@alpinemotion: The Garda Hitch is not a bad or wrong technique, it's a proven and widely used method. However, the Luttensee Hitch offers some advantages that make it more versatile in many situations: • Less friction, because the rope runs over rope instead of being pinched between carabiners • Can be released under load • Easy mode switching back to progress capture mode • Can also be used for controlled lowering without additional equipment Despite these advantages, the Luttensee Hitch is still much less known than the Garda Hitch. For many rescue and hauling situations, it is a simple but extremely versatile alternative that deserves more attention. #climbing #outdoorgear #mountaineering #outdooradventure #toturial
