The climber the shifts his or her weight to the other loop and slides the first one up. This is repeated until the rope has been ascended. | |
Prusiks will work around two ropes, even two ropes of different diameters. Prusiks provide a high-strength and relatively fail-safe (i.e., they will slip before damaging the rope or breaking) attachment, and are used in some rope-rescue techniques. Prusiks are good to use in hauling systems where multiple rope-grabs may be needed, and where mechanical rope-grabs are not available. | Prusiks will work around two ropes, even two ropes of different diameters.
