The next step from prussic

[swinny]

if going for the hitch climber, which is the one to go for? the one with the brass bush or the one with the bearing, are there any pro's or cons for both??

[Neil Frost]

Well I went for the red one, brass bush. I didn't go for the rapide, because I'm not very...rapide. Sorry, I'm sure someone else will give a sensible answer.

if you think england is devoid of open crowned trees you havent worked any decent sized Oak/beech/planes/sycamores etc etc etc.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Blakes

honestly believe it is the next step from a prus

then ideally you need to get someone to go through VT or mechanical stuff as a lot of finner points and potential for getting it wrong

I think we're the only country of Arbs still backwards enough to be using prussiks. Spider jack all the way!
