What do you use to tie off your rigging blocks?

[Joe Newton]

plus you can tie a cow or timber hitch with the rigging line still through the block. I reckon I fancy my chances time wise.

Trees get fatter further down fucktard.
The whoopie and block move down with each lump until it's time for the 90' stem stunt fell.

Good in theory until you've got to slip a whoopie over big unions etc.

Don't get me wrong. I use what ever kit that's available. I'd use a dead eye personally though.

[Mark Bolam]

I'll use whatever's quickest.
I have both.

Cow hitch then timber hitch when there isn't enough rope left to tie a cow hitch I like this way cos as Joe said no need to take rigging rope out of block every time

Show off


When I grow up I want to be just like you...

Fat and balding?
You'll get there....

reviving this thread... I find with cow and timber hitches its a bit of a balls to untie it, descend and retie. Does anyone else use a running bowline with a 4-5 ft tail so the block can be quickly retrieved from below and re choked off ? It seems the better way to do it but I assume there's a reason why people don't?

Shizll spider sling is great
