What’s uplines? Not much - what’s up with you?

It’s hard to get up into the air without, well, uplines. Uplines attach the harnesses we’ve tied to the suspension point we’ve set, making suspension possible. This class focuses on three core components: managing uplines, attaching them to harnesses, and locking them off safely and efficiently.

You’ll learn:

• How to build pulley systems for suspension
• Multiple approaches for attaching to harnesses (and when to use which)
• Locking off uplines on both single-point and bamboo hardpoints

This class is part of our 301 class track, taught on the second Saturday and third Sunday of the month.

301 classes are designed for tying pairs preparing to explore suspension. You should be confident tying harnesses and managing rope under tension. We’ll focus on building the knowledge, skills, and communication habits that make suspension smoother - and safer - for everyone involved.

You Should Know:

• Students tying should be very comfortable tying harnesses on the body. Not sure if that’s you? Join us for a Shibari 201 workshop for a refresher.
• Students being tied should have some experience communicating while in rope and processing intense sensations.
• Students should be comfortable giving and receiving feedback.

You Should Bring:

• Your full rope kit - enough rope to tie both an upper- and lower-body harness, plus several uplines - and a cutting tool
• Harnesses you are already familiar with (your own or classic patterns)
• A notebook or something to take notes on
• Curiosity and a collaborative attitude
