Hello riggers of CB. If I wanted to hang some lightweight vinyl banners from a pipe my first instinct would be to use tie line with a clove hitch on the pipe and bowline going through the grommet on the banners. Simple, but makes it a bit of a pain to adjust height and level of the banners having to go up a ladder and retie the clove hitch until everyone is satisfied. Would using the Adjustable Grip Hitch in the place of the bowline be acceptable? That way I could fly the batten in to working height, slide the knot and fly the batten back out. I know that it is a camping hitch used to secure tents and hammocks. If this isn't an acceptable usage of the hitch for flying something overhead, is there an easily adjustable knot/hitch that can be used for the sake of hanging banners like this. Thank you from a humble lighting guy.
