Dak, what's the best for hitch climbing 8 or 10mm?

 

What eye splice do you use for your climbing line?

 

Nice work

[Dak]

Cheers bro!

 

Varies from rope to rope and person to person. I like AP 8mm and OP 8mm hitch cord although AP wins for sure, I climb on tachyon.

 

Both splices are class 1.

Nice job Dak

I agree AP poly is easy. I got 8m of the stuff, then I got into the RW- On the RW i like a very short hitch and the class db splice is a bit long and stiff.

Any tips to keep it short but safe??

What cover tail taper are you using?

 

Cheers

Not an expert by any means but Drew B reduced the bury by 50% IIRC on the E2E spliced hitch cords. He also tested them to destruction.

 

This was a while back, maybe he will be along to give a bit more accurate information.

Class 1 is much shorter anyhow!

 

My cover taper is 5/4/5/4 and so on, and my 1st bury is around 4 inches, that obviously reduces when its been cut and tapered and sucked back into the cover and my 2nd is 8 strands from cross over!!

 

Drew will hopefully churp up on this as id be interested to know what he does too, i might be wrong but i thought he'd reduced his fid length to around 20x dia instead of 24! But don't quote me on that!

I did shorter burys on the AP e2e with much blunter tapers as I was told to do, still waiting for the break results, aye Drew. worked really well, not as stiff and they also didn't kill me.

 

Odd that.

its nice when you dont die ay.. class 1 on beeline seems to not kill me either
