The Quick Hitch vs. The Slippery Sheet Bend
The Quick Hitch is my favorite way to send a rope up into a tree. I first learned it from Jeff Jepson's classic book "The Tree Climber's Companion", published in 2000. In this video we take a look at how the Quick Hitch works and compare it to the alternative, The Slippery Sheet Bend. Hope you can get some value out of it!
