    Thanks to correct my analysis.:) I didn't thought that the finished surface could be so important beside the sliding areas in the bearings. I look closer at the machined surface and do what you suggest.

    I put the HH on my new Tachyon, same setup as my access rope (hard braided). I tried Ddrt and SRT. The beeline's knot seems to shrink a little less on this softer rope and doesn't jam when it's time to descent, good. But instead, I saw the little locking at the Oxam. Nothing to worry, actually...

    I agree. The rope tends to push the biner away from the indent, so the biner can't jam here. I feel a little jerk when releasing in SRT but it is due to the knot shrinking on the rope after a little time at the same place. I'll look closer at it to see your phenomenon.

First, my croll's tether is too low for the HH : its natural place is at the bottom of the carabiner when I'm on...

    This week,I tried the HH first time in a lime tree, around 70' and wide crown, heavily pruned years ago. SRT ascent, and work with SRT and 1 or 2 ddrt for fine positioning. It was like "wow, it's magic". :big-tongue4: The HH responded very well either with only one rope or with the 3 ropes (5...
