£15 for micro pulley. Couple of quid for hitch cord and you already have the crab to attach it.

Good for if you need to take in slack one handed. Like someone else said, Pick up a copy of the Tree Climber's Companion or search though some of the old threads here and have a look at some of the other systems that are out there.

 

Best of luck mate.

Join the club Butler. Never used a cambium saver in my life ( I presume I should duck for cover now?) because I got out of climbing for a while and when I got back in to it things had kinda overtaken me somewhat equipment wise. I do now use a hitch climber system which is most excellent for climbing but I can't really afford some of the other kit I would like so just make do. I seem to get on OK with the basics so if it does the job until I'm a little more flush then I don't have an issue with it.

i use an art positioner personally. many like the cinch...which ive got, but went back to the positioner. a vt or distel makes a nice self tending lanyard also

 

same as but make sure you get the swivel version.

Indeed!!!

 

And the problem is, if you have one you don't tend to have the other.

Why fix it if its not broken?

 

if your climring style is working for you stay with it, i tried the hitch climber vt set up ( ive plenty time on my hands to experiment), i liked it to start with as it was such a different style to the blake hitch i climbed on, but after a while i think the novelty factor wore off i started to have problems with it so im back on a blake and split tail and it now feels faster than the hitch climber and vt.
