Anyone still climbing with knots these days?

[Steve Bullman]

Just in case...I finally got round to redeveloping a favourite old feature.

Yes.

Mix Spiderjack 2 and VT on different ropes.

Thanks. Forgot to auto link vt 😁

That would be a great resource. I get numerous new starters coming in to the shop asking how to tie stuff, be great to direct them to this. I can't say I get much time to show them face to face. Although I do try.

Yes always revert back to a vt or variant , just can’t get on with mechanical stuff…

Not just me then, also too tight to spend the money on more chunks of aluminium.

Before I stopped climbing my positioner broke and I reverted back to a 3-1 vt for my lanyard. Still preferred the zigzag for my main line though.

Knots are for gays. 

 

On a serious note I took @Mark Bolam s advice on a hitch with a chicane while my zig zag is back with petzl, and I love it. Running a knut.

 

Can't quite place how it's better than a wrench but it certainly is
