This programme examines the use and care of ropes. Whether it's rock climbing, abseiling, caving, or military and rescue operations, using ropes correctly is a vitally important skill - sometimes literally a matter of life or death. Using expert demonstrators, Rope Skills covers: types of rope (static vs. dynamic kernmantle ropes); fall factors; care of ropes in action and storage; full demonstrations of 12 different knots; clear explanations of pulley systems for outdoor rescue. This programme is an essential reference for any outdoor education practitioner.
