Tying the Compact Longhorn Agile Hitch

- The Longhorn Agile Hitch has revolutionized non-mechanical tree climbing in JRB systems. This video demonstrates how to tie the same Longhorn Agile Hitch, but in the most compact possible form, such that the carabiner can be left in place and serve as a tending device. This is the mode in which JRB uses the hitch in both "JRB Hitch Climbing" and in Stick Climbing, including "One Stick Climbing". Related Videos:

I’ve recently switched from the JRB 523 Ascender Hitch to the Longhorn Agile Hitch. Most of my climbing is the SRT style, and Agile works really nice.
@@MalucoAmericano that's good to hear. It's also pretty much the consensus. It's a little bit bigger, but the performance is slightly better and of course it's easier to tie. That really comes in handy in a lot of scenarios
Thank you!
Right back at you steve. I'm doing my best to present this information in a logical fashion so that we are building on our knowledge. I just don't want to be in a rush and deliver quality over quantity
Always great content! Can’t wait to try it on my hitch climbs.
It really helps having our carabiner capturing the rope AND being compact and connected to a short bridge. When I stand up to run the next hitch up the tree, I feel like I am in the perfect position
Another great modification to your invention. Thank you for making this available. Your videos make tree climbing very accessible to the average guy or gal.
Appreciate that Trevor. You're going to see it in use soon.
Hey John, been comparing the compact Longhorn Agile, Longhorn Zenith and 5-2-3 JRB Compact with ring for SRT hitch climbing. Initial observation is - and I understand that my 9mm cord with 11 mm rope are still relatively new and not broken in much yet - that well they are all good, not much difference on the ascent, all advance and hold nice but for rappelling it seems that the Zenith will break crazy easy and if i don't have ALL slack out i will slide a little before the Garda catches, probably me not familiar with these new hitches, plus the slick Samson rope and cord combination .Still working on my favorite set up. Frankly i am leaning toward the 5-2-3 compact with a ring, but will continue practice. Seems to me, The 5-2-3 will , after breaking, release gradually and doesn't break totally free .
Ok thought about how the Zenith would break so easy but not grab back on rappel the way we would like for safety, so I RE-TIED, this time really paying attention to the first three wraps and pulled them very tight, i guess with my new 9/11 Sampson cord/rope combo that is important, made sure the zenith was tight, finished up with a longer loop, which is ok, i can go back to the longhorn and lengthen the ends if needed, really like the ball of cord the longhorn zenith gives for handling it, SO NOW THE HITCH WORKS FANTASTIC, slides up easy and grabs tight with weight good on ascent, breaks easy but grabs as needed for back up to the munter on rappel. I use the super munter and feed rope in on descent slowly and gradually, sometimes even wrap the rope under my butt. What a difference a bit of tightening on the first three wraps, might go to four top wraps on the zenith, but using the zenith will definitely contribute to a lighter, less cumbersome bundle of rope walking in and out on a hunt. No metal on the rope. More confident now to test full climbs with it, these last couple of tests were just half climbs to make sure of safety, proper technique, equipment, knowledge, skill, correct hitch tie
9 on 11 is not an ideal combination for LZ. 7 on 11 is 63%.
Awesome JRB… I was wondering if you think that would work for a chest harness and auto tend for arborist work?
I don't see why it wouldn't work however: 1. It's not a rappel device. 2. The manner in which it attaches to YOU and your saddle needs to be worked out. I don't own a chest ascender nor knee and ankle ascenders for rope walking
Im thinking more towards helping me with my arborist set up for when I’m clearing branches from my maple trees I have widow makers in them that need tending to
