All these comments asking for a longer video about which diameter cord to use and when to use which hitches for particular situations, and I’m just grateful for a sub-5 minute video showing all these so clearly.

In switzerland the prusik is the standard rappel backup. Under the loads encountered in this situation its easy to release under load. That said im swiss and still prefer the autoblock. Faster and easier to tie and you dont have to take the cord out of the crab to tie so you cant drop it.

Could one use the klemeist as a makeshift Jumar (with a sling)? Basically, would it support my weight if i was stuck on a rope solo and needed to lift my weight off the microtraxion?
@benschuster9792

I've used a kleimheist tied with a sling as a jumar before to ascend a rope. Just tie it and step into the sling to go up then take up the slack with a belay plate in guide mode or with a grigri then repeat. Also tie knots in the rope periodically so you don't rely entirely on the belay plate/grigri

Thx for the very informativ video. Question: What kind of cordolette (differences) do you use for the three hitches (Dimensions and length). Thx in advance.
@Iithuanianboy
5 жыл бұрын
Hitch chords need to be at least 2mm less in diameter than the rope you're tying it to. so for an 11mm rope you would need at a minimum a 9mm diameter hitch chord. Length depends on the knot you're tying and intended use of the chord.

Whats the difference between the klemheist and the autoblock? It seems like there is just less wraps and not passing the bite through the bottom loop.

In auto you clip both loop ends to your carabiner, in Klem you pass one loop through the load-side loop and then attach that free single loop to your carabiner. Auto catches in either direction, Klem only catches in one direction.

They are functional hitches but not the best you can use, look at the veldostein tress and distel hitches. You’ll need an eye to eye cord but they are as smooth as butter.

mis named cord configurations are the bane of learning or teaching the ropes. An "auto bloc" is an application and NOT a specific Hitch name. The Kleimheist or "French Machard" is commonly used as an "auto bloc" or "third hand" but is only one of many HITCH es used .There are many types of "Prussiks" and none of them are KNOTS, they are HITCHES. Just as the nick name of "fisherman" is actually a double overhand BEND, A prussic is a HITCH made from cord usually, the cord loop is not a Prussic but is often used to construct one. Don't even get me started on the whole SLING / RUNNER thing. learn the correct terms please.
