Transcript for How to Adjust Your Ropes

Jared Shaffer: To adjust your lineman’s rope, use your off hand to hold the knot and loosen it a little bit. And you’re simply going to slide it up the rope, and then as you apply your weight, it will automatically bite in and hold. To loosen it, put your hand on the top of the knot and simply pull down a little bit, and you can slide it down the rope until your weight locks it down.

To adjust your tether, use your off hand to grab the knot. Slide it up the rope, and then when you apply weight, it will automatically grab the rope. To loosen it, you can grab the knot just like this, and it will slide. And as soon as you let off your hand, it will grab and bite the rope.
