This is Part 2 of this series and I will show you how to tie a Prusik Knot, Schwabisch Hitch, and Distel Hitch, and show you how to ascend using a friction hitch with, and without, a Prusik Tender.

In this mini series I will discuss the 3 types of ascenders, and how to use each type. The series will include:

Part 1: "Freedom of Choice"
I will explain what an ascender does, tell you the 3 types of ascenders used by saddle hunters, and how to rig and use each type.

Part 2: "Friction Hitches"
I will demonstrate in detail and in real time how to tie, install, and ascend with the 3 most common rope type friction hitches used by saddle hunters.

Part 3: "One Way Ascenders"
I will demonstrate in detail and in real time how to install and ascend with one way ascenders such as the the Kong Duck and Ropeman 1.

Part 4: "Two Way Ascenders/Descenders"
