So I'm off to the Picos again in a few days and, with any luck, will get to rig some exciting new undescended shafts in the measureless caverns we hope to discover. When I was doing a lot of rock-climbing and Alpinism my friends and I used clove hitches all the time. They're very strong, economical with rope, easy to tie, and also easy to untie after being loaded. Does anyone know why they're still amost unknown underground ?Is there any reason why they wouldn't be safe?
