Media Summary: I have never understood why this knot is taught. I see no practical use for it. I think this is the easiest way to convert a 3:1 system to a 5:1 system. All you need to add is a double pulley and a carabiner. I often use toothed rope grabs for hauling loads however I think carefully about how they will be used and the loads they will see.

I have never understood why this knot is taught. I see no practical use for it. I think this is the easiest way to convert a 3:1 system to a 5:1 system. All you need to add is a double pulley and a carabiner. I often use toothed rope grabs for hauling loads however I think carefully about how they will be used and the loads they will see. What angles should we accept with carabiner loading and how does this change the strength? Many rope access technicians claim that we can not use a GriGri with anything but dynamic climbing rope. What does Petzl say? A rope running through a carabiner can be converted to a Munter (or Italian) Hitch with one simple move.
