have tried a couple just thought once the slack was tended to, the hitch should lock and hold you?
-
Here goes getting ready for the abuse.....I cant seem to get the hitch to lock out when climbing up hand over hand, I tend the slack by pulling the tail of the rope...as soon as I let go I slide back down the rope unless i dress the hitch each time.....If thats the case I might as well carry on with the blakes hitch? please help any sensible suggestions welcome The set-up of choice is skywalker pulley and michoghan eye to eye....well fed up:confused1:
