Futos and Frictions
The lower body and it's versatility
Description
Instructor: Cece
Come and learn a range of frictions and how they can be used to construct usable futos and lower body ties for use in your self-tie journey. Frictions are an essential component of any rope journey as both a self-tier and a partnered rigger, allowing for structures and tension to be created.
We will be focusing on both the bent leg tie, the futomomo, and general hip and waist rope to start constructing structures usable for restraint and support both on the ground and skills to build into future explorations.
Some of the frictions that will be covered include:
- the half hitch
- munter hitch
- X friction
- half moon & full moon
- L friction and when we might use each one
This class is aimed at folks who are interested in self-tying, although techniques are certainly applicable to everyone!
No prerequisites required; knowledge of a usable single-column tie is an asset
