Casey I've fiddled around with various hitches over the years (love and maybe not so much sometimes - sap) and ended up playing with mechanicals but I gotta say I watched your vid couple of days ago and spent some time playing indoors (winter has struck here) and the Arbsession hitch is a game changer for me. And I've tried em all on and off. So wanted to say thanks to the two Casey's for your work on this thing. On a variety of 11.7's or 11.8's haven't worked out anything with 24' cord but the 28's I have all seem to be as smooth as butter esp on Voyager (it's "soft" - love the hand on this rope) - 3 wraps or 4 sometimes. Looking forward to trying out Arbsession's Caralink V2 and some new HCPulleys. Favs are Ocean 8, Armor-Prus 8, HRC 8, and maybe then RIT and Bee Line in 8 mm 28". Smokin hitch guys. Going to try some E-E 's in 26" when I get the new tethers. Cheers - this has kinda made my week!
Sick! About two years ago I started tying this hitch and called it the Diana. Everyone I showed had never seen it before. Some of my friends climb on it. Glad it's been validated. Cheers yall
I love this system. I feel it's the safest one there is. Compact enough to use it as a double rope system when needed. Nice being able to transfer from double to single line😎
This is freaking sweet! I already switched my lanyard over to this hitch and will be using it for my main climbing systems from now on. For my 30" cords I just add a wrap and it's the dream.
Small world, I remember that tree buzz post! Actually tried it back then and quickly forgot how to tie it😆 I love how the hitch functions! Smooth release and grabs quickly with very little setback. Great for lanyard too, nice and Compact. Thanks man!🤙🏽💪🏽
Thanks for sharing Casey, is that also known as a Catalan hitch? (I've been using it for a while and really like it, found a photo of it on an arb forum...)
There's a treebuzz forum where I asked if anyone knew if this hitch had a name. I started the discussion in March of 2011. I've been using it since 2009-2010. No one could pin point it and stated I should name it. Many came with suggestions. I decided to bring it back up because I've showed many and everyone enjoyed it. There was also a discussion of a similar hitch called the catalan hitch. There was a discussion on Instagram about it and the guy that knew it as a catalan said it is tied different but has a similar outcome. Be also stated he thought it came from Spain? A Google search didn't come up with anything I could find. I just figured bringing it back to light as the Arbsession Hitch might help many as it is such a great hitch! ~Casey
@@lordgnarington so the question is does the Catalan predate 2009-10? I've tried to do a search on that name and couldn't find anything. I figured calling it the Arbsession Hitch would help give this awesome hitch more eyes and traction. That's the most important thing.

I use a knut with the caralink 3 wraps (armor plus) 24" and it's a great! Best tether for the wrench I have found.
I love this system. I feel it's the safest one there is. Compact enough to use it as a double rope system when needed. Nice being able to transfer from double to single line😎
So glad I found this video this is now my favorite hitch to use so much quicker to tie than most other hitches
I use this hitch with a 32 inch and one more wrap and still does wonders

The arbsession tether and hitch set up looks great! Very compact

Love that hitch ties! Can't wait to try it
beautiful video! I just bought it too!! Which knot cord do you recommend?

@@arbsession awesome, thanks for the history, I've always been curious!
I've known this one as the Catalan too- since 2017
Yes, its a catalan, very similar to the michoacan... we might need latin names for knots too, since the same thing has many different names...

Nice setup 👍.
Where did you get the pink hitch climber?
I got it on a limited batch from DMM. They do a run of Pink products (Carabiners, Pulleys, etc) every year in October for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Very tidy! How different I'd it from a michoacan hitch ? Has 2 side eyes instead of one ??
