  • I tested over 27 girth hitches in 5 different configurations with John Godino from Alpine Savvy / alpinesavvy . This topic is one of the most engaging on his page so we thought we would explore it with both nylon and dyneema. I was shocked that the dyneema did better than the nylon in a few of the cases. "But what about shock loading it???" We did that too.

    Dually noted. Dyneema is slick, and you're not supposed to tie knots in it. Nylon don't like sharp metal edges. Also, Ryan played in a tree.

    That yellow nylon was the only thing between me and a 400 foot deck when a couple of pieces blew on a fall in Yosemite. It's oddly emotional to see it being tested.

    Love the channel. Not a rock a climber, but a cell tower climber as my job. It's pretty crazy how intertwined rock climbing and tower climbing is. Alot of videos you guys make are something I learn and can put to use everyday at work. I even got my companies safety director to start watching this channel and a month later later we all got new petzl carabiners a couple weeks after one of your carabiner comparison videos. Coincidence I think not.

    As someone else said: girth hitch on a harness loop would definitely be a great test to see!

    Commercial rigging for theatre is any thing that holds a person the safety ratio is 5:1 minimum.

    The big takeaway from this is never arrange a climbing trip for an end of season football club party.

    Putting a girth hitch in a sliding x show not understanding a sliding x.

    Loving the recent tweaks to how the stats are presented. The results graph as the test sets are happening is much easier to follow and compare.

    Do people girth hitch bolt hangers? 😮 maybe last resort? Whipping on that sends shudders down my spine.

    Thanks for this. I feel like all I’ve been seeing on social media lately is people ranting about girth hitches being so much weaker… any knot on soft goods reduces strength sometimes up to half! Hopefully this ends that ridiculous narrative

    This anchor layout is what I got taught in europe for trad anchors. I find it really cool. It generally does similar things like the BFK (including the ability to use more than two pieces), but it's easier to set up, easier to equalise it and

    Great work guys! That was indeed an expensive test. Nice tree drop tower at the end.
