hitchclimber rapide?

[LSD]

Is it worth the upgrade?

also thinking about replacing my ultra O on the working end with a different biner. can find it a bit confusing somtimes, don't which way the gate is set, any suggestions? was thinking about a sentinel.

no noticable difference between the standard hc and the rapide as far as I can tell.

Sealed bearing for longevity and smoothness. Only really noticable when used in different applications.

Where you will notice the difference is when you are tending with not a lot of rope under you and when coming in from limbwalks...it is noticeably smoother at those times, also when hanging and doing a quick little up-pull on your tail??? it is like buttah...

What about marking the gate-end that opens with tape? (If that's what you were asking.)

Is the rapide better at paying out line if you climb above your anchor point?

I find that when the setup is hanging loose, the ultra o can work its way round somtimes,

just think a sentinel might work better

I use a sentinel i prefer it to the ovals for the top hole.(make a good throwing karb. on end of rope too)

i've never had a problem with opening krabs, the bottom one always has the gate to the right the top to the left. the bottom always faces down the top always faces up. if it moves just check teh gate, not rocket science

Your right not much of a problem at all , I should take a few more seconds setting up my system b4 I going up, poor preparation = p##s poor performance, and a lot less swearing..

 

Was just checking if the sentinel is fit for purpose that's all and thanks to Heads up, seems like it is, so Ill give it a try, sorted

that is until I throw and it comes down and smacks me in the face then at least I'll have something propa to swear about:cussing:
