the spider is a nice idea

 

the slack tender they've called the 'rope slider'.......

 

Climbing Gear - Rope Slider

 

They're saying this could replace a micro pulley, but it can't be attached midline like a micro pulley (petzl fixe or cmi)

It still looks interesting though, I very rarely need too have to take a pulley off the line, fancy giving it a go.

As for the spider I barely use the rigging plate I own already so that's off my wish list.

The rope slider is a nice simple idea.

I want one of the rigging spiders! Thinking of using it instead of a termination knot, it's rated at 50kn but what about the bend radius of the hitch? I am thinking it would be better than a termination knot. I think it has lots of possibilities!

look great, and very versatile.....

 

thought the same on the termination knots, but i am sceptical to if there going to be another hit or miss....there nothing really a DMM rigging hub can't do or a rigging plate really....

Not thought of the DMM, but the price is hideous! £80 for a small one and £120 a large one. €28 for the spider!

 

I suppose the DMM has more possibilities but at a price!

[Adam Bourne]

no what you mean mate it seems DMM have some what gone a bit mad on there prices but then you do know you will get your moneys worth.... well shall i say you will get a great well built product but justifying the need and price is down to the individual
