A dynamic cord surely would not have been the solution in that one!

The heat cord is just for the descending part- I've killed cord descending a tad quick even with a fig 8 below it.

I am going for a fast time, but not kilpatrick time ;-)
did 17,48 last year, but hope to shave off a second or so. let's see. maybe I am getting too old
I don't see any safety issue in the static system, so I think I'll just wait and see what happens at the tcc. surely a lot if climbers will be affected.
my experience is that the klemheist is a lot safer than a standard prusik. don't think accident could have been prevented with another hitch.
hope the climber is ok ?

That is funny, I have found the regular prussic to be more reliable than the klemheist

Ontario TCC "banned" the Klemheist a number of years ago after Wenda Li's failed during competition.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that MOST hitches used in the TCC FL would fail if a climber let go. In the years that I've been involved with comps almost every climber that is in the top end will loosen their hitch. They push it up with their hands and then hold the rope and do a chinup while moving their feet up. If their grip slipped most would fall.
If a cord is too stiff it's less likely to grab as well as a softer cord.

That is true. When you know you are secured in the back, I open the knot more than on a normal climb and just go for a fast time ;-)
When I started climbing on the slim full static HTP, I found my knot to be pretty unreliable. Especially on really nasty whet days. But after I started using a 4 wrap klemheist, that is never an issue anymore.
Stay safe
