@Brocky..
Thanks very much. This is really helpful. It looks like there is a fundamental difference between tending (pulling up) the BH with the tag end of the BH connected to uphaul side of the DRT loop (the way I have been) and *pushing* up the BH. There has got to be less friction/wear in the system pushing up, important for ascent. Climbing/arborist supply for the thimble? That looks like throwbag line that ties the thimble in, correct?
@gcr0003..
The Fig8 is tied in the hitch line right below the BH, right? I can't quite envision how that's tied; perhaps in the same way as Brocky's second pic?
Thanks all,
Orion
