This video discusses mechanical advantage (MA) pulley systems, covering in short detail a 3:1 MA. The 3:1 is the common foundation upon which more compound systems can be built. The addition of another prusik and another pulley allows for a 5:1 MA. Fairly quickly and easily, one can progress to a 5:1 Complex Crevasse
