As a rappel rope, it didn't.I was wondering how that canyon rope held up...
It works great !it’s just not a hitch I would have thought to use in that application.
Just the Bull Hitch with a nice sized tag end.
I have junked that C-IV rope in a month and a half already. I've rappelled over a hundred times with that sucker and the Bull Hitch has never moved!
I use baby zip ties on a lot of my knots and tag-ends and hitches to keep them dressed or from flapping around...
Zoom in on this next picture and check out all of the zip ties.

Why did you junk the c-iv?
What I meant was, I pretty much ruined it.
I bet that a lot of guys wouldn't even think of hanging from that rope if they looked at it first.
It's trashed.
*edit* I still use it...

Not me, I do splices or scaffold knots on things other than hitch cords, which get two overhand knots at the end.If I remember right, I got the idea from either Weldabeast or Brocky.
U really have a lot of confidence in zipties.... hahaha
So....if it breaks, now what do u do? Climb back up, attach another ziptie, go down and hope it doesn't happen again? Not trying to be a jerk...I am just trying to figure out the logic. Or is there a way to somehow retrieve that I'm not thinking of?I've broken some too.
Like I said, they're for tydiness. A hundred pack is about 3 bucks,. I go through a bunch of them...
it puts the head in the cleavage ...

Again...I must be missing something.....if the loop is gone what's keeping the pull down rope/biner from dropping? Unless the pulldown is fixed to the rope but in the pics it isntI’m pretty sure he said that he made sure to clip it to the main line. If the zip tie breaks he will still be clipped to the rope and should still be able to pull it down.
