I got 90.00 back and ordered a couple more dots to have around.
Came down sick and stayed home yesterday
Looks like our upload speed got fixed so I uploaded some vids to my YT channel. Still have a pretty big backlog from all the Siberian elms this winter
Same handle there if anyone wants to peruse, I enjoy feedback and discussion
I’ve always tied the taut line 2 under / 2 over.
Used that exclusively from early 1970s until hitchclimber came out with eye to eye hitches (started with vt and other hitches until I found the Michoacán).
Rope wrench (wood version) then a lot of the mechanicals out there, but ever tried the ZZ...
Original HH here as well...an original original :)
VT, four wraps one crossover with 8mm beeline. (I think its 8mm...) Single line. It works just as well if I need to use it double from time to time.
I untie it all at the end of the day.
I have a lovely Akimbo in my ditty bag that Stig gave me...
I'm stuck on the vt myself, love a 3/3 vt or a 4/3. Most everyone I know ended up preferring the michoacan. I only use a hitch for the lanyard though, been climbing on mechanical only for very long.
Mickey, you should post up a pic of your set up.
So for your prussic, you use a prussic loop?
A taut line hitch is "2 under 1 over" so I'd say it is similar to a prussic but it is tied with a tail of rope so the end of the taut line hitch is loose, unlike a prussic which has no loose end. And...
I leave my HH installed. I slide my HH to where I need it.
I use the untie/retie/ adjustment time instead as time for inspecting the rope.
I SRT almost always. Safest self- rescue scenario to my way of thinking.
Way easier for me, as well.
Do you have a foot ascender or rope...
