| Other names | Rope support |
| Use(s) | Multipitch, mountaineering, rescue |
| Pros | Gives leverage to help with making a hard move |
| Cons | Taking slack is much slower |
Rope support is used in a case when the climber belayed from top needs help by lifting up while performing a hard move. It can be also employed as a support to the second climber during rescue if second climber just needs a bit of help to complete the ascend.
Building the rope support
This rope support can be performed only while belaying from above 
Start with a tie-off of the tuber (1) 
After the tie-off you can let go (2) 
Tie a prusik onto the life strand (3) and place a quickdraw if you want to pull in downwards direction (optional, 4) 
Pull the rope through the carabiner(s) (5) 
You can close the lock (6) and remove the tie-off while holding the brake strand (7) 
Now you are ready to provide the rope support 
Alternatively, this is an illustration of the finished setup without the redirecting quickdraw and with unlocked carabiner for Prusik
