bowline not as life support
this is the dumbest post ever. TDS. choose the right knot for the right application. an alpine butterfly is not really meant to be loaded in the loop. the knot was designed to be able to take a damaged section of rope out of the climbing equation without cutting the rope. the use of the ab has...- Jeff_Cochran

It's time for a change
Re: It\'s time for a change so i decided to try SRTWP with a rope wrench i borrowed from a friend. I like it. Its different. tending slack is quicker i work a tree with a lot of redirects anyway so for me the difference was the consistent friction at the hitch. I need to work on my accent...- Jeff_Cochran

It's time for a change
Re: It\'s time for a change Yes, I agree the fight is for all SRTWP to be "legal", but one has to pick a battle and the battle line is this one right now as a variation of this has been used in an ITCC (Rhode Island) and was approved by the ITCC rules committee at that time. when Kevin stumbled...- Jeff_Cochran

It's time for a change
Re: It\'s time for a change it isn't even just a figure eight below it could be a stitch plate made with a carabiner and the d ring on the leg strap of a TM. you could move the figure eight to above the hitch as most rescue books recommend and it still would be ok. but put the rope wrench into...- Jeff_Cochran

It's time for a change
Re: It\'s time for a change The more I think about this the madder I get. It is ok to use any prussic/pulley/rope/knot/attachment, but add a piece of kit that adds friction so the user can SRTWP off the same set up that people Ddrt off of and it is a no go. But it is ok to use just a friction...- Jeff_Cochran
