Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down
Welcome to the world of rope! Trixie LaPointe will lead you through all you need to get rolling on your rope journey. After an in depth chat about rope safety and precautions, we will dive into getting all bound up. By the end of the night you will know a proper single column tie, a double column tie, munter hitches, reverse tensions, hojo cuffs, how to add rope and how to store your rope. There will be lots of hands on help to make sure everything clicks and you go home knowing a few new tricks.
There are no prerequisites for this class! You can come with a partner or come alone. Self tying is possible with most of what we will cover. If you have rope, bring 2 hanks and safety shears. There will be rope to share, and some jute rope to purchase for $12 a hank.
