I'm re-threading a couple hexes and thought it might be a good idea to stick the double fisherman's inside the hex rather than outside... is there any reason not to?
I re-threaded my large Hexs with 20mm tubular tape and tied a tape knot inside the Hex - left decent tails and stitched them, before working the knot inside.
It's a much smaller knot than a double Fishereman's in 8mm or 9mm rope.
Out of interest I have now tied the knot on 7mm or 8mm cord inside a medium sized hex. Total pain to stuff the knot inside, then tuck the tails in and still a pain to fiddle the whole thing out again if needed. I'll leave my knots outside.
Good idea. And I recommend attaching your belay plate to a small length of thin cord which can be clipped back to your harness so you never drop your plate. I've seen at least 4 instances of dropped belay plates so it is well worth doing. Happy climbing.
