    when setting rigging pulleys what knot do you prefer and why? when using a split tail/pulley combo i use a timber hitch, mainly because that was what i was originally taught. Why would you choose a cow hitch over a timber hitch? most of the time with lighter rigging i just use a whoopie sling girth hitched.

    im not sure how that works on say a prussik loop where you clip a single loop through your krab, but it does apply on knots such as the v.t where each end of the rope terminates seperately on your krab. someone will verify this for me im sure. i use various cordage for my hitches. if you bought yours are a rock climbing shop you may find it a bit stiff? ive tried cord from such places in the past. also make sure the rope is polyester sheathed not nylon as most rock climbing rope is. it has a lower melting point and isnt suitable for hitch cord IMO

  18. Steve Bullman

    yep...if you're faced with all those potential bills and headaches then it kinda beats the whole point of being employed.....yet at the same time knowing you might have to pay for the dame should encourage you to be more consciensus...its a tough one and someones always going to end up the loser
