Basalt SS
The Basalt SS friction hitch features a double locking soft shackle that takes the place of a carabiner. Made of 100% American made Technora. Technora is a type of aramid fiber that combines high strength and heat resistance. These features make the Basalt SS a perfect friction hitch for saddle hunting ropes. The 3/16 is suitable for lifelines including tethers, rappel ropes, and bridges. The 3/16 can be used with 8mm-11.4mm ropes. The 1/8 eye to eye is a good choice for micro diameter ropes ranging from 5mm-6mm and is the ideal replacement for the FeatherLite Lineman's Rope. The Basalt IS the ideal choice for the WLR Hitch if you want to eliminate metal/carabiners.
NOTE This hitch is a 12 stand hollow braid rope featuring a brummel locked spliced. It is common for the buried portion to poke through the braid where the taper ends.
