OK, let me re-phrase that.... the German Method greatly reduces the problem of rope slip.... and I'd still like to know why Petzl doesn't recommend the German Method more, I'm guessing there is a reason?

Because.... wait for it... They are FRENCH!
If the German's figured it out, then the French would never admit it is a better technique.

Still not true. Get rid of the word "greatly" and replace it with "slightly". |

Has anyone used a ropeman for a releasable anchor? Put the rope around tree, tie a butterfly in the rappel strand, carabine the ropeman to the butterfly and then run the other end through the ropeman. Tie a pull down 4mm cord to cable in ropeman. Pull pull down all comes down? Same sort of concept as Matt's slick. Just a thought.

Ok one other question. The ropeman I have is not the ropeman 2. I have never actually used it, in fact I forgot I had it till I saw these posts. The ropeman 1 seems to grip a 9mm rope solidly. But every post seems to say you need the ropeman 2 for this size rope. Including their website. So, yes or no on the ropeman 1? I know "it depends", but just for a 9 mm rope.

I was just cleaning out my files and found this picture for anyone wanting to understand the "German Method" of rigging a Tibloc....
Using this method eliminated my Tibloc rope slippage issues.... YMMV...
