  1. Cheers guys, Peter I have retied the knot and made the legs shorter like you and Steve mentioned, it does seem better, a bit tighter to pull but grips a lot better, think I may be fine tunning this one Jeepster I 've also found that the vt also twists my rope I use 13mm new England Ultra vee with 8mm Bee line. I might have to keep trying a few more to find one that suits me. Tom your right when its working well it is a great knot, not tried some of the others you have mentioned, I'll look them up. tried the Martin though that is another good knot. All the best.
  2. Hi this is my first thread so be nice guys:001_smile: I am looking for some advice as to which knot you use on your climbing system, I am using a Distel with a micro pulley but as I'm off all week I thought I would try something different so I have been using a Valdotain tresse, my problem is that I cant seem to get on with it, I mean it is easy to pull the excess rope though and descends very smoothly but every now and again it just wont grip, not sure if the tails are too long? dont know what to use now. Help and advive welcome:001_smile: Thanks
