[QUOTE="Treetom, post: 3279180, member: 8023"] For higher climbs I use safety blue with an ice tail 5/16 prusik, sometimes 5/16 beeline. True Blue with tenex 3/8 prusick for lower climbs. A couple days ago I used the safety blue with the ice tail, four wraps, two braids, as I recall. Both rope and prusick have a couple dozen climbs on them. When they were new and slippery I preferred a distel hitch before going to three braids, of course that was with the beeline. Whatever setup I have, I have to make adjustments, depending on the wear on the rope and the age of the prusick. Many variables come into play. One must adapt. [/QUOTE]
