Friction is a valuable factor in rigging; we are either using it to our advantage to lower something, or we are trying to overcome it  when hauling.  We use some applied physics to shed some light on this topic.

The way we address knots, MAs (Mechanical Advantages), and Anchors in these videos are more general and with a focus of the finer points that are many times overlooked. Our hopes are that the viewer walks away with an energized commitment to studying the “WHY” behind general rigging, and focus on an extremely clean approach and a dedication to practice and muscle memory. We will explore the finer points of these topics that are applicable to anyone who is called upon to rig.

Commitment to rigging as an art form is the true storyline.
