Tying the Hedden Knot and Hand Ascender

Knot tying demonstration of the Hedden Knot, a Friction Hitch, constructed with a Prusik Loop, similar to the Prusik Knot, Klemheist , Autoblock and the Bachman. In conjunction with the use of a Bull Hitch and a Longhorn Hitch, a reliable (non-mechanical) hand ascender (rope grab) can be formed. It is particularly useful as a backup for a mechanical ascender. https://jrbtreeclimbing.com/ https://www.apecanyon.com/ Use JRB15 coupon code for 15% off! https://www.rocknarbor.com/ Use JRB10 coupon code for 10% off!   / jrbtree   (Facebook Private Group)   / jrbtreeclimbing   (Facebook Public Page)   / jrbtreeclimbing   (Patreon support is appreciated) DISCLAIMER: Viewers assume responsibility for their own safety.
