GENERAL APPLICATIONS
- Assistance in ascending a rope
- Process capture in hauling/dragging/tensioning System
- Back-up for belying
- Tandem rappelling
- Self-rescue in emergency
Friction Hitch Knots
- Classic hitch knots for a loop or a sling to create friction and to grip on to another rope.
- It slides when not weighted and solidly lock around the rope when loaded.
- Note: Klemheist only lock in one loading direction.
Easy Operation
- Easy to tie, "clear" to inspect, fast to adjust during operation.
- Compared to mechanical grab, Prusik loop/sling features a much lighter weight and a compact profile.
- It does almost no damage to main ropes and a variety of hitch knots could be tied from for various functions.
Versatile and Powerful
- Commonly used in climbing activities, like abseiling, vertical rope ascending in the situation of emergency, escape the belay system, back up a rappel.
- Widely applied to capture progress on a moving rope, typically in pulley mechanical systems, to be tied into lanyards and create adjustable anchors, fliplines, etc.
