Continuos preswick loop

[TANNER]

I local climber that I have worked with climbs using a continous preswick tail. He hip trusts allot! Now he is using a half 16 stand line with a knot. And has used a 16 strand one from a suplier.

I recomended a smaller diamiter cord. And also recomended calling Nick, or Knot and Rope.

So what I am wandering is what would be good, or even what can be spliced continously?

And he just uses a four coil hitch. If need be he could convert to a kliemhiest.

I am eager to try it out myself, and I might be interested in one myself

<u>told you I would be here</u>

Re: Continuous preswick loop

Is there a chance in converting him to a more traditional or more widely accepted friction hitch?

Blakes hitch on a standard split tail or maybe an eye-eye hitch cord?

Before we try to find the round peg to fit in the square hole, it seems like we should see if we can just get him a square peg, no?
