I enjoy these REI videos as learning devices, but, and it’s not just this video w/Miranda, it is every REI climbing knot video I have watched. It moves a little too fast and the camera angles are too panned out so the viewer can’t really see what is going on with the rope. Most importantly though, all these videos seem to glance over one key step that is required to make the knot work. This isn’t a complaint so much as it is a critique to help make better videos for the viewer. I find myself with REI videos constantly replaying and then, having that “ah ha” moment when I figure out the step they glanced over that is vital for the knot to work. Maybe slow down and have visual graphics on screen of a rope and what is taking place. Just some thoughts from a long time viewer and rock climber.

I disagree, I thought the explanations and footage were very clear. Knots just take practice and if anyone would prefer that to be at snail's pace then just go to settings and play the video at half or quarter speed.

During the double fisherman’s, at 3:00, she flips the whole string around. This is important - it allows you to tie the 2nd knot in the same direction as the first knot. If you don’t flip the entire rope around you need to tie the 2nd knot in the opposite direction from the first. For me, it is helpful if these subtleties are expressly called out - it just helps me learn better. These videos are very helpful, thank you Miranda and REI for putting them together. I am just adding a note to help others, like me who might benefit from calling out all the steps explicitly.

For me it would have been very useful if you guys gave a more precise explanation, maybe even a short example video of when to use the given knot. I am new to climbing outside so just saying a few words about when to use it does not really help me. Obviously, I can google all these but it would have been a nice resource if it was here, all together. I feel like you have to already have some knowledge about climbing in order to fully utilise this video. And people, who are looking for these videos are usually absolute beginners, like I am, so I don't know for example , what it means to "tie into the middle of the rope" or when climbers do this.

It depends how the knot will be loaded. If you tie a figure eight on a bight knowing it will only be loaded in one direction - on its major axis - there is nothing wrong with it. If there is a chance the knot will be loaded in two directions a butterfly will be a better choice.

There's a great video by David Bristol called 'Rigging For Caving - Natural Anchors' where he demonstrates the techniques and equipment necessary for anchoring to a tree. I believe it's called a BFT anchor. It's basically a rope pad around the trunk of the tree, a couple of wraps around the pad, and a butterfly knot secured to a carabineer on the tail of the rope. He goes into further detail on backup knots and redundancy in the system as well. Hope this helps!

Which knot is used for ascending and descending from a tree? Brand new to tree climbing and always have it set up by an experienced climber. The one I'm talking about is pushed up as you climb and will hold if you fall, and you pull down from the top of it to slide down the tree.

Did you ever buy a rope? What did you end up with? I read the comments here and I always cringe when people say the words "never" or "only". If you haven't done it yet, I still encourage you. I've personally been climbing, training and running rope rescues for Saint Louis County Rescue Squad, and teaching a low angle rescue course for years. I would certainly ask in person and get some training, maybe through a local climbing gym if you are really unsure, but any name brand, rated rope should work. Static is stronger, but dynamic is also used for rappelling. How else do climbers get back down most of the time?... You can also climb on static. It's doesn't stretch as much as dynamic so it's not safe to lead climb (trad or sport), but you can certainly use if for top roping or redirected top roping. It's what most camps and organizations use because it's stronger, lasts longer, can be purchased by the foot, and they are generally top roping. 10 or 10.5 is common for rappelling. I purchased my first at a climbing store. I bought 70' which was perfect for starting out. 10.5 is rated to about 7600 lbs. In rescue we shoot for a 15:1 safety rating but 12:1 is perfectly acceptable. If you are 200 lbs then you only "need" a 3,000 lb rated rope and a 10.5 would give you 2.5 times that. So, where the safety comes in is less with the actual rope and much more with the anchor selection and setup, padding the edge, and actually using the equipment as designed. You can check out this video I made for some basic explanations and encouragement: kzitem.info/news/bejne/s4yl4JlngqKViX4
