Prussicking is where you ascend or descend a rope using (prussick) loops as slings for your body and each foot.
The loops are attached to the vertical rope with a special knot that allows them to be slid up/down when no weight is on the loop.

How does a ballista work?
A ballista is designed to launch large bolts or projectiles using tension created by twisted ropes or sinew. When the ropes are released, the stored energy is transferred to the projectile, propelling it forward with great force and speed. The accuracy and distance of the shot can be adjusted by varying the tension of the ropes and the angle of the ballista.
