I'm currently using this friction hitch. I've youtubed and google searched this. From my understanding it is called the Xt hitch, but I'm pretty sure there was another way of tying it. Can someone confirm if this is the so called "Xt hitch"? Am I tying it the right way? I've played around with the vt and found that my spliced eye end of the rope would get caught onto the vt, which left the vt bunched up giving me a decend when leaning back on my weight(it would set back after tending slack). This current hitch works perfect with my body weight and runs smooth, so I'm sticking to it. Also by the looks of it, would that be considered a 3-4 or 3-3(wraps/braids)?
