Hi.I have exactly opposite problem.my friction hitch is biting too much. Just start using micro pulley and after 3-4 pulls the hitch is soo stiff that is almost impossible to pull anymore.I tried Blake's hitch then prusik hitch with 3 twists.I find prusik with 2 twists the only way to climb up with micro pulley but not sure if its safe to hung on such weak hitch.it does hold me well so far tho with no slipping .I use cougar 11.7 as main and Marlow boa 9mm for friction hitch.any ideas please? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Ben.Knut is same as Distel two-ends knot.as I'm using rock climbing harness I'm no able to use such a knot as they have short ends.they are too close to climbers body and there is no any room on dead rope to pull on.or is it OK to leave the ends longer?say 50cm each? Hope it does make sense.sorry I'm new to tree climbing and English is not my first language.
