I love my VT/AP and tachyon combo, and never needed to over complicate things by adding to it, all this rings crabs and figure 8 is just playing about with jangley bits!

 

im still climbing on the AP VT I bought at capel this year, hardly any wear at all and i use it 6 days a week all day! though i am thinking of replacing it soon anyways, i think over 6 months is good enough!

I tried tying a VT yesterday on a hitch climber and failed miserably even with a printout in front of me!

 

I tried and gave up and went back to a prussik quite awhile ago but think I will persevere this time.

 

But, I think I will give the Knut a try this time. Im more of a cnut of a climber anyway.

If it ain't broke don't fix it Tone!

 

I leave mine attached, but check it without busting it when it's set sweet.

 

As Steve has said, a VT dissipates the heat more evenly than most other knots.

Ha ha. I wish. I'll have a week max in NZ, wedding is April 21st.

 

I'll be stagging it with a couple of mates probably, so won't have time/inclination to get too far or do too much.

[DrewB]

thats all good bro, if you get the time ill show you some cool places around auckland-beaches , rainforest, bars etc..

[Mark Bolam]

Be great to meet up bro. I'll pack a wedding suit and 20 kilos of arb gear to sell on and pay for my flight. I'll get a reel of Donaghys AP from Honeys as a gift for you!

 

Are you coming over before then? Ross thought Chrimbo/New Year 2011/2012?
