setting rigging pulleys

[Mike Hill]

Timber hitch,its not let me down either.

[Steve Bullman]

its a very common knot over here dan. its particularly important to set it right though, ive seen them come undone, but in everycase its because they have been tied too loose and not set right

I've used it before. If I remember correctly the twists should contact the diameter of the tree for half of the tree's diameter and there should be at least six.

I was taught to always tie a timber hitch like that.

For block placement now, I always use a whoopie sling cinched with a steel carabiner.

Only ever use a topping strop with a timber hitch..

My rigging isn't great, a climber I worker with who is super fluid and only use's a cow hitch, one reason is he can start to untie it whilst the groundies are still getting the chunk on the floor and sorting it out, so the second the groundie has the chunk untied he's already moving down to set-up for snatching the next bit.

With a timber hitch you have to wait untill the weight is off the pulley.

 

Me I like loopies.
