    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...

    Sticht Hitch

    I got a chance to retry the system in #239, does provide more friction, makes releasing a little easier, but harder to tend, a trade off. I mostly use the SGBII shown in post #149, on page 8, quick and easy to use on the fly, keeps the rope free to footlock. A few years ago I came up with a...

    Sticht Hitch

    This did provide some more friction when the ring is directly over the groove, and you are right about the easy tending.

    Sticht Hitch

    I think understand now, not sure if it would work, a lot would depend on the stiffness of the rope, too stiff and it won’t bend into the v groove, and it won’t wedge as much as getting pinched. The hand tending might take more effort with the additional constant friction.

    Sticht Hitch

    Is this similar to what you have in mind?

    Sticht Hitch

    I found that the slight bend in the rope at the center of the ring causes the hitch to release easier than the pinching when using the solid Sticht plate. Also too much bend at the ring will lock up the rope. The four sections of cord from the twist, or six if tying a stopper in back,also...

    Sticht Hitch

    Yes, I call it the Soft Sticht, passing the ends through the twist makes it compact and keeps the twist from wedging.
