8mm Armor Prus, 8mm Thermashield or cheapy Marlow 8mm. Eye to eye with pulley

 

Excellent for ascending because you can use very short lengths of friction cord so barely any sit back.

 

Descending nice and fast.

 

Very similar to schwabisch just the bottom wrap goes opposite direction from rest unlike schwabisch where it goes in the same direction.

13mm Bluewater II, 24" 8mm Bee line for my lanyard.

 

Used to use this for my main line but I've switched to the VT

 

Great knot, found it can become difficult to tend after spending a long time in the same position with weight on the knot. A good shake of the knot it's self to loosen things up normally works great.

Use it on my side strop with a micro pulley. Using 8(?)mm liros at the mo. Its a bit thin TBH for that knot, will be going back to marlow boa again.

 

The 8mm liros really isnt suitable for this knot on a marlow split tail or a yale split tail as a lanyard/ side strop. It just binds up too much.:001_smile:
