Rope Wrench feedback


Recommended Posts

None really I could only say it kind of as close as a knot is going to get to a lockjack. Theres a video online probably under sam cooper or super cooper knot. It tends and bites on drt without a pulley easily.

 

No real sit back but that maybe down to my style of advancing the knot my bottom two fingers draw the knot and my top two and thumb advance the wrench, dont use LOTS that much anymore after i focused on posture and seems to be just as easy without not. Anyway once i release my lower two fingers i fractionally later release my top fingers to come to a stop with no sit back.

 

 

Sounds complicated but isnt. Think its and amazing knot and allows for some very fast and accurate jumps and stops.

 

I am the same ian. Its easy to have your hand on the knot and set after each pump of the foot which means there is hardley any sit back and a rapid ascent. I use a sling and karabiner as a simple chest harness now for longer ascents. Much comfier than LOTS and a lot less painfull than the bungee over the shoulder technique (been whipped on the backside too many times!) you forget you're actually wearing it when you're working.

I do exactly the same. Cheap to set up, comfy and quick. 👍

It's ok a little stiff! But I think that's just due to the s.j having a side attachment point. I'm going to experiment more with diff tether etc but it works for sure. There is another way you can use it, il upload a pic.
