I will be converting my tarp ASAP. The guy-wire beneath the Prusik remains loose. slip knot). Thanks for turning me on to it eric.I've used 2.2mm Zing-it with Lineloc3 without slippage but it's hard to pull the line tight one handed.

Absolutely no slip even with cheap and slippery braided mason line. Rangers in the competition routinely make it up a 65-foot rope in under a minute.Climbers carry Prusik cords mainly for emergency use, as they are lighter than other options.

Prevents the climber holding their weight because they don't need to advance the hitch. Slide and grip knot intended for a load in one direction only. The loops of cord can be used as slings, and are thus multi-functional in a climbing environment.A prusik made from cord does little or no damage to the rope it is attached to, although some mechanical prusiks can cause damage, especially if the device slips during climbing.Depending on which variant is used, Prusik hitches have the advantage of working in both directions. Prusiks are unlikely to be needed on short climbs where the climber can be readily lowered to the ground; conversely, they may prove useful where the climber cannot be lowered, for instance from a high cliff or due to a hazard underneath the climber.After being put under a great deal of weight, the Prusik can be quite constricted and difficult to untie. I think I will have to look into using ironwire for the guylines and something a little thicker for the prusik. I ended up going with the adjustable grip hitch. I use prusiks a lot but have never tried them under that kind of tension.On another thread (Staking Out Copper Spur UL2), Eric Chan gave the following good description of how to use a Blake’s Hitch (could also use the “Adjustable Grip” Or “Adjustable Loop” hitch) to attach a tie-out line to a tent of tarp corner, so that the length of adjustment is close to the full length of the tie-out cord. Blake’s hitch holds securely, but it does not tighten and jam as much as the tautline and Prusik when the climber is working. So it doesn't seem to be ideal, at least not for this cord.Thanks for mentioning it. Prusiks are good to use in hauling systems where multiple rope-grabs may be needed, and where mechanical rope-grabs are not available.The effectiveness of the Prusik hitch relies on the surface area between the hitch and the main line, and the diameter of the cord used. There's a feature here. Posted by 5 years ago. Klemheist Knot.

Blake’s hitch has several advantages over the traditional tautline and Prusik hitches. Normally the greater difference between the diameter of the cord used for the hitch and the main line, the greater the ability for the hitch to hold. Hey how you doing fella's I'm interested in the hitch climber with Prusik set up, I would like some info on it, I'm so use too the Blake hitch , I wanna try something new out, Question can you descend using that system or do you gotta add something like the rope wrench etc. The Rope Wrench ZK-2 friction device allows climbers to ascend, descend and work the tree "Single Rope" with their favorite friction hitch. Blake's hitch — A newish knot that's better than the taut-line hitch, and an alternative to the Prusik when you don't need a separate loop. Three loops allow the climber to pass a knot in the rope, a difficult task without a third loop.Prusiks will work around two ropes, even two ropes of different diameters. If the knot was cinched down hard enough to prevent any slippage, it was also very difficult to slide it up the cord to take up slack as well.
