Prussiking involves climbing up a rope using clamping devices to prevent you from sliding back down. According to Race Director, Craig Bycroft - all teams are strongly advised to practise. When Craig uses the words strongly advised - followed shortly after by -
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Only people with a desire to endure extreme pain or who suffer from some form of brain damage would ignore it!
So with that in mind and the simple fact that we don't like to suffer. Carey and I organised a Team training day to teach Tim, Joe and Kolya how to prussik. The photos below tell the story.
A great day out with the Team - dialled in and ready to go.
Bring it on Craig!
