That hitch looks quick! tried an italian hitch after seeing one climber use it looks very similar, it should of been called the suicide hitch.

I played around with this hitch the other day, whilst mucking about up in a Willow.

 

One of the guys has been climbing with it for a few weeks, moving on to it from the Distel.

 

No creeping, but that was on this ole lump of orange

Looks interesting might have to give this one a try.

yea its a good knot but the only problem is, is that u hav to be called howard to use it otherwise u slip on it and get rope burns on ur hands...espically wen foot locking.
