One more thing about prusiks. The guidance material doesn't tell you just how tricky these devices are. First there are three types--standard, french and klemheist. These are different knots. I don't know what auto-block is. Is it a knot or a functional device? The diameter of the cord is important and so is the diameter of the rope. The number of wraps is important--three, four or five makes a big difference. I've found that the prusik device has to be tuned to perform well. Prusiks that work well you keep in your bag, You don't want to make them up from scratch at the top of a cliff. Just some thoughts from a BFW.
