    I've been trying to figure out the right length and whether or not too have an eye splice in each end or not. But I will try a standard prussic e2e and swivel biner on it first.

    I always use a wire core. I wouldn't feel too safe up there without it. On all bigger stuff I use the 3/4" Yale. It flips and rolls great. But I magine if Butch uses a non wire core he has prolly well versed on the dangers.

    Well. My home made knee ascender worked. , not the greatest but it worked. I need to fix my tether so it works right and get my chest harness adjusted right. . A lot of my problem I have is the trees I'm climbing. They are really furry with limbs so my climbing line is always rendering over...

    OK. I'll research this . I will be using the HH with a tether to a chest harness. I was impressed with the knee ascender vid where he had his hands off the rope as he was going up. I have lots of really limby spruce to side trim and that looked like a good system to use to navigate thru the...
