Best heat resistant hitch cord

[MOG]

i think there is more to this rescue thing, if it wears out in one climb. you say you had two peoples weight on a single descent on a hitch? with no back up(figure 8 etc)? or am i getting the wrong end of the stick here. i climb on bee line and it wouldnt wear out in one climb thats for sure.

Yep. For a single line rescue the method we're taught is attach them to your eye side with a prusik, attach your D-rings to theirs to stop rotation ... strop around their back if they were out cold or just could'nt support themselves and come down on your system ... I'm guessing a figure of 8 is something you'd use in conjunction with this? (Not sure what this is excuse my lack of understanding).

 

I'm pretty certain I was just being too cautious because of what was said at the climbing comp ... I've had another look and my conclusion would be mild wear/slight surface glazing. Gave it a quick wash and a bit of a rub down and it does'nt look bad at all now.

 

False alarm I think guys ............ Sorry
