I would respectfully request that the mods make this a "sticky" for a few months.
This is a great post and I agree that it should be a sticky!
Come on guys, let's be serious we're competing with the Pretty Picture sticky thead! [8D]
To the guys using the prussic knot. I am very glad to hear that you are using some type of falling scheme while ascending and decending. For me though, I feel the same as vc.Trusting my knot tying abilities with my life is not something that I'm willing to do. But,if you are practicing tying knot correctlyand it is working (test it), and you feel confident with it, then it could work for you. Just me careful and use it everytime. Don't get lazy with it. THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT.
