This is a bit premature, but I've already let the cat out of the bag in another thread.
I have a rock exotica Uni - it arrived last Friday from Sherrill Tree. I was waiting to get my discussion video done before posting 'application' videos, but I'll go ahead and post them anyway. I started with DdRT, but SRTs, limbwalks, and changeovers will follow shortly:

Unicender 3 wrap prusik slipping down tether.
UPDATE
Tobe has come with a simple and effective fix to the slipping problem - a 4 up-2 down wrap prusik. I ran a number of preliminary tests with the 4x2 including bounces, fully slack rope, loading cycles, climbing cycles, etc. The 4x2 didn't budge!
