Back on prussik's, Whats best to try now...??

[Nick Harrison]

thanks nick,

I'm currently on take 13mm main line, and 8mm viper for prusiks

 

I recently had a read thru a new srt book from America, published by tcia, can't remember actual title...anyway in there it says the FC should be at least 3mm smaller (diameter) than the climbing line, so yours clearly meets that criteria but I'm not sure how the friction is affected with a 5mm difference between the 2?? I'd certainly keep trying with the Knut, might mean trying different rope combos but once you find a good match you'll be more than happy I reckon..failing that its the sj all the way imo

Agree with Nick, I think 8mm is better suited to a thinner line.

I always used 10mm for hitches on 13mm line.

 

I've had a play today and swapped my VT out for a Knut, 8mm OP on 11.7mm Poison Ivy.

 

Running sweet and gripping every time.

That's 8mm OP, pretty sure it's 49" overall with about an inch of tail for the DF's.

you dont have to get a hitchclimber pulley they just create a neater system. just a simple swing cheek pulley will be fine. you just have to put both crabs on your bridge.
