GRIZZLY-SPLICED®
SINGLE-EYE-TAILS
The single-eye split-tail is most similar to the traditional method of snap-tying a rope but with two twists: The system can be redirected around branches without untying the hitch throughout a climb, and friction wear is isolated
to the disposable tail. There’s nothing for old-schoolers to get used to. If you are one of those old-school climbers, watch just one demonstration of the single-eye split-tail and you’ll recognize the value of being able to quickly and safely unclip the climbing line’s end (for redirecting to another crotch) while the split-tail hitch remains tied to the host line—greatly reducing the risk of ever dropping your lifeline to the ground. You can go through an entire day without tying a friction hitch twice. The second big plus has to do with line preservation. A split-tail eliminates the need to cut off the end of your favorite climbing line every few weeks due to friction wear. Simply replace the split-tail and life is good! If you’re not using a split-tail in your climbing system, consider changing to one of Sherrilltree’s top picks for increasing production and climbing efficiency.
EYE-AND-EYE-TAILS
Eye-and-eye tails are used to create
what tree climbing instructors call a “closed system,” resulting in a finished friction hitch with both ends attached
to the connector instead of one hanging loose, as with the traditional hitch or single-eye split-tail. The eye-and-eye tail also allows the use of several hitches that are easily learned and extremely smooth performing. By utilizing both ends of this type of split-tail, friction is more evenly distributed, resulting in more consistent friction through a hitch that is less bind- ing, yet grabs quite firmly. The system is enhanced significantly when incorpo- rating a micropulley that fair-leads the hitch for one-handed slack-tending. Once learned, many climbers find this practice faster and more efficient. A small list of hitches is tested and proven to make line movement through the eye-and-eye hitch considerably more responsive. As always, it is recommended to practice low and slow with any change to your climbing system.
