    You are correct Tim thanks for catching that. I was so excited about going out to the garage and trying a new friction hitch that I got myself confused. I am going to eat a little lunch and head to the tree and try the Knut in real life action.

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    This is a great topic, I am heading to the garage to try a knut. One thing I have noticed in my limited climbing is that the weather makes a big difference in how my hitch acts. I started using 10 mm armor prus on Blue Moon rope and that helped a lot. I noticed in very dry conditions it...

    Hello Bhard 47 Thanks for the welcome. For SRT I am using 150' Blue Moon rope with the rope wrench and hitch climber pulley. Originally I started with just a CT foot ascdender and hand advancing the hitch. I just added the Saka to go with it about a week ago. I now use a chest box harness to...

    Hi again Tim. I do climb, I actually just got out of a tree and came in for lunch. I would consider myself an experienced newbie. What I mean by that is I am not a professional climber, but I have been at it for maybe a year and a half or so now. I started with DRT using a Blakes hitch. I have...
