    Sticht Hitch

    All of those devices work to keep the v shapes on the top and bottom of the twist in back from wedging into the rope when hand tending. However, I found they aren’t needed, I now tie it like #317 using only a piece of hitch cord, for rec climbing. The hitch slides slightly easier with a metal...

    Courant ? Flexible flip line/lanyard

    Take the core out and bury a smaller one inside it, except about a foot from the end to more easily tie a stopper knot. The other end of the small core tapers to blend with the eye splice. To put the core back in the cover I have a long piece of 12 ga. copper wire with a loop in one end. The...

    Cousin atrax splice how to

    The Anthrax and the Drenaline splices are both double braid splices that have longer buries to make up for the smaller diameter, less squeezing ability. The Anthrax has a cover only eye, the Drenaline has a quarter of the core inside. The cover and core tapers overlap and are tapered to match...

    Should Have Gotten A Patent, D’oh

    Floating knee ascender, I’d swipe DMM’s design, minus p clips, if I made another.

    Should Have Gotten A Patent, D’oh

    I used rubber grommets and o rings with accessory cord, it stays out of the way when not in use. I like their idea of bringing the bungee end to the swivel carabiner to get a double pull and centers it also. Nice improvement from mine so I called the lawyers off, plus they used red tubing.

    Should Have Gotten A Patent, D’oh

    Forgot to add the picture, the pulley is disconnected at the dogbone when not in use, slightly left of center when being used. The bungee stretches its full length, visible through the clear tubing.

    Sticht Hitch

    The ends make the twist go and back through the ring to the front, then they go through the carabiner, over the top, and back through the ring in the middle, between the other two sections. They go through the twist and then are tied with a stopper. When the ends are through, the hitch is...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    It can happen during a climb, hand tending seems to accelerate the binding more than a neck,chest, or LOTS type tending. The top hitch on the right is a back view of the G-Force, the Sticht, below it, shows the double crossing/twist. On the left is a 32” hitch cord,8mm, has just enough...

    Sticht Hitch

    You should be able to make it tend easier by pulling down on the ring to get some distance between the wraps and the lower section, but if too far it starts to not grab reliably. I’m doing the stopper knot in back a little different, bringing the ends through the twist in back before tying the...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    The G-Force will bind up with use, if the crossed sections in the back are crossed once more, you get the Soft Sticht, which doesn’t bind up.

    DMM Harness

    An extended hitch takes less work to break since you can use some of your weight, not just all arm power like a lower position.

    New courant flexbee lanyard

    I like the black pin that allows the carabiner to be removed with the pulley staying with the hitch. Probably will need to buy their hitch cords for the longer eyes.

    Someone else’s method of filling in the hole, I’d chop it off and put a frame around to hang on the wall.

    Working on Spurs Compendium

    The cheapest and simplest Sticht so far, only uses a length of cord. The bottom wrap makes the “ring”, and the ends go through the twist in back, before stopper.
