There has been much discussion about this over many threads.I think that it deserves its own thread(or update).

So from your experience.Share what youve found that combines well.

Samson bluestreak

Beeline 8mm

VT

 

works for me but Im hoping to try armorprus soon.

since climbing on a lockjack I hardly use a hitch anymore.

What are you using now minty.

[MattJordan]

Either, yale scorch 13mm with 8mm ocean polyester VT with Hitch climber.

 

OR

 

New Eng Tachyon 11.7mm with 8mm beeline eye2eye VT with petzl MINI:001_smile:

[Marc]

Tachyon with a knut using ocean poly 10mm tied wit the legs short, consistent grab, easy breaking/advancing, low heat build up for big swings or drops, hard wearing doesn't self tend though but i can live without that.

[Will Hinchliffe]

Currently:

 

10mm Roblon on Yale XTC+ tied in a 3/3 VT (Top leg underneath on all the braids). Self tends nicely. I re-tie it as a 6 wrap Scwabish when chogging down and chokering the stem.

my split-tale is 8mm Ice

Im not recommending this cos I have only tried it out at low level so far.

I saw a hitch posted on here the other day, it was turned like a vt at the top then twisted (independently of the climbing line) then finished like a knut i think.

Anyway I cant find it now but we have been playing around with it and its really good, so... anyone know what its called and where I saw it? I dont even know if i've tied it right but I like it:thumbup:
