Whether it's a steep cliff or a complete drop-off blocking your goal, there is gear that can help you get down it and - perhaps more importantly - back up it! 0:00 Vertical Hiking? 0:24 WARNING!!! 1:00 Harness 1:30 Rope 2:13 Ascender (Jumar) 3:17 Sling 3:56 Personal Anchor 4:34 Ascender (Ultralight) 5:36 Ascender (Prusik Loop) 6:37 Ascender / Descender (ATC-Guide Rappel Device)* 7:30 Ascender / Descender (Assisted Rappel Device ) 8:17 Descender (Figure 8 Rappel Device ) 8:30 Ascender (Capture Pulley) *ATC Guide Ascender Tutorial - https://youtu.be/pSkhzMDCKz8 ----- GEAR USED IN THIS VIDEO ----- HARNESS: Black Diamond Momentum - https://amzn.to/3pGIQt5 ROPE (Static): X-Xben/Zoutianya (UIAA Certified) - https://amzn.to/3QT2YFP SLING (240cm): Metolius Open Loop Sling - https://amzn.to/3aHlHDt ASCENDER ("Jumar") Petzl Ascension - https://amzn.to/3ivbYnO ASCENDER (Ultralight): Petzl Tibloc - https://amzn.to/3y7Nd48 PRUSIK LOOP: Sterling HollowBlock2 - https://amzn.to/3oDRYj2 RAPPEL DEVICE (Standard Belay): Black Diamond ATC-Guide - https://amzn.to/3rQWVXH RAPPEL DEVICE (Assisted Belay): Petzl Grigri+ - https://amzn.to/33l24Nx RAPPEL DEVICE: Black Diamond Super Figure 8 - https://amzn.to/3x2PVbm CAPTURE PULLEY: Petzl Micro Traxion - https://amzn.to/3Pba5qV PERSONAL ANCHOR SYSTEM: Petzl Connect Adjust - https://amzn.to/3OljWtb LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and CLICK the BELL for #camping, #hiking, #backpacking, and the #gear that goes with it!
