Srt help!!!

Hitch Hiker would suit you best if that's how you roll because it doesn't need to be detached or changed to switch from DdRT to SRWP.

Neither does a wrench

 

Neither does a Unicender, but to be honest it's not that good in Ddrt unless you have it on a long tether!🙊

It does. If you leave the RW on after switching to DdRT it will be aplying friction to the rope making the system 'stiffer' to use.

 

HH carries on acting as normal.

after i get my gaffer to fire a line up with a big shot and get a rope tied off at the base i ascend with a double hand ascender attached to a croll witch is attached to my harness. and i also use a pantin wen doing this. its bloody harder with out lol then changing to sj or vt

o yer double ended asender+crab+tape loop choked to croll

[Ewan Murray]

you just unclip the wrench fold it over and clip it into the spliced side of your line

If I ever top tie and go to retrieve my line I use a cambium/friction saver to come down Ddrt, I have used the technique that Ewan has said about but I find there is no problem what's so ever leaving the wrench engaged, its actually better for the hitch! Yes it does apply more friction in the system but hardly noticeable when using a pulley in the friction saver

Good point Adam but the question was what device best suits a climber who wants to be able to climb DdRT or SRWP whilst in the tree. The HH works perfectly in both modes while the RW has to be removed from the line in order to work climb on the HC system.

 

I realise it's not a big issue but if I regularly switched from double to single line during a job I'd want the easiest solution, HH is best suited to this.

Anyone see this. It's an American opinion poll but just a point of interest for us all.

 

Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

The only thing that gets me with the HH is that i think the Uni is better and is exactly the same. After seeing Dans i am thinking of spending some pennies and getting one. (Ascent rate was rapid)
