I’d be skeeeerd to use amsteel with any friction knot or slip and grip hitch—with hammock or supporting my weight. It can slide, char and turn black causing loss of rope and possible injury.
Don’t ask me how I know.
I do use friction hitches for tarps.
Valdotain tresse is best with suitable climbing ropes and used in conjunction with a mechanical climbing device that essentially lets you use a ratchet motion to ascend or descend.
It’s a really cool hitch. Climbers get loads of training for their safety—-their lives are on the line!
I no longer use my old Phantom Grappler Suspension—because it was not foolproof!!!
Haha haha the fool was in my shaving mirror.
