    New Tribe Onyx Saddle discussion in light of the newest saddle releases

    It’s a clam, or v groove clamp, weighting it forces the rope into the groove, and slanted ridges pull it in more, totally passive.

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle discussion in light of the newest saddle releases

    I’ve used it for a hand ascender for a foot loop, mostly hangs on the wall. I use something very similar for a knee ascender with a retracting reel.

    Why no hitch for SRT?

    The slack that usually goes towards the eyes, causing it to bind up, gets pushed back into the wraps with short, stiff legs. Only pushing up on the hitch, instead of pulling up on the rope to tend, also reduces the amount of binding. The Distel, Cornell, and VT are simply wraps around the rope...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    I tried it a few years ago, works okay, does tend the hitch. It takes long hitch legs and has to be set each time, takes a lot of arm movement to hand tend, and it would need a short, strong connector to the carabiner. A truncated Wrench gives an idea of the concept.

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    The hitches would hold for a while, but usually will start slipping before breaking. It would only be as strong as the cord holding the two rope ends, if it didn’t slip.

    Sticht Hitch

    It works if they go straight down, crossed seems to keep the top wrap from uncoiling, maybe just personal preference.

    Petzl guideline on choked carabiner anchor for spar work

    I’m not familiar with the product shown, maybe it can slide if unloaded like a carabiner, but no worries of side loading?

    Undercutting hung up trees

    If it stays hung up swing it out, and back and forth, either by hand, or with a piece of rope. Try going around the back as it goes to the side to leverage it out.

    Petzl guideline on choked carabiner anchor for spar work

    There is a caution symbol, don’t think they are recommending it.

    HH2 Carabiner

    I just tried it, the inside is too small, the HH2 can’t rotate.

    Sticht Hitch

    When the rope is weighted it stretches and gets thinner, it can also happen towards the bottom of a longer descent.

    Undercutting hung up trees

    Try cutting so that it moves sideways a little each time, rather than dropping straight at the tree. The top will sometimes roll out of the other tree.

    Sticht Hitch

    It might be that the bottom section is causing too much friction so that the wraps can’t grab, or too stiff of hitch cord.

    European Sawfly Larvae Eating Pine Needles

    Just noticed them on some of my smaller trees, going to have use binoculars to inspect the taller ones. Been using Wasp and Hornet jet spray to reach them.

    Sticht Hitch

    It wouldn’t be longer, I was thinking of the two ring version for some reason.

    Sticht Hitch

    It would be longer than a typical Sticht.

    Sticht Hitch

    The wraps would still be taking a lot of the load when using your device, and it would extend the hitch, and be harder to tend. Being able to completely transfer the weight to a device and off the cord is my goal, like in #324, or #338.

    Sticht Hitch

    For hand tending, the rope only needs to be lifted out and up about 90 degrees, doesn’t enter the groove, it just acts like a piece of tube tender. To use for descending, lift up 180 degrees for it to go in the groove, and then use a couple fingers to compress the wraps. Not sure your idea’s...
