hitch climber o rig system

[Rupe]

I have a long, four inch, eye splice on one of my ropes and the eye then bends nicely around the ring/krab on the bridge and th erest of the splice is kept away and is therefore not bending.

 

Bending the spliced section wont weaken it, but it just doesnt sit right.

I was messing around with this system the other day replacing the small sling with a Kong Duck.

Initially I was concered it might interfere with my hitch. Whilst it didnt effect it I still moved it out to the middle hole on the Hitchclimber distancing it from the hitch that little bit extra.

 

Didnt suffer any adverse effects from it and in the small time spent playing around with it worked well.

That looks nice but it makes the system a bit gear intensive again and £40 for a duck and another £10 - £15 for the additional crab is gonna hurt the pocket anyone would think you ran a shop of something just kidding mate but sometimes simple is good.

 

Like Rupes said a simple bit of accessory cord will work fine I kept losing mine and got fed up making a new one from starter cord so thought the cut away would do the bizz although I will probably lose that as well.

There is no "s" on the end of rupe, unless your my mum! Mr Pottsssssssss.

 

See you at the Arb show, might do some climbing if you'll let me.

And theres an R on the end of Pete aswell Potts

 

Incidently it was Phil, Peter refuses to take responsibilty for forcing more gear onto the poor unsuspecting punter:001_tongue:

The duck and rope man both work well there but if you accidentally grab the wrong leg of rope you can advance the hitch a long long way in front of you. This can be pretty sketchy especially if the hitch decides to jot grab...

This help?

 

What is the DMM ring on the vt for?

[DrewB]

Hey bro, Eliminates a bit of sit back and

Twist. Works really good with a short hitch cord but I now use a longer hitch so the ring just kinda flopped to the side..
