , I use to tell them by the time you get all set up I’m tied off up the tree and trimmed half of the tree already, but as I’ve matured I love all the bells and whistles now. Be safe.....

Wtf, why the hell didn't i know this sooner, i had a micropulley knocking about in the bottom of my kit for 5 years, all this time i been sweating it out with just a prussik!! Nice one, life changer
-
this is the climbing system I have been looking for.. with the most minimal use of hardware other than the most necessary pulleys and carabiners besides the ropes.. tqvm admin...

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make this. It's always interesting to see different prussik set ups.
-
Awesome work as usual. Our apprentice just started climbing on English Prussik I'll be sure to pass this along. Cheers!
-
Great way to work a looped system without hundreds of dollars of gear, show them some old school techniques, Thanks for sharing!

I see other people saying a lot of others wont know what your talking about and only some will. I understood completely and honestly if anyone didnt understand any of this video, especially the terminology, you have no reason to even watch and or comment on it.

Gotta say thanks for this one mate. I use it whenever Im not using the zigzag. stroke of genius!
-
Great idea... you're a genius! This is now a standard part of my climbing system.
-
I just tried it. And now thank you for making my life less complicated!! 👌👌

Climbing 12 years and always done it the basic way. My micro pulley arrived today going to test it out on some pines tomorrow 👍
-
For me this technique is amazing for climbing palm trees. Thanks

❤ Minnesota bound.... Finally in my neck of the woods. 😊

I've never thought of doing it this way with a friction hitch. Thanks for sharing Will definitely be giving this a try
-
Thanks for this video have been using this method for 4 months, love it
-
If you're using a Blake's hitch instead of a prusik, you can achieve the same effect by making the tail of your Blake's hitch long enough to tie a second Blake's hitch on the other rope a few inches up.

Great video, thank you. To the people that don’t understand what is going on in this video perhaps go and watch some more basic videos on how climbing systems work, then come back?
-
I was doing this today without a micro pulley and was getting super tired. thank you so much for this video.
-
great idea man, because not all my ropes have a tight eye on the end so I use the blakes hitch/clove setup sometimes in place of the hitch climber, this seems simple and clean, thanks for the vid
