French prussic for DdRT hitch anyone?

[HÖLLENREICH]

Ok I showed the kleim, and the hedden knots I'll show you the other knots in question. The answer is NO, I've never seen anyone climb on a french prusik. The knots holding power is just too unperdictable.

Knot in major question French Prusik

Auto block

Valdôtain Tress

The Valdôtain Tress X or XT is the same knot with just one more bottom cross.

By any chance is another name for the auto block also French wrap?

Question answered French Wrap after thinking about that I recalled the linked site. You AR guys might want to try this.

I do belive this hitch used to be called Dog-Tailing in the navy back in WWII.

Knots have names, Americans just copy the knot and make up a name.

WTH, take latin and leave it out of knots.

Sorry I can't put up a picture of my hitch, but my camera is missing somewhere.

Thanks for people's input.
