Hitch climber videos

[scotty-w]

Hey guys I just wanted to know if there are any videos on here or about of climbers using the hitch climber. I'm using the old prussic and thinking of getting the hitch climber system.

 

Thanks Scott.

the hitcher climber is not a system its just a pulley with 3 attachment points. there's all the usual knots to go with i.e disdel, vt, ect, great with use in the m method check out treehamel on Youtube.

are you naturaly right handed? i ask because you tend the pulley/hitch with the left, and it doesnt seem to be a ntural movement for you, have you tried making the hitch pulley sit to the right instead?

 

I love this system, gave it a real good using today:001_cool:

It doesn't really do left or right, it sits in the middle and you can choose which hand you want to pull the slackl with.

 

Thats one of the problems I first has with it, I was used to hitch on left, splice on the right, but the HC system is not like that.

You tend to become multi-handed. Im left handed with the handsaw but mainly use my right but whenever its came to climbing, even when i was on a prussik i seemed to use it left or right.
