Gripping hitch

[Steve Bullman]

Where applicable please could you list your chosen application for the knot in question, size cord you prefer, length of cord(or loop in some cases), pros and cons, etc etc...anything you can think of really. Thanks

The correct name is Gripping Sailor's Hitch as it is a gripping version of the Sailor's Hitch. It is typically used to grip onto a solid object and will even grap a tapered object much in the way a Icicle Hitch will. Supperior in performance to the Rolling Hitch. I am not aware if its use as a climbing hitch.

I have just bought some 8mm Beal Regate and been playing around with the XTC fire. This is the best friction hitch I tied for this combo. It was the only one that held with brand new 8mm. As the rope supples I shall no doubt experiment some more.
