Introduction to Climbing gear, ropes and knots for tree work
What happens here
Stanley demonstrates how to rappel (descend) using the Blake's Hitch. To descend, he applies pressure by squeezing the knot and allowing it to slide down the rope in controlled increments. He practices this movement, showing both careful, slow 'baby steps' and a more fluid, professional descent. Keith highlights the difference between these two approaches, emphasizing that both methods are valid but precision and control are paramount.
Goal: Learn to safely descend the tree using the Blake's Hitch.
Tools and materials
- Climbing Harness — Supporting the climber during descent
- Lifeline — The main rope used to support the climber for descent
