Hitchclimber Rapide

[Rupe]

It should be said at this point though that a decent cambium saver is essential to get the benefit. A pulley on a krab on standard cambium saver will do but a ropeguid or homemade equivelent would be bettererer still.

 

Its a whole new sytem and unsurprisingly it can get expensive very quickly, if you master it you'll be after a new harness soon etc etc.

 

Am I being gloomy tonight!!!!!!!!????? Sorry, bu tmy local is full to overflowing with race goers so I'm stuck at home!

you are spot on rupe,once i had a go i changed my harness and rope and now i am changing my karabiners aswell, although i did with the hitch climber any way, when you work with a prusik all you need is a piece of rope, but when you realise there is an easier better way to do things you open your mind to new stuff, and when you do its great. I will soon be an owner of a nice swivel krab for my sequioa:thumbup:

You'll soon be of setting the benefits of the hitchclimber with all the added weight on your harness mate

Welcome to the dark side Stevie.

 

I have ballooned by about a stone (good thing) and got rid of my tennis elbow since switching to a VT last year. I like climbing again.

 

Not using a VT is a bit like saying I prefer a bow saw because I can't get the hang of this MS200T.....

Been on VT, with hitchclimber and DMM ovals for a while, had the Rapide pulley for a month or so, cant see a massive difference, how ever got the thr new Treemagineers multi cambium saver, that thing is sweet, and a lot less than the ropeguide.

Top the lot, along with either my helios or leros 8mm prussik cord this kid is totally colour coordinated. The only way is up.
