Learn How to Tie a High-Strength Tie-Off Anchor | ANCHORS AWAY | CMC

While the high-strength tie-off, or the tensionless hitch, may be used to create a very strong anchor, it does have special considerations. The condition of the anchor point can reduce the rope strength by bending the rope too sharply or exposing it to a sharp edge. Since there is no knot involved, the theoretical strength is equal to the MBS of the rope used to tie the anchor.

Our department makes the figure 8 on the bight first before the wraps. The last thing connected would be the caribiner. Good video doh

Good video. Lose the music and replace with narration in the future. Music adds nothing because it isn't information.

Seems odd to say that you retain 100% of the mbs of the rope because there is no knot, then say to tie an overhand knot.

Seems like instead of figure8-on-a-bite and clip to the load line one could just tie a follow-through-figure8 to the load line directly. Removes a link in the system, albeit makes setup/take-down a bit slower.

What does the over-hand add? Seems you could just dress/set with the fig-8 connect.

Lose the stupid music and mix in a Voice over. Couldn’t watch the whole thing.
