Bermy, not finding thumb knot. It just shows overhand knot. Maybe has another name?

I’ll look at the thumb knot- haven’t seen it yet. Yes, multiple wraps. I did 3 because it is a smooth bark species. Haven’t done a canopy anchor yet but that may change. One of the advantages, it seems, in srt basal anchor is not having to isolate anything. I’ve also found it easy to redirect...

Should have taken a picture. As penance for that butchered basal anchor, I tied the latest one with a cow hitch finished with a RB. It was finished off with a shackle connecting the 2 hitch wraps to a spliced eye. 😂

You guys got me thinking more in depth about rope and knots. As well as forces exerted and positions they are exerted from. Strengths and weaknesses of knots in their various positions. How a 1/2 hitch can eliminate improper loading of a TH. Doubled down on knot practice time over the past...

Good stuff guys! Lots of awesome information and tactics as usual.

Also, reading the responses and the mention of a high TIP got me thinking……. what’s the potential for climb line abrasion or severing as it runs over a natural thick bark crotch? In MRT there’s usually a friction saver and if not, the line in contact with the bark is always moving. In the SRT...

So spliced eyes are essentially to be loaded like biners it seems- one direction and not side loaded. Regarding directionality of the TH, one would start tucking over to under or under to over depending on where it’s to be loaded?

Thank you all for weighing in. Going to have to look up timber hitch’s. I thought it was tied correctly but, unfortunately, knots are my Achilles heel 😩. I’ll try to imitate tutorials with little success and lots of frustration.

Anything wrong with this? Climb line wasn’t long enough for 2 wraps. The dead eye hasn’t seen a rigging load yet. Made 10 wraps total.
