Hi all,

I've been climbing for a while now on double rope with prussik and a steel strop, was wondering about a slicker friction hitch for both ascending. And decending , I can't seem to find much info on best knot,

I've got 2m of 10mm boa friction and a petzl pulley.

 

Just would like some help on maybe tying the distel or vt with pulley and how sucessfull it is as a main line friction hitch,

 

Any pics of your own climbing systems would be great help thanks:thumbup1:

Have a look at the arbtalk knot guide, you'll learn how to tie the various knots, distel would be my choice if your progressing from prussic.

 

I've been looking at that mate but would like a bit. More info on where you ad the pulley etc

boa is awesome. Cheap and easy to make hitches work. I find a knut works well for me and im on 13mm line. mine self tends and about 5m as long as you pull the rope directly towards the pulley. I bought a hitch climber didnt like it and went back to just a fixed pully and love it. Just keep an eye on the orientation of your krabs :001_smile:
