Explanation:
I "think" that's the term.

mit Prusik an das Partieseil eingeknüpft.

Ascending The Rope
You've all seen the movie where the mountaineer is left hanging in the wind on the end of the rope, his partner unable to help. Our hero inevitably whips off his shoe laces, and uses them to ascend the rope. It makes great footage, but unless you're feeling like James Bond material, or you start using 6 or 7mm accessory cord as shoe laces, I suggest you use a more practical approach.
The standard means of ascending a rope is to use two mechanical ascenders (sometimes called "Jumars", which is just a brand name). As an example, the Petzl Ascension is pictured right. A device such as this will be handy on a big wall, or when a lot of planned rope climbing is required.
If you not lugging around a pair of ascenders, perhaps the next most common means is to employ two friction knots (pictured right), for example, prusiks. Tie the first prusik to the rope and clip this to your harness. Tie a second prusik (perhaps from a longer loop of cord) to the rope, form a slip knot in it's tail and put one foot through the slip knot. Now simply stand up on the foot prusik and, once the harness prusik is unweighted, slide it up as high as you can reach. Sit down and weight the harness prusik once more, and then slide the foot prusik up a comfortable distance. Stand up, and repeat the whole process over and over again. It can take quite some time if you have to ascend a full rope length, and can be somewhat tiring.
