Better Friction Hitch?

John RB said:
I have devised 2 friction hitches... one is the JRB Ascender, link above... the other isn't actually a new knot, it is merely the concatenation of two identical friction hitches into an assembly. I did it with Michoacán but it also works with the distel. The advantage of doing it this way is that when it is holding our full body weight, each hitch is only holding half. And they're just so easy to move.

Tried it with a double distel, seems to work! Need some more (longer) cord to try it properly, but think you're on to something here. Thanks!

Btw, I also the the saddle hunters hitch is worth exploring. Seems like a nice way to go!
