Is anyone using a Pinto pulley for their V.T system instead of a hitchclimber? Saw an example of this and it looked like a really neat streamlined rig. Tempted to swap to this.

 

Any pictures would be really good. Cheers.

 

Are you talking about clipping the krab on the spliced end into the hitch krab between the cheeks of the pulley? I have seen that done with the petzl fixe. Should work with the pinto too..?

Exactly. Creating a more streamlined and smoother looking set-up.

I'd be interested in this also. Plus does anybody use the stein skywalker pulley? That's got 2 holes instead of the 3 of the HC. the pinto has one?

 

Do you have a pic of the setup darren?

 

Nah, not got any pics. Was hoping someone might have some. If no-one comes up with the goods then I will just buy a couple of Pinto's and show you. Was waiting until Justin started stocking the full DMM range.

well yea, it does work with a fixe. The only slight problem you may encounter is that with the krab going in between the cheeks of the pulley and there being another krab through the cheek holes (naff description i know) and the rope against the pulley it can be a bit tight, creating a bit more friction than you want! however, im sure it could be remidied by using a thin krab like one of the dmm ovals and a thin rope. Also, the length of the cheeks on the pinto pulley may be longer than on the fixe, giving you more space..

Couple of pictures of what I think Darren is talking about (correct me if im wrong) but with a petzl fixe instead of a pinto. In the picture shown here its a bit of a tight squeeze between the pulley rope and krab. But it is 13mm rope and the ISC mini hms are not that mini in terms of spine diameter. Hope this is helpful for someone.
