Unicender Mod

[Paul Smith]

It is CE approved and will be on sale by one of the site sponsors.

I spoke to gustharts on monday of last week. They said they're having problems, it's not ce'd and won't be out until april at the earliest. Unless you're talking of a different sponsor?

[Paul Smith]

Thats them, like I said will be on sale soon and with CE approval.

[Dan Curtis]

So, it doesn't yet have ce approval,as they said monday, so it wouldn't be ok for loler, with or without mod until the ce goes through

[Paul Smith]

Mine gets loler inspection every 6 months.

[Dan Curtis]

Fair enough, you don't have any trouble then?

[Joe Loggs]

Deer man Is it jerky when you descend? I'm realy liking the look of the uni as it looks so simple.

[Paul Smith]

You can descend nice and smooth with very little practice.

[Joe Loggs]

I don't understand the hype of the rw when it seems the unicender does the job perfectly.

[Paul Smith]

The RW was designed to allow climbers to use a hitch on an SRT system. It does this very very well! It was not designed to be used with mechanical devices( lock and spider jack) but I think for me they are the way ahead! The RW as certainly paved the way in the UK for experienced climbers to try a system which until now very under utilised but I firmly believe SRT to be the future! Kevin may correct me on its original design use but I would say with the innovation of other climbers it's made the RW a huge hit!!

 

The unicender for me makes a simple device for SRT with the only negative I have found is you have to send it off to have it re-serviced.

 

I have a SJ and it works with the RW but I want to make the system as minimal as possible, by using a LJ you can loose the hitch climber. I am going to by a LJ just for this purpose. Cams are readily available and you can change them yourself unlike my unicender.
