what size rope are you using your spider on jonny ? i have found with my lock jack that a foot ascender and a hand ascender can make long climba really quick and really easy espeacially on long climbas where you cant get your feel on the tree . im currently using marlow rope with my lock jack but am tempted to give thiiner ropes a go , all that puts me off it that im not built like the average racin snake so at 6"2 tall and 17 an a half stone im sure if i would get on with a thinner rope

 

I use Yale Blaze, about the thinnest climbing rope you can buy. I am roughly 5'7 and 10.5 stone.

 

I am not certain on this but I think you will be better on a larger rope. The larger climbers that I know tend to prefer thicker ropes (bigger hands). Although you may be the exception that proves the rule.

 

Best to blag a go on a few ropes and see what you like. I believe there are two cams for the spiderjack, one for the larger ropes.

Isn't there just the one for the spider? Lockjack has 2 I know, But im sure the spiderjack just has one standard cam.
