Looks like it's got the potential to be very good. Can obviously see a few similarities

Very Similar...

Some say.........it's been in development for a very long time

Some say.........it was at the AA show but behind closed doors.... ;-)

Some say.........why the hell has in not been designed to be used SRT?

some say it was developed with the help of Victoria Beckam!!! :-0

[Bing!]

Looks like a slightley more complicated Bulldog, basic principle is the same but I suspect the Bulldog is sturdier.

Why could this not be used SRT?

it wasnt designed to be used as such

some say.... they may consider looking into it ;-)

[surveyor]

I found the patent which is dated Dec 2011, and while it is functionally very much the same as my Pulley Rack design, It has not been influenced by mine, because I did not show my design publically until March of 2012. Their patent does not explicitly state that it can be used SRT, but my design definatly can be.

 

IMO the OAR I have shown is more versitle (midline) and has very minimal sitback. Time will tell.

 

Petzl if you are watching, I have another idea kicking around concerning rope devices : )

[mistahbenn]

Whats wrong with just a simple bit of rope eh?

[silky fox]

True...i love my Spiderjack but also love the purity of prussick and rope...
