New Pole system

[Mark T]

MultiSAVER round the stem with the large end eye a hands width apart from the small eye on the prussik and run your climbing system through the eyes as with a normal cambium saver.

 

Essentially you can climb up with this (adjusting to stem width accordingly) and a flipline. The multisaver just pinches the stem and creates an anchor point when loaded.

 

I've used it a bit and it works well for me - not the quickest but then I see huge benefit in using a simple system which lends itself to self rescue.

i do the same as q but with some small differences i have the ring used as a anchoer on a small dyneema sling it then can be moved to make a long retrieval tail and have a small pinto on the biner at the top of my hitch climber it keeps it slick the reason for the dyneema sling is to use a larger anchor ring which i prefer but maybe a ring loop could be used but im using a 13mm rope so it works better with a larger ring but there is nothing wrong with q's system it is retrievable and it shouldnt get caught on anything because there should be no pegs and if it does get snagged then it is easy enough to whip that bad boy out.

Here you go...

Hi Mark, i could not agree more. The mutisaver is great in that situation, i have one myself and use the same setup on poles. However, it only works on thinner stems. The system I showed allows you to descend on very wide stems, to wide for a multisaver.

 

P.S. The setup I showed does work better with a wider green ring.

 

Hi Jarnii, hope all is well.
