Just came across this useful pdf, just thought it might be good for those new to the hitch climber. I found the demonstrations and talks at the arb show (last friday) relating to the hitch climber really helpful - whoever that chick was she knew her shizzle! Went for a reccy this weekend with my new found hitch-climber knowledge and had a blast.

Hmmmm... I tried setting up as per pic 2 / 3 a while ago and found it didn't work.... pulling down on the tail to placed as much load onto the prusik on the standing end as acted on the tail resulting in deadlock....

I've since discovered that Josephine Hedger (2010 ITCC Women's World Tree Climbing Champion) was doing the demos. Massive thanks to you Josephine. :thumbup1:

 

She also won 2012 uk I tcc if I'm not mistaken.
