|---|---|
| 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 when performing a hard move. It can be also used 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 from top 
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 in case you want to redirect the pull downwards (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
