Dane Posted March 25, 2010 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
genepires Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 what is the story of the photo? looks nice. is it local? Quote
Dane Posted March 25, 2010 Author 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
rob Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 That wasn't me, but I read several places that vertical v-threads were stronger in tests, somehow. Bullshit? Quote
jmace Posted March 25, 2010 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
IceIceBaby Posted April 2, 2010 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
