Climbing knots

That buntline looks pretty good too. Does anyone else use that. Chad what do you do with the tail on the anchor hitch and how much tail do you usually leave. Those carabiners are awesome and pretty easy to handle one handed.

If you can afford all that new gear................

why can't you afford the Tree Climber's Companion?

When I tie my anchor hitch I leave about 4-6" of tail. Once you dress and set it correctly it stays absolutely solid no matter how many times you load and unload it. I start the climb with a 4" tail and finish it with 4" :msp_thumbup:

Id say its personal prefernce, What ever you've been taught by an experienced climber has obviously worked for them and if you feel comfortable/safe using it i spose you cant go wrong . I mainly use a figure of 8, but i dont see any problem using a bowline.

p.s. remember wat ever knot your using, take your time, do it rite and dress your knot
