best knot for friction cord on hitch climber?

[Marc Doyle Treework NZ]

Tried out the Pinto pulley on the hitch climber today on a large take down, It is good, Im sure it would be handy for the right tree but I found it difficult to get positioned right on it as the secondary line created cannot be adjusted. Its like it needs another prussic, a neat idea though.

Yes sometimes a floating rig is not ideal, it's very simple to install a hitch making it a true double rope set up that indpendtly adjustable. I really like the useful multi sling for this tied with a Blake's it self tends via the pinto as well.

 

Excuse the pic I set it up wrong as the rope is supposed to pass through the green ring.
