Teufelberger hitch cord

[stihlmadasever]

Hey all,Recently bought a teufelberger(think thats how you spell it) 95cm eye to eye,i use it on a hitch climber set up,sometimes vt sometimes distel,problem is im finding its glazing pretty quick.Im not trashing cord through rapid decents and all my others hitch cords have lasted significantly longer.

Anyone out there had the same issue??

Thoughts/opinions appreciated

Hi mate

Often... On the same set up with the same knots (I'm on a zig zag most of the time now but still fond of that set up)

I showed my fluffy/glazed hitch cord to another more (much more) experienced LOLER/climber and told him I had retired it and he said "why?, it's just getting nice now!"

The more you turn it, twist it, re-set it and change and tweak it the longer it will last (obviously) 'cos you are spreading the friction/heat points across the surface of the cord rather than letting it glaze in the same place every time.

I'm sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer but I found that ocean polyester hitch cord is more durable than I first thought and a certain amount of SLIGHT glazing is acceptable. .

Having said this, I definitely wouldn't want to give you dodgy advice that would put you in danger!!

Best to ask your regular LOLER guy, that way you're covered.

Hope this is in some way helpful
