I use a long loop, from the floor to my shoulder of 8mm cord to tie a Klemheiist to a double line for foot locking. 8mm seems to work best on all sizes of access line. Its just for going up so you need a ring or a figure of 8 on your harness to get back down. The knot can be easily broken by thumbing the bight that snares the doubled line attached to the climber.

Hi Steve I had one national contractor recently recomended the Klemheist for use as a non return hitch above a pulley of an assisted fell system. Routing the rope from the tree to a swing cheek rigging pulley attatched to a suitable anchour point allows the groundy to stand off set to the potential fell zone and if the tree for any reason sits back the hitch if configured correctly will stop the tree going the wrong way.

 

They do only use this system on trees standing vertical or already leaning or weighted towards to direction of fell as without a fiddler block system its doubtfull the groundy could pull the tree over using a simple system like this. Its configuration is for assisted fell only not rope hauler.

Hope this helps

Nick

We use this knot alot for this set-up. Its taught on the UA2. Its brilliant when its been under alot of tension , very easy to slacken off and undo.
