I run 11mm Cord and 8mm prusik cord using a distel hitch with tender.
Used ropemans in the past, Never again!
And I will not use a kong duck. Never!
It looks like if I want to run 8mm oplux and no mechanical ascender, I.e., a tender, the only high strength option I see for prusik cordage is a Beal jammy. With that (since it is sewn), I cannot use a distel hitch.
The only other hitch I can think of is a klemheist. Has anyone run oplux/jammy/klemheist and tender? If so, what was your experience?
Any other EXPERIENCED climbers out there have any other recommendations for other prusik cordage or other friction hitch to use or to use the klemheist?
Thanks!
And please don’t recommend kong duck or any other mechanical ascender device. They are outside the parameters for the solution I am seeking.
