My guide all the way, less heavy lumps of metal and more consitent retrieval.

be very careful wit your homemade ropeguides chaps as your insurance company will have a field day.

I've got the 2005 ropeguide. I only use my old friction for really nasty pine and spruce removals.

It does get stuck sometimes. I have the cocoon as well and am considering buying the new version of the ropeguide. Anyone have experience with that combined with the cocoon?

Erm why? each part is loler inspected and deemed fit for use, the splice's are done by splice professionals, and the set-up is no more complicated than our climbing systems. As in any part of our climbing systems can fail if not set-up and used appropiately.

 

Beside's advances in climbing techniques will never be made without a little experimentation, otherwise we'd all stil be using natural crotches, prussik loops and really big ladders to access trees.

My thoughts exactly. The pulley, ring and rope are all CE marked too. Its no different to tying a vt and setting it up with a hitchclimber.
