  1. should be mentioned that the klemheist isnt a particulary bad knot and if its jamming up then maybe your hitch cord/rope combo needs re-thinking
  2. cerne, i find it helps to concentrate on where you have to get to and just go. the more time you take about it, and the slower you do it, the more of an issue trying to balance becomes....flowing in 1 smooth motion is the best way, and a good hitch is key. of course practise has much to do with it too.
