NIce video taylor,How come you get all this shiney new treemanginers gear?

[Ian Flatters]

I was 50/50 over getting one of these as my ropeguide enters old age retirement this month. After watching the video i decided to give it a try, heck it can't get as stuck as much as my ropeguide does can it??? Also really like the ability to have a retrievable increased ratio system too (mainly for after lunch).

Well, I know a guy who knows a guy who's Great-uncle went to school with a guy who's daughter is friends with Ricky Gervais. And we all know Ricky Gervais is huge in Austria. So I pulled in a favor!

would this work alright with a blakes hitch? reading rupes post earlier on about not working to well with a prussik made me wonder if a blakes would work ok? as that i what i climb on

[Rupe]

Similar problem as with the prussik. The reduced amount of friction at the top has to go somewhere, so it goes into the knot. i.e. there is now more weight acting on your knot, and that will cause it to lock up. Also blakes doesn't self advance so no need to reduce the friction at the top, a normal cambium saver is perfect.

 

If you are using a blakes then the subtleties of a ropeguide or pinto will be lost so not really worth it. Its all change or stick to waht you know IMO.
