Hi,

when I started treeclimbing this year, I used SRT with a rope wrench.


Now I got a new rope, a hitch climber, hitch cord and 2 carabiners as a moving rope system.



I tried it yesterday, but being like 20-25 m up in the tree, the end of the rope (Atrax) is so heavy, it chokes my system automatically. I just want to have some slack. I hope you know what I mean...

I'm happy which my Michoacan hitch: I like that it's easy to operate but unfortunately it's also influenced by 20+ m of rope underneath, while barely rope above it...

Thank you,

Kai
