ok, i just got my 52' line and 5' runners. got 5 biners. i set it up with the appropriate knots (i believe), but i ran into several issues.
1) the line tightens to a certain point, then wont tighten any more. while this tight (at about 3 1/2 ft high) it allows my 100lb fiance to walk on it and she almost bottoms out in the middle. i cant get it ant tighter.
2) i have a figure 8 knot on my anchor side and it seems to be twisting. i dont know if its the knot or the way i tied it...any suggestions would be great. also, if anyone can give me greater detail on how to tie a frost knot, that would be great. in addition, my clover hitch gives a little bit of a torque as well.
thanks for any help. danegerous

It doesn't take that long at all.. my friend and I tried doing for the first time one day after bouldering for 4 hours.. couldn't do it.. came back 3 days later and nailed it..
just remember to bend your knees and lean forward a little.. you should have it by the end of your second day if you don't give up.
