Can you girth hitch slings together???

- They say you can't girth hitch a sling to a sling because soft goods on soft goods can cut through each other. We think that rule is too generalized.

Really enjoying this second channel! One thing worth adressing, from an industry stand point (opera flyman here) is that the slings sinched down can be difficult to untie, and be damaged or permanently stuck together, probably retiring them early...
It could affect life, I agree
It really annoys me when people take soft on soft and hard on hard =bad as a rule without understanding when or why these are issues. Thanks for continuing the good work!
Digging the clips Ryan.
One of the questions I get quite often when doing similar things like rigging retrievable rigging straight into a knot, or extending slings with girth hitches. It is the same as any other knot, there are no moving pieces of rope or webbing. When you do your testing with Alpinesavvy I think you will prove some of those things. Cant wait for that video!
Maybe girth hitch a climbing sling to a climbing sling? I think it’s something one might consider doing irl to turn two 60 cm slings into a 120cm. Very small diameter so might actually be bad
Love it! Thanks for the demo. Hope ANSI will take note!
Thanks for the video. How often have I heard old climbers at the crack, that you can't make your slings longer that way... It's never good to relay on old theachings.
Thanks for posting this frequently on the second channel! I´d be interested to see what would happen if you pulled the same diameter slings girth hitched together, I bet that 8mm dyneema girth hitched to 8mm dyneema would be really bad (break a lot lower than dyneema girth hitched to a carabiner).
We are actually testing a LOT of girth hitches with alpine savvy in about 3 weeks when he comes to the lab. We'll be testing that
@@HowNOT2Clips Nice, i am looking forward to this collab!
@@HowNOT2Clips I'd love to see you testing a tibloc at some stage. Lots of chat about how they are more aggressive on ropes that a proper ascender. Would be keen to know the truth!
People should just read the technical notice/instructions for use of their equipment, most of this stuff is in there. For example the Petzl Anneau sling according to the technical notice is rated for 16kn with a well orientated girth hitch to a larger diameter anchor connection (metal bar, tree branch etc), 12kn with an overhand knot in it, 10kn with a strop hitch (the recommended way of directly joining 2 slings), 10kn with a girth hitch on a bolt hanger (in good condition). Also shows that running a moving rope through the sling is extremely dangerous.
All these myths and rumors are easily dispelled by simply reading the instructions for your equipment….
Hey HowNOT2, if you want more of these slings, let me know... I've got a BUNCH that we've retired
Have you ever load tested glazed rope from people abseiling too fast?
Sweet test, and good lesson about the why behind the rule.
A little joke for any zealot would be to ask what they do about their belay loop.
Don't tie that soft rope to your soft harness :)
try it with 2 green
Cool video! I wonder if dressing the girth hitch to resemble more of a square knot would break higher. It seems the bend radius would be less.
We wanted worse case scenario for this test but yes, doing that would make it better
In paraglidng we attach lines like that, in 2020 there was an accident where the incorrect dressing of the knots might have been a factor. Full report: xcmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Accident-Investigation-Nevada-2020-2.pdf Here they only found a reduced strength for shock-loading
