on 11/3/2009 Yep, good article and a handy knot to know when you drop your ATC! I would add that you need to test weight the hitch before committing yourself to it (and removing a safety) as they can be easily miss-tied. They twist your rope up something horrible so not a regular thing to use. They also go by the name Italian Hitch.
