Hitch Climber alternative? ( cost £7.50 )

[Tom D]

True, but thats the cheapest pulley in town and I'm a Yorkshireman raised in Scotland: what d'ya expect.

 

 

 

You could use a second quickdraw on the other side to balance things up but tbh I dont think it needs it. The rope does'nt run on the pulley cheeks.

Your sytem seems plenty good enough, the fixe might be neater but it is best to use what you've got.

Is the pulley and the sling only £7.50??

[Tom D]

Petzl oscillante £6.06 at gustharts

sling £1 at tiso

 

so it s actually less!

[ecolojim]

can you not get the sling between the cheeks of the pulley anyway? I just tried with my isc pulley and i can get mine in. it pulls in tight towards the closed up bit, but it does go in.

the idea is to save a few quid.

 

Bonus points for being creative, but is trying to save a few quid a good idea when it comes to your life? Sorry, probably sounds like i'm just splitting hairs!

I will play around with this thing over the next couple of weeks, If I think it is in any way unsafe then I won't use it. I think the only potential issue has already been mentioned and obviously I am aware of that. If any one else tries it I'd be interested to know your thoughts.

The only thing that puts me off already is the distinct lack of space between the lines....nowhere to put your hand. The hitchclimber has the same problem for me....

Being a lockjack user I may just need to get used to it!

Good thinking Tom! I'm going to give it a try,somthing different anyway mate.

I'd lengthen the vt...
