Might want to run your idea by Carl...lumberjack. It is his forum. And it is not a democracy .
I can’t think of why I would care if you cross post from YouTube to here in your own thread… am I missing anything, anyone?Might want to run your idea by Carl...lumberjack. It is his forum. And it is not a democracy .
You're such an enabler! I love it! I'll see if they have the Boa. It sounds familiar for some reason. Oh my, I just realized that I don't have any Ice Tail by Sampson. It's a 12-strand hitch cord. It's popular for use with foot locking prusiks, if I'm not mistaken. There are also a few others like the Tendon Timber and the Stein ATOL or the Courant Phoenix which might be worth adding for a more complete collection! Then I'll move onto the non heat resistant like you said. Then from there, I'll collect ropes, which will require a lot more savings per purchase. Hitch cords are pretty cheap, thankfully. It's the shipping that can be the killer if you don't make a $100 plus purchase. So, I guess I've decided that my collection is NOT complete, in a change of decision that is as impulsive as I am hahaNow it's time to start collecting non heat resistant cord ;^) I rather like Marlow Boa. Wesspur used to carry an 8mm Sterling I like a lot, but I don't think they have it anymore.
Haha, it takes a certain type of unique gusto to become a member of the 57-Hitch Club. I think there's only one other member and his name is @Brocky. That's right! Name dropping! Sorry, Brocky, I didn't want to seem like nobody else has become a member of this elite club!Of course, I didn't have 57 different friction hitches to try it with .
It’s spelled Ysatsce for both the single and double eye versions. Playing with making the eye, it morphed into a loop hitch by bringing the ends together for a stopper. Placing the knot at the top unclutters the carabiner.@Brocky Thanks for the clarification. That was a major oversight on my behalf by thinking you were referring to a different hitch. I need to pay closer attention to what you're actually tying versus my interpretation of your message.
Having said that, it appears that everyone seems to really love the Ecstasy hitch. I'm so glad that I gave it such a powerful name! I'll have to play around with what you're showing in your images now that I have a correct understanding of which hitch you were referring to.
If the double leg version is called the Yhatsee hitch, then what is the single leg version called? Any relation to the game, Yahtzee? Or do they share one name and just have two different forms such as version I and II?
I particularly love the top version. Where did you learn this technique of securing hitches with stoppers like this? It has revolutionized how I climb by allowing me to use basic lengths of hitch cord instead of eye to eyes. Is this something you came up with on your own? What's really cool is how the stopper can pretty much be placed anywhere (not that you'd want to for some locations, though). I had been tying them at the bottom like number two, but sometimes the hitch can deform and elongate unexpectedly depending upon the hitch I've tied it with (I might be doing something wrong), so I'm going to experiment with tying the stopper at the top of the coil as shown in the first hitch.It’s spelled Ysatsce for both the single and double eye versions.

I think it was simply a matter of polite manners.I can’t think of why I would care if you cross post from YouTube to here in your own thread… am I missing anything, anyone?
It came about eventually when exploring a way to not have preformed eyes, something similar to the Hitch Hiker attachment method. The cord ends were threaded through the holes then an overhand is tied, middle, left in the picture. After a few versions it occurrred to me just a stopper knot in back was needed.I particularly love the top version. Where did you learn this technique of securing hitches with stoppers like this?
