UPDATE:
I have released a new video on how to changeover from ascent to descent. I discuss a something that could have been done better in this one.
We learned how to descend or rappel down a rope. However in the rope access industry it is essential that you know how to climb up a rope
Let's talk rope access descenders and specifically how to use a rope access descender. In this video I will be demoing with the Petzl I'd
Now that we have seen what rope access gear we need, it is time we start building our rope access kit. In this video you will learn how to build your kit out
In this video you will learn how to tie a barrelknot also known as a scaffold knot. The know we use to tie carabiners to our cowstails
In the last video we learnt to tie the figure of eight on a bight or double figure of eight. If we want to tie our cowstails directly to out harness, the we need to make a rethreaded figure of eight
Today we get into some of the most used rope access knots. We start of with the basic double figure of eight knot, or the figure of eight on a bight.
In this video we take a look at the rope access helmet. A rope access helmet has a few features a regular standard site helmet has not.
In this video on The Rope Access Channel, we take a look at carabiners. The connectors that tie all the rope access gear together. We talk about the two main types and materials used in carabiners. Then we dive into all the different closing mechanisms.
In the rope access industry we use two types of rope access ropes. Semi-static and a dynamic. In this post I explain the different uses in the industry
