Therrin do you coil up your rope or put it in a bag? The reason I ask is that you say your rope keeps getting twisted. And as far as the decending devices....come on you guys don't really hook all that stuff just for a tree do you? Racks and figure 8's, fisk descenders and all that stuff takes time
to get ready. Time is $. Just redirecting my rope drives me nuts now days let alone hooking in devices. Dont get me wrong Im a tech. head but theres a time and a place. I use a V.T. friction hitch. No frills no thrills 3/8 kevlar rope with two bowlines at the bottom. E-bay had 65' of 3/8 for $47.00 that would last me 15 years. Backing up mechanical devices with a friction hitch? Why not just the hitch? I'v found glazing hard to come by
