Knut H is my daily now, easy to tie/ dress preforms very well thus far. Coming from the Distel or VT. Some times it is good just to mix it up I find as hitch cord can develop some funny memory. More so after a wet day or real fast burn. Rubbing / rolling any glaze on rough bark can help add some life and better feel. I still need to take some time to give the following a fair shake. I tend to forget exactly how to tie them. 4. Michoacan 6. Cornell Hitch 7. Catalyst Hitch 8. Enzyme Hitch Thanks for sharing, saved this to my phone for future rec climbs! This is a very clear demonstration, well done!!!

The value of this simple presentation to me, is that there are dozens of such one-way hitches, that vary in performance (sometimes significantly) depending on the relative variables of diameter, stiffness, slickness, and stretch between the hitch and the line, and the loads, control needed, and situational parameters. Most folk will be able to experiment with these options, and select a couple of them to master for most of your specific needs. Thank you.

I could see I was a little off but it looked pretty good and held very well. I can see where the slight give as the sliding hitch tightens up is like a shock absorber and will lesson injury as the rope goes taught, it gives a little, thats good, Give but no slip.

Thing is, there are too many variables between different ropes, different eye-to-eyes, and different climbing styles. Some people get used to one and can't stand any of the others, while some people like one for one purpose, another for another. The VT could probably be said to be the least grabby of them, so it's more likely to slip if it's not tied with enough windings, not dressed perfectly, or used with a glazed and slippery eye-to-eye. On the other hand, if it is tied and dressed well on the right loop, it's *very* responsive. A lot of the more grabby tresses aren't as responsive. I climbed for 2yrs and I used a VT almost exclusively. I tried a few of the other tresses out, couldn't make them stop grabbing and over-tightening. Some people can't stand the VT for their own use, they often say it's too loose, too slippery, too touchy. As my loop became worn and glazed, I had to add one or two windings to my VT to keep it from slipping.
@davidwarren7194 жыл бұрын
Essentially-if you’re climbing-they’re All accomplishing the same tasks You may want to use one or the other depending on what sort of line you’re on. For instance, in the vertical world I generally use the VT. I have a buddy that I go out with occasionally, and his line is significantly thinner and slipperier than my usual line is. Since I use the same eye-to-eyes on both lines, I often use a grabbier Tresse when I’m on the thinner line. On another angle of the question, some of the Tresses are more optimal for different uses. For instance in the scenario of a haul system, or aid climbing-I may use the VT for “down” operations due to its responsiveness, and I may use a Distel or a Schwabish (which is just an asymmetric prusik by the way) during “up” operations. The bottom line is that when you decide which line you’re going to be climbing on, What task you need accomplished, and what material you’re going to be using to make the friction hitch, only THEN do you decide which hitch will be most appropriate That’s why some people learn several species of Tresse-more tools in the box for more tasks and obstacles. In my personal practice though, I make progress captures using the Distel, or some modified asymmetric prusik, and I do everything else with a VT. That’s generally with 8mm technora sheathed nylon on either an 11.2 mm line or a 9.5 mm.

Thank you. I've watched this many times now. The problem I'm having is keeping distance between my rope wrench and my climbing hitch. I've resorted to attaching my double teather to the top hole of my triple attachment pulley and I use the bottom one for my harness. I go back and forth between using the middle hole and the loop on the teather for my chest harness. I'm new to this. I use a Notch" Jet Step " foot ascender and a "HAAS" knee ascender . Really feel a little out of sort without my spikes. Any suggestions for a " GRASSHOPPER " I do this recreational mostly. Occasionally setting Zip Lines and/or cutting low limbs off trees to clean them up.

Cool!!! I want to try the Knut hitch & Cornell when I get a chance. I like the Distel but went back to the Swabish but the former doesn't grab enough & the other grabs too much, esp. W/5 coils instead of 4. A lot of climbers swear by the Valdotain Tresse as it seems to grab & release smoothly. I think I will like some of these options!

There's no easy answer for that. They are all strong if you are using proper equipment. It's more about which ones are grabbing correctly for the type of climbing line and hitch cord. The michoacan, knut, catalyst and enzyme seem to be the grabbiest. More isn't always better. You want a balance. I'm finding that the catalyst and enzyme work better clipped in 180 degrees from what is show.
@benjaminchen19644 жыл бұрын
Yes, I like the Swabish but it cinches so tight it's hard to tend slack even with micro pulley so I went to the Valdotain Tresse b/c it releases better. I don't know if I like all the looping around itself unless it helps extend the life of your eye splice. I end up having flat spots in mine & try to wash them to get them round again.

Some are grippier, some are smoother, some have a tendency to tighten, some have a tendency to loosen. The important part is the hitch cord HAS to be the right size. And the finished knot shouldn't have legs longer than an inch, if it does, add a wrap. Most guys use the VT because you combine wraps and braids to use the entire length whether it's a 26 or a 36 inch cord
