Even in a fall?

Even so, I think I prefer the screw link if I were going to use one of these options. Though currently I use neither.

Yes. A friction wrap, or "tensionless hitch" is not only regular practice, but considered one of the options for a "best practice" in natural anchor setup in the climbing and mountaineering world.

@Vtbow, nice try. I'm done changing. Sticks to stepps, bolts vs. spurs, amsteel vs. web, low tether vs. high tether, platform vs. steps.

I'mma chuck all this stuff in the wood chipper and get my spray paint camo bucket back out. Blue jeans, field jacket, and a 30-30. My little own brain is the only thing that hurts more than my wallet. ;)

Great thought. I would have originally planned to girthhitch but you make great points that changed my mind. Thanks

Thanks for the review! I think we'll like the rope being a little stiffer on the lineman's belt. It makes flipping the belt up much easier. For years I used a flipline with a steel cable core for just that reason.

As light as the Ascent Lite biner is, I'll keep mine on my belt. I prefer to unhook the end of my belt when passing limbs. I don't have to drag the entire length of my belt over the limb, just the end of it. Less chance of making noise. I also like that it keeps your Ropeman or prussik on your hip with no chance of it banging on something or getting jammed with twigs, bark, or leaves. Just my humble opinion. Everyone is different, so do what works best for you.

I hope they start selling the ropes without the prusik and biner. I could use them.
