This workshop is for those of you that already started a bit on your rope journey, but also for you who want to develop further.
We will work with the techniques for building solid structures and you will be presented for different versions of ties so that they are applicable for the different models taking into account any limitations there may be. Ties will be applicable to be used together or separately in a suspension.
I will make suggestions for safe locks on uplines and show my favorites.
The workshop will include ties for the upper and lower body, legs and whole body, so we get all the way around. This will give you an opportunity to find your favorite ties that you will be able to pull out of the toolbox at any time and use in a tying session.
Risk of nerve damage will be mentioned for the various ties.
You will also get to know GanRaptor’s very specific 4 rope technique.
Suggestions for simple transitions will be given.
The workshop is based on technique and will give you a good and safe basic for further development in rope.
