    Lanyard Positioner?

    He’s pulling the handle down to descend, taking up slack when the handle goes up.

    Hitchhiker 2 on a shackle

    Paul designed it for the spline in front, pull up on the rope and it lifts the carabiner off the rope, and rotates the HH so that the two flat surfaces push up the hitch.

    Hitchhiker 2 on a shackle

    I’ve found that the HH tends and releases easier with the device reversed from the pictures, spline facing the climber.

    New device from ISC

    Went back to first post to see that it was released about a year ago, I wonder at what point did they decide they needed to make an improved model? Too much $$$ to scrape, or just sell first run to rabid climbers?

    The most dangerous work yet

    You must change your location to Way west of Lake America on this American forum, suppose it’s alright on Canadian forums.

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    The Ohmega works very well, and incredibly, cheaper than a RW. The amount of bend in the rope is adjusted by the position of the dogbone on the attachment point. It’s a tight fit, and using a dogbone with a rubber insert doesn’t allow it to rotate on the pin. It’s mostly stainless steel for...

    Courant kanopa splice

    Sent it in with a couple others, the 20 year old XTC broke at 5020, it has a break strength of 6,200 lbs. Came apart at the end of the tucks and the where the core strands end at the end of the tucks. The buried tail, a fid and a half, broke at the same spot, and was melted solid.

    Looking for a descender or climbing device with a "neutral" mode

    The Lockjack is a good idea for MRS, the rope has to attach to the device to activate it, or a rope wrench device is needed. The Sulu Go works similar, but on a single rope, stays open until loaded, it rotates closing the two rails, or sleds. https://hownot2.com/products/sulu-go Another that...

    Looking for a descender or climbing device with a "neutral" mode

    RollNLock, Microtraxion, and hand ascender might work, none are for descending if that’s needed.

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    Just a free running sheave on the Cric. The tab on the spacer of the Ring Open would need to break before it could spin, but one of their rubber stoppers slide over it would keep it isolated.

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    Overhand on a bight below the friction hitch was used mostly back in the day, with a carabiner in the loop. Low friction ring could go in the Butterfly, or a ready made Secret Weapon is the Cric.

    Go to canopy anchor?

    An overhand to make a loop is tied on one of the wraps in the back, use preferred stopper. A doubled smaller cord allows it to be shorter.

    Go to canopy anchor?

    A couple ways to use the Sliding Double Fishermen's to join the rings, and another way to configure a Prusik for an adjustable one.
