Ascending the rope
8a. Precautions
A foreign body can lodge
between one of the cams and
the rope and cause a fall. To
avoid rope slippage:
- Solution 1. Attach the ropes
together at the base of the
tree.
- Solution 2. Make a knot
at the anchor to block one
of the strands of rope (see
drawing). You can then back
yourself up with a friction
hitch on the blocked strand
(above the ASCENTREE).
