Tending Options for the Longhorn Agile Hitch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- The Longhorn Agile Friction Hitch can be configured with several options for efficient progress capture and auto-tending, particularly for use in mechanical advantage systems. Besides the inherent self tending feature of the hitch, this video demonstrates how more efficient tending can be executed while engaging a 180 degree bend in the rope. The two methods are the "Tender Bender" and a Triple Attachment Pulley. Related videos:

Love the Longhorn Agile…it and the Maverick are my go to’s
I really like the Longhorn agile, I can tie it in the dark no problem. Great videos thank you.
Thank you for all of your innovative knotting. Between you and knotorious, my team and I had the opportunity to adapt and implement your techniques and allowed us to always make it back home safely.
I wish you and yours a merry and a happy
Holiday season,, Pax.
Appreciate that. Happy Holidays to your team.
Thank you sir
Great stuff, the Longhorn Agile is the gift that keeps on giving! So versatile and it's so dang smooth.
I was just doing some test climbing today on it... srt on 8mm rope with a 6mm LA... its criminally smooth.
Great work John, thanks for all your hard work and dedication.
Appreciate that. Doing what I can. This one was needed as background for the SRT scenario for a climber who is in a wheelchair.
That's great info. Thank you
What ropes are you using in this demonstration? Im using teufelberger res tech 8mm as a main line, and 6mm trc for the hitch. I can get it to bite, but if im suspended by it, and push against the tree with my weight It'll slide. Maybe the sheathing on the res tech is too soft?
This kind of discussion is difficult here where we can't post photos. If you're in the JRB Tree Climbing Facebook group, post a photo there. I prefer 9.5mm rope minimum diameter for single rope applications due to the greater surface area. Anything which marginally holds dry will slide when it's wet. At my body weight, I am able to use that exact combination provided that my hitch is properly set. Did ypu refer to the Length Specifications page on the website to make sure your starting loop is the right size? Did you add a 6th wrap on top if 5 was inadequate ?

Do these knots work with uhmwpe?
I would think there is a good use there, because less friction. The stuff is very durable, I think its great, some people are scared because they think teflon pan lining, but I think its really just high quality polethylene. Honestly chewing on nylon might be more of a health risk.
I prefer climbing rigs with some slippage, instead of unsheathing the rope, you have more give if there are to be any falls.
This makes me happy I never bought climbing rigging, because it always did seem to me unnecessary. As a kid in whole earth provision even, I wanted just wanted good quality rope, not really any harnesses or pulleys and stuff.
Thanks for sharing these knots, it would have been great to have known about these when I was doing caving, but of course the team would have never let me used them to repel.They are programmed nannies. I would not give a bit, because, it just needs a good knot.
UHMWPE fibers are commonly used in ropes and cords in sailing and boating due to their incredible strength and light weight. But it has a low melting point and given the possibility of heat from friction in some abnormal situations, its generally not used in climbing. However, i have had some fantastic performance from some of these cords in my testing particularly some with a polyester cover over Dyneema. There are other para-aramid fibers like Technora which have great heat resistance and so those are commonly used and recommended in climbing. I am always looking for my next favorite cord and rope and have dedicated pages for each on the website. Lastly, I don't recommend rappel with friction supplied from a friction hitch. I pop on a Munter on a 2nd bridge and it delivers the friction on rappel and the hitch is just a backup.

The 2 is 1, 1 is none rule is sadly true, But with rope climbing, you have made it quite simple.
Its a very reasonable expectation, to tie the knot perfectly every time, and also use the right knot in the situation. Its really just 3 main ones you have kindly shared with everyone, I think it will catch on with many, and they will perform very well. I would like to see if bsa would include these in thier manuals, or if they would be nannies about it. Idk, I think its perfect for them. @@jrbtc
