Hitch climber new hints and tips because it ain't working

[Billbigtree]

Just had a quick look at Knut that looks a lot better and a bit more reliable

That's how I have mine tied, almost no sit back, and loosens really easily.

 

I like the VT not sure why just do!

Impressive I do like it a lot I'm guessing when I get it working it will work really well and thank you for the pics it's always nice to see how people do it there way thanks

I went through a stage of struggling with the VT, knew exactly how to tie it but it just didnt look right. I find now, the best thing is to tie it,put some weight on it and twist the whole hitch round the climbing line until it looks right

Knut on a 70cm ish 8mm cord works perfectly for me. Always grabs and loose enough to pull slack through easily.

The big thing is to play around when you have a bit of time, not under work pressure.

Different rope and cord combos work differently on different hitches and we all weigh and climb differently.

 

I found the Knut was fantastic at grabbing every time, but didn't tend too well. I want to play around with it a bit more, maybe with different cord.

 

Anyone else running a Knut on Poison Ivy? 8mm OP seemed a bit sticky, back on the VT this week.

Try armour prus, best cord I've used so far.

Love my AP Alex, but not tried it with the Knut yet, I'll get some 8mm and give it a go.
