Hitch climber with Prusik

[HusqyStihl]

I figured the VT. Is there another hitch that would better suit it?

That 24 beeline should work fine on that fire. I love beeline, wears like steel. Some guys like a 28, but I like to just barely get the VT tied and clipped in to minimize setback. Try a 4 wrap 2 braid and see if you can get it clipped in.

i'll do just that when the order comes in. Thanks, thats exactly what i was trying to figure out. didn't want to be too short or too long to impede the usefulness of the system. I like the beeline myself and am probably gonna order another one, might order 2... one in 24" and one in 28". or maybe 3 .

would it be better to get spliced eyes instead of sewn to make it a look a bit cleaner?

Yes, definitely go with the spliced eyes for a cleaner look, and always show up on the job in starched pants and polished boots.

JK. spliced eyes do give you a little more usable length.

I personally like the way stitched eyes interface w/ the hitch climber. It lays flatter on the cheeks plates. They stay in place better. Just my opinion.

8mm beeline is a joke to splice, though.
