Knot Comments posted by Steve Bullman

  1. I never personally got on with beeline, although many top climbers rate it highly, so you're best giving it a go. if its spliced then you'll need to experiment of wraps and braids you use to ensure the legs are at the optimum length when the knot is set. The guide shows 4 wraps and 2 braids but you can do many different configurations. 3-2, 4-1, 5-2 etc etc. 8mm Liros is worth trying on tachyon, available through honey brothers and treeworker

  2. You need to have the exact right combination of friction hitch cord and rope, and cord length is very important. too short and the hitch will be very hard to slide, too loose and it wont grab when you put your weight on it. It needs tuning, best way is having a play with it, low and slow!
