Hitchclimber Rapide

[Rich Rule]

Picked up this little beast from FR Jones today. I will let you know how it compare to the original flavour once I have had a chance to try out.

 

Cheers Justin.

You could always try it tomorrow Rich, me n Dave D are heading up the woods at 10am, weather permitting.

What are the differences Rich ?

[Stephen Blair]

what buzz said, looks the same to me mate, i take it the word rapid is the give away, has it a superdooper bearing in it or summit??

Hi Rich,

 

How much from jonies.

 

Kev.

[Jonesie]

Hi all

 

It has a bearing in the centre instead of a bush and I think its £26.00 + VAT (sorry not got the price with me at home)

do i win a prize for my guesswork then justin:001_rolleyes:

So, does it sound like one of these could be any good for a big fat lad?

 

After seeing FRANKS standard climber in action, I fancy trying one but im old school prussik type, but getting a bit hacked off with the hitch jamming when ever it gets wet or a bit sappy.

 

If anyone thinks its worth trying, whats the best hitch to use with it, or are we stuck with the VT?

 

Cheers, Pete.

 

PS, if anyone can persuade me, Jonesie has got a sale:sneaky2:
