  • Tying into a harness with a figure 8 follow through knot is one of the first skills every climber must learn. In this video, Miranda shows you how to tie the knot and check your work before you start up the wall. For guidance on how to put on and adjust the fit of your harness, check out our video: • How to Put on a Climbi...

    Probably the clearest instructions I've seen on TH-cam, thank you Miranda.

    Again, multiple ways to do something, but helpful. I tie a scarf around the snowman (grandma ....) and poke them in the eye.

    This is the best tutorial I've found yet on this-I learned from an instructor, & he was great, but I didn't have it down quite yet. Lol also, he said make a snowman, put a scarf on it & put a carrot in it's nose as far as starting it-I liked your killing the ghost better😂

    I have a learning disability and this video was so easy for me to learn and I finally got my figure 8

  • @myfreestylebmx1
    @myfreestylebmx1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Several questions:
    1: Why through the hard points and not the webbing loop?
    2: Whats the benefits of this method over tying a figure 8 into your rope and clipping with a carabiner?
    Also excellent video / presentation, keep up the great work!!

    • @tomsalerno1064
      @tomsalerno1064 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      1: You want to reduce wear on the belay loop because it generally isn't reinforced as much as the hard points are because it is made to be used with carabiners. Also, tying into both hard points makes it more redundant (even though it is still one strand of rope going through them).
      2: A carabiner can cross load when the rope moves around and could break in a big fall. It just has more places to fail
      When tying the figure 8 follow through and really any knot for that matter, make sure it is very tight (tighter than she made it in the video). If it is loose it is actually harder to untie after it is loaded because it loads weird. Here is a great video explaining and proving it: th-cam.com/video/QAr-uHd8h8o/w-d-xo.html

    Does it matter if the rope loop is smaller then the harness loop?

  • @drelsan
    @drelsan 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is there a standard for which hard point you run the rope through first? Bottom then top or top then bottom? or does it not matter?

    i've never seen the figure 8 taught that way. i always just taught people to twist twice. twist once for overhand knot, twice for figure 8. pretty simple

    Yeah, said before… but stopper knot is incorrect. Otherwise a great video.
    Instead of the ghost thing, I like:
    Make a guy
    Give him a tie
    Poke him in the eye
    (Since it all rhymes)

  • @masongreen5450
    @masongreen5450 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know why or how but for the life of me I cant figure out how she's making this knot. at one point I have my figure 8 is correctly tied and then the camera flips to show how she ties it into her harness and she has her figure 8 tied completely flipped and a different way. Am I the only one getting confused or is it just my lack of knowledge holding me behind? I've watched this video like 10 times now and I still don't understand why her figure 8 looks different when the camera cuts to show how to tie into the harness.

    I feel it a bit troublesome that this is filmed from the vantage point that it is. On top of that, it is filmed too fast.
    What the producers of this video should comprehend is...
    Is that most novices need to see this from the first person perspective. Like, from behind the person who is tying the Knots. It is super hard to recreate these knots by viewing the knots being done from the filmed perspective.
    Hey, ya wanna be seen in a video, cool. But if you want to help new climbers, reverse the camera position so it is not confusing. Slow down the video for new climbers and also be humble enough to not be completely seen in the video. Like, focus on the knots from the knot makers' perspective.
    There are plenty of knitting videos where they understand how to gently help new knitters learn in slow motion from a first-person view.
    Try putting yourself in a person's shoes, who is starting from scratch.
    Thanks.
