    Pioter- I haven't hold tree up harness in hands but by pictures it does looks way different then TH 7000. TH7000 looks much bulkier more comfi and better made.however I didn't like it my HT cos of that bulkiness.didn't realized it has saddle instead leg loops which I much preference.I bought it for 100 brand new and sold it straight away for 140.now hunting for something lighter as I climb just hobby.

    All the time mate.On descent I just pull hitch knot towards the body and holding with one hands so its lose and with other hands controlling the rope through the 8figure descender.It feel much smoother that way and avoiding the burn on hitch cord.

    Pretty much same thing as from that video 3:10 is in it?

    Im using Cougar 11.7mm rope.I used to climb just classic Blakes set up -two hands pull,then one hand slide the hitch up.To avoid that Im fiddling with micro pulley now.Thats all. I really like the VT the only problem is no enough room under hitch for pull on rope. I tried that set up from drawing today.Instead to attach live rope in to my harness I did extend it and bring rope end back up to the VT so I have room to pull the rope under the hitch.It does works perfect but would like to hear your opinion if its ok and safe.Also if it is ok to use with VT micropulley instead of hitch climber pulley.

    My apologise if it's unclear. In fact it should be same set up as the one from that vid but instead using rope end as the prusik I am using separate piece of boa 9mm . The only problem is that after few /3-5/pulls the hitch is biting the rope very strongly so there is very hard to pull my self up. Joe-the hitch knot is only so far that you can reach it and pull it for descent. Stewmo-why does it looks strange?Please correct me if I do something wrong.And my problem with VT/Knut is that there is no room on the rope under the hitch knot to pull on to make ascent.Does that make it any clearer? Really appreciate any info.Many thanks

    Images in case I do something wrong.Thats how I use it Blake's or Prusik

    Thanks Ben.Knut is same as Distel two-ends knot.as I'm using rock climbing harness I'm no able to use such a knot as they have short ends.they are too close to climbers body and there is no any room on dead rope to pull on.or is it OK to leave the ends longer?say 50cm each? Hope it does make sense.sorry I'm new to tree climbing and English is not my first language.

    Hi Richie.I'm using Blake's or classic symmetric Prusik.can't use VT or Diestel as I'm using rock climbing harness.the hitch will be to close to body with them which enables me to pull on the rope.

    Hi.I have exactly opposite problem.my friction hitch is biting too much. Just start using micro pulley and after 3-4 pulls the hitch is soo stiff that is almost impossible to pull anymore.I tried Blake's hitch then prusik hitch with 3 twists.I find prusik with 2 twists the only way to climb up with micro pulley but not sure if its safe to hung on such weak hitch.it does hold me well so far tho with no slipping .I use cougar 11.7 as main and Marlow boa 9mm for friction hitch.any ideas please? Many thanks in advance.

    The rope I just bought /didn't arrived yet/ is 11.7 Donaghy Cougar and the Polyester eye2eye 10mm 80cm friction cord I pictured previously.

    Stihl-I'm using another piece of the thinner rope which one end is connect to my harness and other to my climbing rope by B-Hitch. But bought that one recently I planning to try to

    Steve-that's why I bought cougar.Didnt have that kind of information when I was purchasing first rope :-( thanks for explanation.It really is pain.No just bounce /and it does bounce a lot/ but when I do Blake's hitch it have no friction at all or when I tight it harder it is hard to slide.But with cougar it should be solved as you said then.

    Thanks guys Im using 11mm dynamic at moment for like 10 times and it looks kinda wear out all ready in some places.I've bought new 11.7mm Donaghy Cougar Red, Yellow, Black and bit worried about do any damage to it.That's why asking before takin it out. So the normal double rope technic doesn't hurt the rope as much as I thought?What is actually rope life with doble line usage?When is the time to change it?

    Hi guys.New to forum,new to tree climbing. First of all-I am bit worried about life time of my rope.I am using Blake's hitch and there is a hell 0f the friction on the top branch with my 85kg.I do know about cambium saver but is that only option how to save your rope from friction on branch?Is the SRT designed to avoid friction? Thanks for answers,really happy to find arbtalk

    Thanks for quick respond. It cost me £80 for 40m so I guess it's pretty good value.Well at least compare to the one I bought two weeks ago.It was Dynamic 11mm x35m /here is the link/ Dynamic Climbing Rope 11mm Multi Colours 30 mtr NEW | eBay It cost me £45 and friction on Blake's Hitch its almost zero :-( I must use a prusik from other rope.Thats why I was bit worried what to except from Coughar as have no experience at all with it.

    Hi Guys.Is the 11.7mm Donaghy Cougar Red, Yellow, Black Climbing Rope any good for recreational tree climbing on weekends please? Many thanks
