Here is a short video we put together covering the Rope Runner Pro from top to bottom.

Only have to spend $400 for a chance to win one, that's all, just $400?
But if I don't win I won't be able to afford one.

Just dont open the stuff you spent $400 on and when you win one, send the stuff back for a return/refund.

If you even get the stuff. USPS has been disappearing packages on the regular lately.

Just another example of the income divide in this country.
Only the wealthy get to win free shit.

fedex has been cutting and tearing into my shipments. They cut open a box that had a rope in the top, sliced the bag holding the rope. SherrillTree swapped out ropes for me. Then they delivered a boxed spool- the box was worn through and the tape torn almost completely off the lid. Thankfully the rope was intact and untouched.

Bought a used runner off someone and all I got the mail was an empty box with the end ripped off and letter saying sorry they lost it. Shitty deals....

any trial with heavier climbers? I'm 235 before gear. any opinion on how/if it would suit me? maybe with the new samsung climb line? the 12.7mm.

The biggest complaints of the RR 1 were

1) comes apart in three pieces and is hard on and off the rope.

2) sharp edges on the hands and also on the rope

3) Jerry rigged tending point.

These three things were our main focus to try to solve without sacrificing overall function. I think we did that.

Yes you did, and even more. Nice!

 

[Jonny]

That’s absolutely gorgeous looking.
Looks like a huge improvement to the tending point.

I'm a heavier rec climber and use the original runner and have no issues. I did notice this unit has a WLL stamped/printed on it whereas the original had no markings.

Does the Original RR have an adjustment point like the RR Redux?

That is a sexy ad. It really vibes like a rock exotica advertisement with the background line drawing.

 

[Barc Buster]

I'm actually really digging it so far! What happens when the plastic piece inevitably breaks? Replaceable?

Yes, the bird bollard is adjustable on the RR1, if that’s what you’re asking.

Where is there a plastic piece? Is this something i am missing? Original has no plastic!

 

[moss]

Isn't the parking brake on the spiderjack so you can stop it from eating up rope when you don't want it to like when your at your tie in point. I remember that being annoying on the older spiderjacks when you could get sucked in to the tree because the thing gob b les slack almost tooo well. Is it used for other reasons too?

I put a slip knot above and set tight against the bird on my RR and/or ZK-2 RW to prevent either of them from gobbling slack when I’m advancing my anchor or setting a redirect. A simple “brake” to achieve that would be a cool luxury feature but a slip knot is pretty quick to tie when you want it.

In the Nick Bonner “closer look” video he demos the plastic part, it’s part of the system that allows midline attachment functionality without a bunch of parts in your hand. Not a load bearing part so ideally if the part is well designed/constructed should be fine and likely replaceable.
