Are you pulling with both arms? Try having both hands under the friction hitch, pull with both, slide hitch up with upper hand.

 

Try swapping which hand is used for moving the hitch or else your gonna get one arm like hellboy!

Or better still develop a grip that means you don't need a loop, those gloves really help, I won some in the Christmas raffle, I had never climbed in gloves before, I could not believe the difference they make, my forearms thought I was on my holidays!!

 

What type of gloves are they? I hate climbing in gloves but its probably down to not using the right ones. I think I could do with some help on my grip

Plus its getting a bit 'nippy out' and I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold

Just the cheap cotton ones with dipped rubber palms, I pay £1 pair in packs of 20.

 

They aren't as good in the wet, but good other wise there great!

 

I had been climbing for about 14 years and never worn gloves for climbing ever!

 

I won a pack in the raffle and thought I may as well give them a try, could not believe how good they were, they fit so tight that you can still tie knots etc, and the grip is soooooo good!

 

And they do help with the cold too!

 

Give em a go, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
