I like my Eccentric, the last hitch u tied is my favorite but I sometimes also use a knut. But I go back & forth on 4 or 5 wraps. All depends on which climbing rope I'm using. I usually use a longer bridge on my saddle when I climb with a HitchClimber.
You dont have to tie a hitch from the front....you can tie a thousand different hitches a thousand different ways..Richard Mumford is the encyclopedia of climbing and hitches..most guys dont know about the important ance of adding twists to the hitches and parell9ng
