Hello from Australia!
I'm really eager to get a knee ascender going and have recently found this video of Dan from Climbing Arborist.
Wondering if anyone has had any luck making something like this and might have some photos of what they did?

Is it safe / good practice to have a single eye on a hitch climber?
Does it not bend the entire system into a strange loading angle?
It's a cool colour the old sumac!

Hi there!
Yes, I have seen this video :)
Did some research on the product once I saw your last post.....

Trying to find a good supplier that isn't to expensive to ship over here to Australia..
Thanks for the photo friend!
Is this the smaller variety that they offer?
Thinking of getting the larger size in the focus range and attaching my pinto pulley & prussick straight to the swivel so it's easily manoeuvrable to my bridge etc...
Hi Tuebor,
Thank for the response!
Great information, didn't think of setting it up that way....
Was planning to put the swivel straight onto the side D but this sounds like it will be more effective!!!
Do you think the larger sized DMM Focus would allow enough room to fit the pinto pulley...
Hi Jonny!
Thanks for the update and all the info :)
Definitely some things for me to think about....
I'm tossing up whether I go ahead and make the DEDA I'm thinking of or invest in a tree squeeze and use that as my main attachment to the bottom D's on my harness and have a wire running to...
Hi Jonny!
Thank you for the reply :)
