The michocan knot

[gazf]

Been to APF today and got talking to one of the guys on the honey brother stall about the michocan knot, i liked the look of it as a replacement to the v.t for a change.

Whated to ask you guys on here what do you think of it

 

Thanks

I too saw that knot and I think I will be giving it a go. Thought it was interesting.

A 'closed' version of the Blakes it seems. Blakes is a good hitch, add a hitchclimber and it can't be a bad idea...

Tried it out today and really liked it, a little more positive than the VT which I prefer and really simple knot, only done the one climb on it though so see how it goes.

I was shown it a couple of weeks ago and so far it seems to be spot on!

Do you use it with or without a pully ?

It looks like a knut from the pick.

 

Am I wrong? just has the bite on the other side than I put mine.

 

Sh*t what am I climbing on!

 

Works for me though with the hc in system:thumbup1:

I'm using it with the hitch climber system but I recon any pulley system would work fine.

ben-jammin, that quote was in ref to swooop link.

 

not ment to confuse your comment off the vt.

 

I have found the same with the knut if that is the right knot I am on about. A top knot imo
