Practice and Evaluation on climbing knots, roping up and prusiking.
This is an alternative activity for students unable to attend the same Field trip the following week.
For prusiking: You will be required to demonstrate the ability to ascend the rope, but you aren't required to use the pre-made foot prusiks for this. You can use whatever combination of prusiks/slings that work for you.
