Hey @Brocky,
Hope you are doing well and appreciate your expertise and willingness to share it.
Of all the friction hitches we can tie with a Prusik loop (whether its sewn or knotted), which would you say is the best performance for climbing? Specifically, we could execute a non mechanical (sit/stand) SRT climb on just the hitch connected to our bridge and a footloop and:
1. The hitch moves easily between rising moves.
2. It doesn't jam
3. It can be broken under the load of our body so we can transition into rappel on a munter, figure 8, or similar.
For example, Prusik, Klemheist, Hedden and Bachmann all fail #3. I recall you know a few more, but am not sure which is your favorite.
Thx !
