Nice video Drew, I love a good straightforward job like that, unfortunately every tree I get always has sheds, houses, fences etc under them.

Is zan using a unicender? Does he rate it?

[DrewB]

swears by the unicender, especially the black one:)

[Joe Loggs]

Yea it looks sweet, iv seen all the fuss about the rw but the unicender just looks like such a smarter package. I'm used to the sj so moving onto another mechanical device just makes sense. Did he get it from sherrils

[DrewB]

nah bro Treetools | life in trees i think.

personally i think the rw and hitch is safer than the uni but thats just personal preference, ive got years climbing on a hitch and it just feels right.

[Joe Loggs]

What don't you find safe about the uni?

[DrewB]

a/tiny branch hits the top and it freefalls

b/ rope can come out of it

c/ too much rope in control mode and it just keeps going.

BUT if i spent more time on it i might realise that all those reasons kind of fade away through changing how i climb. I also think that if rock exotica put a guard on the top to stop branches activating it and a gate on the bottom to stop the rope coming out of it these problems would disappear. BUT a lot of my friends run the uni and they absolutely fly and no ones had any failure yet. each to there own, i just like the feeling of hitches.

[Joe Loggs]

Fair enough drew. Thanks for the info. Hopefully il get the chance to try one out soon.

Drew, nice job. Why didn't you fell it and what was the throw line doing doing up there? Did you get the throw bag stuck like I did today!!?
