11 years climbing and never tied a knot, buy ropes with eyes:001_tongue:

 

I assume your boots are velcro too

You should include the Bachman ring hitch and the funny Bachman hitch for footlocking up a double line that has a figure of 8 tied into it. There really tech. Oh and the Bachman hitch set up from the Lirkin book.

[Steve Bullman]

yep. the software has been installed on arbtalk already and is in the process of having some code modifications. I have a day booked june 25th with Mr knot man extrodinaire and my slr camera...so hopefully a week or so from that date it should go live

GREAT NEWS

 

been having a training day with my groundies. getting them to rec climb and simulate a few rescues.

 

i took the op to try out all those new knots i've been reading about. Some are really good. the knut, mitochean and swabish is particular. helical ok, VT seemed fine, no problems with slippage but a rather cumbersome knot to lower on.

 

Got them all self tending well with just a crab. Will have to try a micro pully or HC next.

Should be fine - it's no different than a knot book...
