Friction Saver use

Just to prove it takes all sorts I have a multisaver, I've used a rope guide, and I prefer the multisaver. The main thing for me is to have a little bit of friction up top reduces the work the knot has to do and makes descending smoother.

I've also climbed on zigzag and pulley, I find it a bit on-off but I think this is partly because I'm quite heavy.

Another advantage of the multisaver is that you can set it long, this takes your moving rope away from the anchor point so it wraps around the stem as you move round the tree rather than rubbing.

I also have a standard fixed length ring to ring, haven't used it in years so that would definitely be a waste if you'd bought that.

Thanks Dan really good to know. Yeah think I will just stick to the multisaver rather than buying a fixed length to lenght ring as they are pretty much both the same though I would imagine with the multisaver it would have a lot more optional use as it comes with a prusik. Thanks mate.
