    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    I don't remember the extra length being a problem until I got a HitchHiker. Climbing on the HH-2 everyday for 6 months and then going back on the RW it just seemed to always be in the way. I guess I just got spoiled with the HH. But yes you are right, Not a problem at all for most people. But I...

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    Yes Tim that's exactly it, Just a little metal piece I made ( shackle) that fits on the top hole of the HC pulley. Then just cordage , heat shrink or tape in between. The pin is close to the same diameter as the hole in the HC for a snug fit. I was originally going to try and make the pin with a...

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    Thanks .The tether is 6 1/4" e2e. As short as I could go and still allow the RW to be in the neutral position while ascending.

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    This is one of the best combos I have found with my short tether RW setup; Vortex with a 24" e2e AP 10mm 3x3 VT. It never binds, you can not make it bind, even with a long drop and sudden stop ,always a smooth release. And it always grabs, no manual setting ever, even after 100' + ascents.

    If its a mesh screen, spray it with dry film lubricant to keep the pitch from sticking so bad.

    I was thinking of trying to make one out of aluminum with a hole through the middle for the retrieval line. Don't know if you can make sense out of this picture ( not sure I even can ) but the idea is to either use double throw line to the ground or add a weight that would also act as a stopper...

    Ascent on a blakes hitch

    If you're trying to go all out minimal I suppose you could use the tail of your CL and fashion up a footlock prusik. Tye a 6 loop prusik (or whatever holds good) with a stopper, then a midline knot and carabiner to your harness. then footlock up, lanyard in and tie up your Blakes setup when you...

    DMM throw hook.

    Is the DMM hook something you carry with you all the time? I currently use a folding grapple but it's to bulky to just have on the saddle full time, so I just take it when I need to traverse. problem is sometimes when I need it it's in the truck. I always carry a 32' 10mm multi purpose lanyard...

    Old Growth Fir climb

    Im sure Darrell will retrieve his own climbline . But in the meantime the least you could do is charge up the batteries in the drone, hit up Starbucks and the local pub for a beer and a latte so you can send him up some refreshments when he gets there. Ok you might have time for a quick game of...

    Testing out a RR/Hitchiker hybrid concept

    Quick vid with the Hitch Runner, RopeHiker, Cannibalized Ascender... Whatever you call it. Even works good on 1/2 " Arbormaster. ( video skills lacking sry.)

    Question for SRT climbing

    It would make it easier to access the injured climber on their existing SRT system if it was deemed safe as opposed to ddrt. having the lowering device previously installed would save time in setting up rescue rigging.
