I was thinking something like this ontop the hitchhiker2 would be the ticket.

Yesssssss

These size 60 ss links lend themselves to the 10mm beeline. The top rope wrench style link is 30 thousands narrower gap than than the lower links, which causes it to engage well.

Looks like a winner!

how does it perform on 11.7mm (yale blue moon for ex)? does it srt and ddrt?

It's designed for SRT 10mm lanyard and/or Captain Hook line as I understand it. Bulldog Bone is the bee's knees for Yale 11.7mm double-braids.

11.7 is too fat for the lynx, however I did make a device 10+ years ago using the next size larger link, which was essentially a ZZ with a proprietary adjustable headstock which did SRT/MRT on Tachyon.

The beeline is a very tough rope, which holds its shape well. My short piece has been tested on to the point where it has flattened in some spots and so will sometimes slip SRT with my weight.

The Diggity OAR will do what you ask, and has the benefit of having the top tending teardrop, which self tends it along well in MRT (or SRT)

Thx for the clarifications. Beeline is tough but it is a relatively soft cordage. It needs to be soft enough (small bend radius) to function well as a hitch cord, not surprised it is flattening under load through the Lynx.

If you happen to have a 9mm kernmantle something like a PMI EZ-Bend (very firm line) I'm interested to hear how the Lynx performs on it. I'm very happy with my mini-wrench/8mm hitch cord on 9mm EZ-Bend but... the Lynx makes my spidey sense tingle ;-) Thx for all your work!

The 9mm I have is stiff to tend, until it is flattened a bit by the Lynx, I would say it is not quite as grippy as the beeline, but will do SRT if some tension is held on the rope below the device.

Here is a 3 arm OAR I forgot about, and found on rope when I was searching for the 9mm. You can feather the release MRT if you hold down the bottom two arms and then feather the top arm. In SRT, if you hold down the bottom arm, then you can feather the release by pulling down the middle arm, while letting the top arm take the majority of the climbers weight.

So here is an improvement to the Lynx. I replaced the rubber nubs with a machine screw and friction nut, so that the friction at the top arm can be dialed precisely for the rope dia. The bottom tending arm and larger bollard improves tending and keeps rope on the correct enter/exit path through the device.
