Eye2Eye Hitches

[Nathan baines]

I uses my rope wrench for the first time yestered and climbed with the VT hitch, but i found that there was way too much sit back on the knot. Whats everyone else using.

What length cord?  I would tie a 3-2 vt to minimise sit back, but if you have splice eye2eye then you are pretty much stuck.  Try adding an extra wrap or even a cross in the braid to turn it into an xt

Zigzag ?

What cord you using mate and what length?

Ive used the liros eye to eye,pretty short too,cant remember how long but long enough for a knut hitch.Still had a wee bit of sit back but minimal.

It will take some fettling to get it just right.

Have you tried a distel hitch? I just changed the CT Finch lanyard adjusters on my lanyards for 10mm 75mm long eye to eye distels. Very little sitback, this is lanyards though not main line so I don't know. Try tying a distel and see if it makes a difference

I run a distel on my lanyard on a short eye 2 eye. Works really well nice and compact

I use an 85mm eye2eye i originally had a 8mm/79mm ocean but it didnt bite my 11.7 teufelbereger rope at all i might try a shorter cord what length do you guys think?

I also had a problem with the knot sometimes getting stuck in my rope wrench because a VT is a long hitch is am XT shorter? Or do i just need a longer tether. I bought the isc rope wrench from honey brothers.

Try liros or marlow boa hitch cord.

If its eye to eye cord try 75 or 70mm if its boa you tie your own at whatever length suits.

I had issues with ocean biting on my 11.7mm tachyon.

Is 70mm long enough for a distel? And i use a singing rock hitch which bites 11.7 really well.

70/75 is long enough for a knut,which is similar to a distel.

It takes a while to match 

cord/hitch/rope that works the way you want the same as hitch climber setup.

Zigzag takes all the fannying around out of it....zz bites everytime on any rope.

Just puttin it out there as a consideration for you
