Would this work?

But that defeats the point of making it like a hitchclimber:confused1:

 

but it can be still used like a hitch climber,

[Lorry thompson]

All I can see is a nice calendar:confused1:

Similar, but you couldnt put a sling in between your harness and the bottom carabiner and have it advance smoothly like a hitchclimber. And it doesn't minimise all of the clutter on your bridge like a hitch climber.

If you create additional attachment points, the last thing you want to do is use them up by spreading your existing system all over them. Elegance and simplicity is key. you want to take things out of the system, rather than add them in.

 

That setup is gonna be clanking and jarring all the way up the tree and you'll have to buy new biners at the end of the week.

Yup That is why a small sling would be better than the maillon. Or a spare hitchclimber

I like the idea of a sling. I didn't really want to clip to my bridge as I have two metal rings there. I climb with two anchor points sometimes so use these both for that.

 

I've got some QuickDraw slings which should fit perfect. Would keep the crab upright too.

You could get rid of the mallion buy using a cut away strop? Good idea tho rob and nice calender.

 

The calendar is one of my favourite additions to the lockup. My grandad wants one!

[Mark Bolam]

Rob, just buy another bloody Hitchclimber!

 

And take 12 pictures of that calendar and post them please.

 

Oh, you can't. Forgot about Stihls 'no posting' policy.

[big fell!]

I don't know what your all going on about but i like the calendar in background

 

HAHA good 1, All this climber talk is making me numb... Top calender BTW

Will do mark :thumpup1: your a stihl customer so it's ok!

 

I think I will end up getting another hitchclimber! Gotta get another crab too so I've got 4 of the same.

 

I just thought id have a play round and see what I could come up with.
