Rope Intensive : Up the Wall
with Smitten_, maxyisfast, and switchtext
You may have noticed that studio Friction has a number of wall anchors throughout the space, 276 of them to be exact. These wall points are a fun way to add variety to tying scenes. Smitten_, Maxyisfast, and Switchtext are going to teach us how to tie into them! This class will include suspension and the moving your bottom from a hard point to the wall. Attendees will be expected to have suspension experience and riggers are expected to have experience in up line management. Participants should come prepared to tie an arms-free suspendible chest harness and a suspendible hip harness. As always, everyone is welcome to participate up to their own comfort level or just observe the class.
The class will be limited to 6 tying pairs and 4 auditors and pricing is per person.
Please have at least 10 25' to 30' ropes, and 8 carabiners
