I'm currently teaching myself to use the VT hitch, and need some advice. My set up is relatively new Hi Vee rope with the hitch made from new 8mm HRC cord, and using a pulley. What I find is that often the hitch will slip very badly unless I push it up first before loading it. Is this a tendency resulting from the new rope? The HRC is pretty stiff. If kept under slight tension it works great, and slides very easily. The sudden loading is not good.
Also, I read where there is often a cautionary about using the VT, that it is a hitch of some delicacy that requires minding. Can someone explain what exactly the cautionary refers to?
Thanks a lot for the help!
