Srt newbie, again. .

[D Barry]

So I have looked at all the options,I like rope on rope, but the rope wrench is not for me, too bulky and unwieldy. Have a hitchhiker arriving tomorrow, any tips or precautions?

Was planning on putting a micro pulley below and an elastic neck strap above. ...

Hitch hiker was to heavy for a neck loop from my experience, definitely a chest harness or something ... that is why I went back to a wrench.

Tried the wrench but it was a wench. .. too unwieldy, kept smacking me in the face, erm am I talking about my ex?

But seriously, too heavy for neck attachment?

I hate chest harnesses, normally climb on an old edelrid tree magic which sits just right, as soon as I'm off the rope I don't notice it

You need a chest harness for the Hitch Hiker.

The HH is a perfectly designed device but the rope and hitch cord choice is critical.

Make sure you have a cord that suits your rope perfectly. Also be sure to experiment with hitch tightness as this also makes the difference between awful and excellent.

Look at the 4srt Chester this is what I would recommend from my experience with the hitch hiker.

I personally found it too heavy and too much drag to work with the neck tether, also I could not tie the climbing knot loose enough for my liking. Not sure why the RW was hitting you in the face
