A fine day of climbing...

I think he uses it to make detaching the RW tether easier if switching to MRS

That is true enough. I wanted to be able to add and remove it really easily without sandwiching it in the first hitch climber hole, to do exactly what you say. That way I don't have to detach from my harness to switch between MRS and SRS. But also wanted a compact and simple attachment system in general for MRS. I like "MRS" instead of DdRT, etc., because my initials are MRS. Of course, "MRS" as initials weren't great to have growing up. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Your initials could be worse, my aunt is TED, and my father is DAD! Couple that with his poor handwriting, and I was frequently accused of forging his initials when I was in elementary school…

3 way advantage rope walking?? I might be trying that.

Hello All,

I hope the weekend finds you well.

I'm just buzzing from a nice day of recreational tree climbing. I am a regular visitor to this forum. I learn a great deal, and pickup lots of interesting ideas.

When I climb, I like to try at least one new technique during my outing to keep things interesting.

Today, I employed the 2:1 advantage while limb walking while climbing SRT. I added a Clove Hitch above the Rope Wrench. Clipped on a carabiner. Ran the running end through the carabiner. Worked really nice.

I also fabricated and employed a small aluminum device that allows me to deploy the Rope Logic tether to the Hitch Climber with a Slic Pin (Idea came from Bino H.). The device works great.

Cheers.

coolios, another good option is the caraLINK. SCAM system also works well as an alternative to the clove and is retrievable.

I tried to Quickie but didn't like how it affected alingment of everything. Settled on a DMM XSRE (4 kN rating). Been sitting in the bag for a couple of months, as I haven't done any Rope Wrench climbing lately. The large shrink tubing is just to orient/smooth it.

Not life support, but probably not secure enough to ultimately use. Also, the shrink wrap on the biner itself is for noise reduction, something that might not last a day. The whole thing may be a disappointment. We'll see.
