The Maverick Hitch can be used as a retrievable canopy anchor or any other application where a strong, secure, cinching hitch is needed, and which is easy to release (jam resistant) even after significant loading. The Maverick can be used in place of a Running Bowline or equivalent Running loop, but offers the advantage of quick release, and ability to lock to prevent unintentional release. This video demonstrates (in greater detail) how to tie the hitch and how to engage the use of a pole for rope setting. See: • Building a DIY Pole fo...

My favorite of all of your hitches. I plan to use this in nearly every climbing situation I'm faced with. Thanks for all you do!
Appreciate that. My pleasure. This one is fun.
Thank you very much for sharing this brilliant knot. It’s very simple to tie and inspect. I have just climbed on it, and really liked how easy it was to form it and to use it. Much appreciated!
Excellent. I am also finding new applications for it regularly. Make sure you watch the "Houdini" rigging option as well as the ability to set it with a pole.
Another fine innovation! Thank you.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
good stuff, thank you
Thank you for this second edition of this hitch, with the added emphasis on the pole location. It is also my new favorite.
I have been practicing one-stepping with this hitch.
In your opinion, is it acceptable to rappel on this hitch without the release loop placed in the "up and over" position? This, of course, minimizes the pull force required to release the hitch while on the ground.
I would still incorporate the final "up and over", and locked, position while ascending or hunting on the hitch.
Thanks again! I love this hitch. (BTW, I like the JRB Cinch as well, but this one.....well,...... you reserve the right to make things better....) Good day sir.
I can't recommend using it for an unlocked rappel without it being tied as prescribed. The loop adds a significant amount of jamming when loaded. Also note that the weight of the rope increases the higher we are. And so even if a saddle hunter at 20ft felt it was ok, that wouldn't necessarily be the case for a mountain climber at 150ft. The rope itself adds non trivial loading.
can you use the pole to advance it up with the carabiner when it is locked?
Does it easily release under load? Would you rappel off of it with out it being locked?
It jams under load. I am not saying its impossible to release under load, but it would take a diversion of a large percentage of our body weight. Watch the end of the Introducing the Maverick Hitch video where I demonstrate this. Yes, I do unlock it before rappel and use a release line which is a different color so no chance of mixing up the lines.
I tried with some cord, and it might jamb too hard. Larger ropes probably don't have that issue.
I was able to try the new hitch today. It doesn't seem to work as well with a very stiff rope.
Are you having trouble tying it? Running it up? Exploding it? Or Running it back? Running it back after load requires a good deal of effort but is possible. But exploding it works well for me on all ropes I have experimented with including stiff ropes.
Alittle trouble but I just pulled harder and it popped out. It's much easier to tie.
@@carlwydrzynski3578 ok, yes, it's a reasonable expectation that a stiffer rope will be a bit more effort to pull the release loop through, simply because the loop will require more force to flatten and pop through. Cheers
Pole hook through both the loop and the load line, OOOOHHH, was doing it with my hook only through the loop, hhhhmmm, ok ,
