SpiderJack Tricks

[Ewan Murray]

The only thing which i rate the hitchclimber over the sj is the versatility of the setup, but find the constant of the SJ to be what i love about it

I'm going to try my SJ with a RW on SRT. Far too many abbreviations in that tiny sentence!

Sounds interesting,Post the pics up

[MOG]

be carefully single line as its not rated for that, M- rig mmm i reckon that would put in a nasty angle when weighted? thats good tho man, its always good to mess around with ideas and show them, as many brains are better than one and one idea leads to the next.

 

Keep it up guys:)

 

HitchClimber all the way;p

 

Cheers MOG

Cheers Matt,Id have to try the m-rig in the tree,As for single line on stem drew reckons it would be sweet?What about backing it up with a fig 8?

if your on spikes working the stem down i reckon the sj would be ok for sure-its not like youd actually be climbing on it much

[David Goss]

I change to a grigri when working down a stem with my climbing line choked on the stem. I tried the SJ once on srt for that very purpose but its no good and tends to be very difficult to break when your weight is on it, maybe with the RW it will be ok? I get the feeling it will be difficult to get close to the stem and will be always at too much of a distance. With the grigri i can get right in to where my rope is choked without any bother. I know its primarily just for descent if needed but it can help a lot if the stem is at an angle and it stops you barn dooring round the stem.

The RW does work with the SJ, actually i think the Lock Jack is better because of the top ring and also because its mountable mid line. Not going to get one though not when I have a SJ in my bag!

Can you explain what the RW does for the the system. What advantages and disadvantages?

I'm intrigued.

Going to be a long time (if ever) going back to a Hitchclimber,Just wondering What little tricks people use with there Spiderjack?

 

Here a couple from me.

 

Pic 1 Add a small sling to go up(pull tail of rope)

Pic 2 Clip big saw into(adds no weight to you)

Pic 3 Get groundy to pull bug saw upto you

Pic 4 M rig?

Pic 5 Coming down single line when RG to small?

 

Pictures 4 worries me a bit due to the angle the SJ is subjected to. Great idea though and defo something to improve upon. Good work atree
