One Figure 8. Multiple ways to use it. ♾️

Different rope configurations can change the friction and handling:

• Rapid
• Croisé
• Normal
• Normal Vertaco
• Tête d’alouette Vertaco

Same descender. Different friction. Different control.

⚠️ Educational demonstration only. Always use techniques appropriate to your device, rope and situation, and follow proper training.

Which one do you use most?

@n1ok86 the heat is distributed along the whole rope, not an isolated spot. there's also low forces (~1kn) and both areas of the rope move at the same time so its not an issue

I thought u dont want the rope sliding against itself as it can melt the nylon?
