Yes TreeCo, that is the Martin's.

Surfer, the Martins and body thrusting is a pain in the azz. The best way to tie it i've found is to keep the legs on the hitch short... But having said that the part of the hitch where the top wrap comes back down and goes behind and through the bottom wrap loves to creep around the back of the hitch releasing the friction resulting in yourself slowly creeping down your climbing line... I'm always onto this and have been experimenting with more/less wraps to try and fix it, but nothing has worked so far. Soon, if I can't find a way to make that part of the hitch static, i'm going to switch hitches because it is damned annoying.
