How to Tie a Self Tending Blakes Hitch

I bought a prussik cord not realizing I could just friction hitch on the climbing rope

Try it with your full body weight on it. Im sure its going to give you massive forearms. If you do it regularly! Lol

You’re not showing it good enough

it’s 2024, no one’s climbing on a blake’s hitch anymore, get with the times.

I don’t know about using stopper knots to the carabiner to hold you

im going to try this tmr morning

Genius rope tying that needs no metal gear to secure it.

Nice!!! Great combo of knots and definitely something to practice and keep in the toolbox...... aka dusty corner of my mind 😅

All those years of running a taut-line hitch and never knew there was an easier way.

Thanks for sharing 💪

love that know knot november is recommending these

i love videos about knots.
But they drive me nuts.
Because i have no idea how to keep the knots in my head.

When i have learned one knot, i know how it works.
But then i try to learn another knot and somehow it overwrites the first knot.
Somehow i get into trouble trying to remember the first knot again.

Ok, sure, i can remember 3 or maybe 4 knots.
But there is like howmany? Thousands of different knots.
How to actually keep em all in your mind and how to know when to use which knot?

That video is one i would watch, even if it is 10 hours long.

This is very nice to know. You never know when you'll need this.

Would you just undo that extra bit to descend?

Never never ever or invers always tie you up directly to the loop of your harnes. Goddamned !

All those variations from the prussik knot are great to know, no hardware required.

Ingenious!

Why is it not common practice to use a figure 8 to tie into your harness?

I like to tie another Blake's on the working end instead of a sheet bend. It's easier to adjust the hitch on the fly to set your desired tension.

That's awesome!

This video it's for climbers that they don't want to spend money for new climbing equipment, 😂

I use the blakes hitch when I climb

I am ready teacher 🥷

Im new to climbing and this works but how do i not spin whin i ascend

What the hell, I was shown that but was never shown the up line part, for years I pulled the tail and slid the knot up

I magine doing that high up ....😅

I can hear my old Forman now. “ANY $5 HACK CAN HOOK UP A TREE!!!! GET TO HUMPIN BOY!!!!! He didn’t like hooks or ascenders. You used a Blake’s hitch and didn’t bitch!

bro, i just buy the gear....

When I was younger I got into rock climbing but I never could get time to travel. I now live in the woods and never thought you could do it with out spikes. Just need to get a harness without letting my wife know. I’m going to practice tying knots.

A mind not gone to waste

ur hands are always in the way... terrible tutorial..

It doesn’t have to go behind the climbing line before going through the first 2 loops?

Bad demonstration

That brings me back, I was taught to climb on the Blake's Hitch. Back before the split tail.
Wish I'd known about this self-tending trick back then!

Thank you Bino. You’re the best.

I always tied another blakes hitch above my first one ( opposite side), but yours is easier. Gonna try

A smart technology!

It works but I think a micro pulley runs a lot better and doesn't drag or catch. I climb on a hitch climber now. I used to want a zigzag but after I got a chance to play with one, I decided that I'll be sticking with a hitch based system. Glad I didn't spend 400 bucks on one

No enseñas nada tapas mucho los nudos...

Keep it up Bino. Ive been watching you since 2020. ive learned alot from you thats made me a better climber

Awesome stuff man I needed this technique 👌 thank you

I love this because i dont use Gadgets i tie all my knots

Cool

More stupid jump cuts and visual obstructions please.

Turing single rope into double rope

AMAZING! THANK YOU

Thank you bino

Thank you so much this is what I’m looking for Oml your amazing

this video has too many cuts and they don't align. It makes it very confusing to do exactly as shown. Anyone can do an approximation but why show such weird video ?

Amazing 👏 👏 👏
