Dane Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Anyone here leave a vertical V thread made of 6 or 7mm cord, blue on blue, tied with an over hand? This is the terrain and the V thread is about 30m off the deck at the base of some steep ice on the left. If so would you send my a PM? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 No story, just wanted to get the beta from the guys on the route before us. Here is the V thread. Verts aren't all that common typically and just wondered who it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That wasn't me, but I read several places that vertical v-threads were stronger in tests, somehow. Bullshit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmace Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 overhand knots with out long tails are dangerous, I think the consensus is dont use them on V-Threads or use long tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceIceBaby Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Ill trust a V-Threads more than I trust a screw any day they are just time consuming to do on a lead but hell even crappy one can hold a lot more than a crappy screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
