What Knot should i use on the ISC snaplock to attack it to my lanyard rope?

[Dan Curtis]

Dan what's a constrictor hitch is that something you made up lol;-).

 

I'll try to get some pics up, give me a minute

They can be threaded onto an eye, but trying to do that and take pics is a nightmare on your own:blushing: This is the easiest way to tie one. It's sort of a clove hitch with a crossover...sort of.....

 

Beware, this hitch does not like to come undone after load!

get it spliced on mate its alot better! and a snaphook is hardy gucci

 

It's only better if you never want to take it off again.

A lot of folk on this thread need bitch slapped.

 

The guy asked a legitimate question, give him an answer.

 

I'd say use a fishermans knot, also called a barrel or scaffold knot. as with all knots make sure its tied, dressed and set properly before use. before you climb, clip it to something and load it to make sure its b*****d tight.

 

give it a decent length of tail on the non working end, they do tend to pull through slightly over time. IRATA says 4", i think work at height legistlation says 2 time rope diameter. i prefer to er on the side of caution.

why would you want to take it off?

[Pedroski]

why would you want to take it off?

 

When you decide you want a longer or shorter lanyard

Sorry but anything other than a 5m rope with a prussic with a couple if crabs is Gucci. Eg a grillon, rope grab or the ce lanyard.....

 

Dble or single fishy fingers as Steve said, it's referred to in many different ways. U tie it to tie a prussic or as a termination knot with something on the end.

 

I'm not saying anything bad just that those are basic basic knots that any new climber should know before he takes on more challenging equipment.

 

I mean I didn't burn the guy, just merely stated my thoughts.
