Introduction to uplines

Introduction to uplines (2,5 hours) with Pauline Massimo

When buying a ticket for this class you will have access to the live class and class recording.

What you will learn:

• Generic introductory information about materials and hardpoints.

• Overview of different materials for suspension (ring/carabiner, bamboo).

• Safety keys to minimizing accidents and damages to everyone involved.

• Overview of commonly used attachments on harnesses and ties (anchoring).

• Step by step of different uplines on different materials for various purposes.

• Tip & tricks exercise for uplines rope handling.

• Tips & tricks of how to manage leftover ropes efficiently.

Requisites:

• We believe that anyone above total beginners level could start to play with uplines in a safer as possible way, and we do recommend everyone taking this class to be mindful about their own levels, skills and limitations to not suspend bodies right away but after mastering the technique and having a proper instructor and/or a skilled experienced person to spot and help you if needed.

• You will need your own ropes, safety cutting tools, and if practising the uplines you must have access to some well-done proper hardpoint and material for suspension (bamboo, carabiner or ring).

• You might need at minimum 2 natural ropes (jute or hemp) for practising your uplines at the same time. We do recommend more ropes if you want to include practising them in different harnesses on a person/self. • We highly encourage first starting practising and learning the uplines on inanimate objects, such as water bottles, boxes, books, etc. that are not excessively heavy or have a high risk of damaging you while doing the uplines and fall at some point.

More info:

• This class about uplines will be taught rated with no model/bottom during the demos but with inanimate objects and on self-ties. The final knowledge intent of this class is to be able to apply uplines tying someone else or oneself (self-tying).

• Taxes are already included in the price of the tickets.
