15 Knots You Need to Big Wall

Big Wall Bible #7 of 14 - http://www.bigwalls.com It's "knot" that hard to learn how to twist your rope in all the ways you need to go up a wall. This ties together a foundation for the next chapters so we can just show you what to do without getting stuck on knot basics. Knots are actually quite easy though. There are about 5 families of knots you will use and honestly only 3 would get you by. Hitches are nothing unless you have something in them and there are only 3 of those you need to know. Friction hitches let you bite a rope with a smaller rope and they are a handy and lightweight tool to have. We also cover anchor concepts so you know what to aim for when building anchors. ***Note: At 11 minutes it is a Smith Lock Backup, not a Scott's Lock Backup on the bowline This specific chapter is at https://www.hownot2.com/post/bigwalls-knots 👉 Learn and SHOP at https://www.hownot2.com/shop 👉 Best EMAILS on Earth: https://www.hownot2.com/signup 👉 SUPPORT US and get gear discounts https://hownot2.com/support 👉 10% off ROCKY TALKIE by clicking https://www.hownot2.com/rocky Intro 05:38 Overhands 07:34 Figure of 8s 10:12 Bowlines 14:38 Double overhands 16:48 Alpine Butterfly 21:52 Clove hitch 23:04 Munter hitch 26:01 Girth hitch 27:00 Anchor concepts 32:05 Munter Mule Overhand 33:37 Barber pole knot 36:33 Friction Hitches 39:25 VT Prusik
