Mechanical Advantage and Hauling Systems by Smile Mountain Guides

8:1

Hmmm, with no pulleys used, these are only redirects as far as i know physics... I rebuild the "5:1" system that you showed to haul a 12kg Kettlebell at home and scaled it. had to give it around 5 kg of force. So, my question is: is there any mechanical advantage at all with all the friction? Cause it should be a lot easier to haul if it was 5:1, right?

Hi, great video! I was curious on what you were using at the anchor as a uni-directional pulley. I typically use a prusic and a tending pulley, because I am too cheap to get a micro traction or similar device. do you have a better solution to capturing rope as you haul/assist?

Thanks,

wow thanks this was really helpful!

Really solid explanation of hauling systems. Thanks!

In the final system MA is 5:1 . Am I right?

Just came across your channel. Good job on the explanation. Be safe and climb on!
