What exactly are the different meanings for the different terms used. Prussik knot is obviously a knot but when do you use it and how? Knaider swaider and cain method? I dont even know what that is lol probably dumb questions and can probably find a youtube video on it, but I like when someone explains it instead of sitting here watching a video of someone.

Use the search feature. There are some key terms and acronym threads out there. Plus lots that cover individual items of interest.

I know it can be daunting at first but half the fun/value of this place is in the digging and searching. You learn answers to questions you didn't even know you had.
 
No problem.

To get you started, the Knaider/Swaider is combination of climbing aiders, one for each leg, typically used in conjunction with Wild Edge steps. The Swaider is a longer aider that goes from foot to hip. The Knaider is a shorter aider that goes from foot to knee. They allow you to use less steps to climb to a given height. Basically attach a step at about head height then use the Swaider to take your fist step toward it and then the Knaider to take your second step toward it. The 3rd step is onto the WE step itself.

Lots of good threads on these here. IMO the Knaider is a pretty cool little gizmo. Many find the Swaider to be a bit too risky due to possible kickouts. Personal choice. Experiment at your own risk.
