What length do you guys make (or buy) your I2Is? I'm climbing on one made of Icetail that is 28" long, and that's perfect for some hitches, while too long/short for others. I'm using the Icicle right now, (and liking it), but I'm going to try Brian's version of the VT this week. I tried the VT before, with something like 3 wraps/2 braids (I think) and didn't like it. I've been playing around with just wrapping it four times, crossing the ends in back, and snapping them to the 'biner. Feels pretty good down low. I'll try it up top tomorrow.
I made up another Ice while ago, that's just shy of 27". It seems like it's gonna work, but the next one I make, I'll bury less behind the locked brummel. The bury makes the end too stiff, and when it's already borderlining too short, that doesn't help matters. I also made up one of Technora to try this week.
So...favorite length?
