Perhaps I'm not the only one who is confused about it? http://ozultimate.com/canyoning/knots/french_prusik/ this is what I tie using bee line with spliced eyes and what I see in the photo from Dan of Mark's set up above his hand ascender. |
That one is what I've always seen called an "autoblock." To add to the confusion, my web site has a cut and paste error.

I duplicated the Frenck Prusik page to get the layout for the autoblock page, and then changed everything except the page title. OOPS! Gotta fixit...hope I'm knot tablame ferthissun
