El nudo ocho es el más utilizado para encorarse en la escalada. Te mostramos como hacerlo correctamente y detalles que debes tener en cuenta.
El nudo ocho es el más utilizado para encorarse en la escalada. Te mostramos como hacerlo correctamente y detalles que debes tener en cuenta.
A la hora de atarse a una cuerda y comenzar a escalar existen dos nudos que suelen utilizarse. El ocho y el as de guía.
Sin dudas el nudo ocho es el más popular y es el que nosotros recomendamos y enseñamos en los cursos de escalada que ofrecemos.
Algunas personas prefieren utilizar el As de guía como nudo para encordarse. Uno de los principales motivos a los que aluden es que el as de guía es más fácil de deshacer después de una caída. Si bien es nudo seguro, si esta bien hecho, es mucho mas difícil su verificación, ya que no es un nudo que se utilice popularmente en la escalada y mucha gente no lo sabe hacer correctamente.
- Si el nudo esta bien hecho y peinado se puede deshacer sin problemas, no importa que tan grande sea la caída. Y si me he pegado vuelos de 10 o 15 metros y he podido deshacer mi nudo sin ningún tipo de problema.
- Es el nudo más utilizado en en todo el mundo para encordarse, por lo tanto a la hora de hacer un chequeo cruzado, es más fácil la verificación.
- Es un nudo resistente y difícil que se deshaga solo. El as de guía si no esta bien hecho o se remata, justamente es más fácil de deshacerse.
Te dejamos un video para que mires los conceptos básicos del ocho. Recuerda que este video no sustituye un curso de escalada y es imprescindible que antes de escalar realices un curso de formación adecuado.

VER MASEmpezar a escalar en roca es algo que engancha. Quien lo prueba, repite. Pero si hay algo que todos nos preguntamos al principio es: “¿Qué necesito de verdad para empezar sin meter la pata?”. Porque sí, hay mucho material de escalada ahí fuera, muchas marcas, muchos tecnicismos… y no todo es imprescindible desde el minuto uno.

Santi is the best climbing guide you can imagine. As a reference, we two are 6a-7a climbers, but we wanted a local guide to help maximize efficiency in a foreign area. He was highly recommended to us by a friend who Santi guided a few months back, and he was as wonderful as described. He takes his role as Guide seriously and comprehensively, from helping you plan ideas for areas to concentrate on, considerations of weather and season, logistics for where to stay and how to get there (he picked us up one day, and we met him in our car another), as well as making himself available to help with any other questions or needs for the trip as a whole (not just the climbing part). Our long chain of detailed texts show how dedicated and sincere he is in wanting to help plan the best trip possible for you. This was highly unique, unexpected, above and beyond, and much appreciated. Before you've even met, he treats you more like a friend coming to visit Spain than a client that he is just doing business with, and that warmth goes a long way and sets him apart from most any other guide I've experienced (i've had great guides in my life, so this just reinforces Santi's particularly special character). Like I really felt like we were friends, and still feel like we are, as he reaches out and keeps in touch still and I really appreciate that relationship. Humanity, sincerity, and kindness in business--what a crazy (wonderful) concept! As a climbing guide specifically: he is consummately professional, impressively knowledgable and safe, as well as comfortingly sensitive to your climbing abilities and needs, and tailors each day with climbs that are perfect for you--if you want to be comfortable or if you want a little/big challenge, if you want to experience highlights of an area by switching up crags in the same day. He knows the areas so well and of course knows how to choose the walls that are in the shade or in the sun for whatever time of day or season you are climbing. There is so much variety and fun for either multi or single pitch too. In addition, when we were all climbed out for the day, he took the opportunity to show us the beauty of the local areas, playing also a photographer and travel guide. He also went home to let us borrow his guide book to other areas that we were headed to later, and kept in touch to make sure the rest of our trip went smoothly. So nice! Here is a person who treats his job as a climbing guide and ambassador for the area with such deep consideration and earnestness, and who treats his role as a human being with exceptional kindness and faith. We are so grateful that he came into our lives as a climbing guide and as a friend. Thank you Santi for being you, and please everyone call him now for any guiding adventures (he travels to guide too!) Also, his rates are so fair and reasonable. And you will be so happy if he is available to take you on an adventure with him! Cheers!
(Translated by Google) My 12 year old son and I (50) did the rock baptism. I have no climbing experience. It was great. Santi very attentive and friendly at all times. It gave us a lot of security. It adapts perfectly to the level of each one and encourages you to improve yourself. Without a doubt, totally recommended! Thank you very much for everything Santa!
