Thanks!

This was`nt a question of griping knot, since it does grip normally fine. It just got hold by the setup. It got caught behind the carabiner of the fixed line. Since I turned it the other way it got never stuck again while testing but this made me feel unsecure anyhow. No Idea if it can get caught this way too.

Ah ok I just saw the Text over your picture. Yes it did not grap as I was ascending and I had my hand on the rope but this scared me if it might happen at other times as well.

Hello! I got a Edelrid FS and already wondered about the high pitched npise if they smacked together, which in my opinion is a sign of very hard (so light breaking) material. I already wrote Edelrid but got no answer. Anyone knows for sure about their rings? They got no test markings at all.

I climb the Distel normally. On the picture posted by Tom is a variation of the Distel, I tried this one too. Works pretty well. The one rope turning around the other line (the difference to normal Distel) holds the Distel open all time. But How does this picture relate to my Questions?

Hello! I bought a Hitchclimber and installed it as pulley. My problem is it seems to be very unrelieable. It seems to stop the knot from gripping the line from time to time so I feel unsecure with it. Do you have the same problems ir does it grip allways with the climber for you? Another one: I use new england Tachyon rope. The shrink tube on the splice has gone loose. How to fix it? I fear using heat it could damage the rope. What about Heat-Glue? Can I add some and shove the tube over it? Where to add the glue on the rope or white band?
