I tried it for a while a few years ago, for me it was too grippy, its called an icicle because it can grip on one, or a tapered spar. Its a cool hitch, and as a conventional hitch to use on a long cord with no pulley I'd certainly rate it higher than a prussic or blakes. with a pulley or HC ther are several better alternatives.:001_smile:
