skywalker from stein

[andrew t]

Has any one used it just wanted to know if it is good. Also any advice on using a basic micro pulley for vt i have marlow aris and ocean polyester friction cord pictures would be great of set ups cheers.

[Steve Bullman]

i have one. basically does the same job as a hitch climber with one less hole so its really up to you if you need the 3rd hole or not(for redirects etc etc). Interestingly in some circumstances it seems to self tend better than a hitch climber, im putting this down to the angle it sits at although this is possibly down to my choice of hardwear etc. tending slack from the side isnt quite as smooth as a hitch climber as it doesnt have the rounded sides

[andrew t]

probably go for the hitch climber then will a small micro pulley do for the moment while i wait for some more money for the hitch climber

Small micro pulley will do exactly the same job. Hitch-climber is just a really tidy version of the same thing,

i havent actually used my hitch climber for about a year now since using the skywalker

Ow sorry i thought you meant you preferred the hitch climber skywalker it is when i get the cash and micro pulley till then cheers

[Steve Bullman]

no, i wouldnt say i preferred either...my point was merely that since putting the stein on my rig i havent been in a panic to switch back to the hitch climber. As i said before, they both have plus points.....depending on your style of climbing really

I have the same view of Steve. It is basically a hc with a hole missing, but I find it easier, plus the gate on a petzl crab fits through the holes so it's less of a mindgake to sort things out.

 

For that, and it's awesome blue and black colouring, I use the stein!
