CLIMB // FRICTION HITCHES
It’s important to choose the correct length eye-and-eye tail for the hitch you’ll be tying. Hitches like the Distel and Schwäbisch are better with a shorter tail like 26-28 inches. Hitches like the VT and Michoacan however, need a longer tail around 30-32 inches. Too short of a tail won’t let you get enough wraps; too long of tail and the hitch won’t set properly.
