A standard tie off for a tree top is a clove hitch with 2 half hitches to back it up (due to the knot rolling problem)

Paddling is gay. Why else would kayakers wear spray skirts

If you were hard working like some of us you would like the fact that you can get up while it's light for a little longer.

CBS Clove hitches have an equal strenght to 8s in fact if you look at some ratings they have more. 75% at least acording to some sites. But websites are bullshit. The clove hitch is the standard knot for lowering large limbs and tops of trees while removing trees. I submit to you that tree guys have a lot more practical experience with loading knots than an unemployed chemist with 2 years of climbing experience. As for you man/boy Paul, give it up. You're beat and you know it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

We've proved how little you know about knots Paul

Yosemite Bowline This knot was sent to me by Bonnie Crystal. This is a variant of the basic bowline which gets around the problem of the knot loosening itself by taking the end of the rope and threading it back through the knot. This is a neat alternative to using a half-hitch to secure the end of the rope and the resulting knot has the strength of a figure of eight. source

Like? Like knots, climbing gear, climbing IcyBC, climbing in general, etc. Face it you're a worthless fuck; and that's one of the reasons you've never got laid. In case you didn't know; your priest sodomising you doesn't count as getting laid.

Crack, you've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are young inexperienced and stupid. Of course that picture of you hangdogging the shit out of an easy ice climb proved that earlier.

WTF is a 'yosemite boline'? Only mounties do this. A) you're an idiot if you don't know a yosemite boline B) Tree guys tie clove hitches backed up with two half hitches all the time. I know you weigh a lot, but I shock load logs that weigh more than you all the time and the knot works great.

Dear punk ass beotch, A) Yosemite boline (at the very least) not a regular boline B) Clove hitch slip can be prevented by tying two half hitches to back it up.

I love over the hill, British rockers shittiest albums

Exactly! So cite them CBS...you've earned your way on to my list of untrusted spewers.

Me? I'm spraying and doing quarterly business bs tomorrow then maybe climbing on Sunday.

The discussion of clove hitches wasn't related to tying into a rope. You just claimed it was a weak knot.

I think you need to study your knots a little more CBS. You always seem to come up with bad info; like saying a clove hitch isn't very strong, etc. As an example: I drop chunks of wood that are heavier than most people on rope that is much more static than rock climbing rope, and the clove hitch is the knot of choice for a tie off knot. I've never had a c hitch fail; however from one of your posts a while back you said the knot was not very strong.

I'm pissed you can't enlarge the photos

Up yours Erock you fucking fuck. Like I said earlier ther's nothing like the classics My take on things is guys like women who act like women, but they think guys who act like women are lower than scum. Erock... you squat to pee

Combining that with bagging on ScottEI and you got a thread I could replay all day and even keep me chuckling on the bus ride all the fucking way home. HAW!!!! I'm kracking up just typing this! When's Muffy gonna chime in? That would put this fucking thread over the top! Whoa . Come on ChucK, ya gotta love the classics

I've shown this site to my dad and told him my avatar name.

He did tell you to shut up before you posted.

And those are just his best traits.
