    Maybe I just need to get used to the HH2's locking carabiners the way it is. I'm sure I'll get used to it, I'm just already used to my other lockers. Not a big deal.

    Thanks for the input. I'm definitely going to try that top hole on the SAKA thing!

    Ropewalking questions

    I got my rope walking setup a couple days ago. It's already WAY easier and faster than the RADS setup I was using. It consists of a Hitch Hiker 2, SAKA mini, CT foot ascender, and a simple chest harness made from some tubular webbing, but I have some concerns... How high should my HH2 be...

    You must be hardcore to climb in those temps! Either that, or I'm a big wuss. (probably the latter...) I put on a snowsuit to go out to get the mail. Of course it was 31 below this morning in Wisconsin.

    Yeah, where'd you get all that black gear? Did you find it all like that or did you have to have any of it custom done?

    Yeah, that's why I'm going with the HH. I can see how he switches over to rappel down, but it seems like more work than I want when limb walking.

    Yeah I still think I'm going with my HH, CT, SAKA mini solution.

    Turns out I was mistaken, he also has another ascender. I must have misunderstood when he said something like he was "using a basic Ascension" when he meant was "using a Basic and Ascension." He sent me a link to this video which is very similar to his setup: ATRAES Microfrog

    Is this a safe way to climb? Last night I was at a party and was talking to an old friend who rock climbs. He said he's done a little recreational tree climbing too and was telling me about his setup. He has a New Tribe saddle with a simple homemade lanyard setup. For climbing SRT, he uses a...

    Oh, another question... Does it matter which side foot I buy for a foot ascender if I'm getting a SAKA mini? I'm right handed.

    Thanks for the advice about the Turbo. I figured they were all about the same, but I definitely want one that locks so I think I'll skip that one. I know the CT does and is lighter than the CMI so that's my number one choice right now, CMI second.

    Thanks all. Looks like I can't really go wrong with any of the choices I'm considering and I'll probably just stick with a hybrid device for now. Still haven't decided on the wrench or one of the HH's, but I'm leaning toward the HHX, along with a SAKA mini and a CMI foot ascender. Although I...

    So can someone tell me the pros and cons of the HH versus the Rope Wrench?

    Suggestions for ropewalking gear?

    I've been recreational tree climbing for just a short while now. I come from a rock climbing background, and have a good bit of gear for that. I started tree climbing with the gear I already had which was a RADS setup, and am now more than ready to step up into a SRS ropewalking setup, and am...

    Still new to tree climbing so forgive me for asking, but why do you have a figure 8 on your harness? I've heard other tree climbers have them also... Is it just a descender choice for people who don't use a multiscender in their climbing system? Question #2. Does the term "multiscender" mean...

    Saw pants, saddle, misc gear

    Is there a small version and large version of the Pantin? I thought there was only one... I need a foot ascender and would take it if it's the normal one. Got a pic?
