friction saver pulley?

Yeah just be sure not to get your DFL stuck.

Personally I dont see THAT much of a gain adding a pulley to one side as in the first attachment. A ring ring works just fine, but I do regularly use a Rope guide which is a straight pulley only, and that I love.

If you were to split the difference between a ring ring and climbing on a pulley only, the hybrid ring ring (with a pulley on one leg) would fall somewhere in the middle.

can u set the straight pulley up from the ground got a picture?

No you cannot set a rope guide from the ground. (I think it may be possible, but more trouble than its worth).
I usually ascend via SRT, or ALT to my tie in point, then install the RG by hand.

i always throw ball in and install my friction saver and trim my way up so its really no use to me plus im still young maybe when im older this will come more in use to me thanks alot tho i will keep this in mind
cheers!

I always throw in, ascend to top, tie in, then prune my way down. Yes Im old, thank you.

 

[mikeyott]

haha wasnt calling you old bud sorry if it came off that way. so you CANT install it from the ground but you CAN retrieve it from the ground?

You're correct, the ART ropeguide is the bees knees!
