It’s also possible they were put on Amazon during the time they were cheaper and the prices didn’t go up when they did at arborist distribution companies?
I popped one of these carabiner holders into the bottom and it’s super easy to slide over the nose and slides off when taking it off the hitch climber.
For sure, I bought mine in the spring and about a month ago the sides started to not stick. Washed the pad and cleaned it with a toothbrush and it still was fucked. Reached out to arbsession and they sent me a roll of replacement Velcro to put on the saddle it’s better, but it’s still not 100%...
I liked it and it was very intuitive to use. I just didn’t like it in certain scenarios I find myself in the tree, like being in suspension using in a mrs situation. When the system is fully weighted like that it was difficult to break friction which can easily be broken by taking a little...
If u just need progress capture for a 3:1 then the Ct Cric might work for you. Not blue one but your 9mm for sure

So the trango Vergo operates just like the cinch except for some few minor differences and it’s rope diameter specifications. I used it on 10mm htp and 10.5mm nylon/poly line. It works really nice in all of the scenarios that I was annoyed with about some other adjusters, such as in suspension...
I’ve lost a good 15-20# and no longer fit into my MB. It was bought last year and had a few climbs on it but went to a TM pro and recently tried this on again and at its tightest waist fitting its still a little loose.
With all the work u did with them, I’m shocked!! When I reached out about the spring action on my foot ascender I was also blown off. I have a glide for sale used four times lol.
Well u can’t go wrong with the positioner. However even that can be hard to engage as well while in suspension anlthough easier to break friction than the glide. Even the glide isn’t that terrible, just certain functions annoy me. The hipster is also a good choice.
Hey man what’s up. This is William, I met u up in Minneapolis with Frank Schafer and Jon like 5 years ago. Are u still climbing?
I like the glide when in a good position for it to operate smoothly. I’ve noticed that if there’s a tight bend being placed on the rope and cam with my full weight...
