Hitch Hiker and Lockjack

[Paul Smith]

Has anyone tried it with an LJ or SJ? Would it even work?

No it doesn't need anything else, It's a self contained device. For example the RW relies on a hitch to work on a single line.

Thought the HH is used below the hitch instead of above like the RW? Going to look for pics now!

You have me confused! It must use a hitch, it doesn't have a clutch like an LJ. Would the LJ or SJ work in place of the hitch?

The hitch is a working part of the device - if you removed it the dog bone (bar the hitch is attached too) would not on the rope

I suppose it could work instead of the hitch but why.

Anyway, the dog bone is attached to the hitch and the dog bone applies pressure to the climbing rope.

To use a LJ you would have to attach it to both ends of the dog bone and the dog bone would not be held in place securely enough.

 

My comment that the HH is a self contained unit, i meant that the metal parts and the hitch cord are designed together to work without anything else. Anything else introduced to the system would corrupt the design and functionality.

Same could be said for the wrench, that's a self contained unit where the hitch cord and metal parts are designed to work together I mean you don't need a pulley to have the system work it helps.

I see, perhaps it would help if I'd actually seen one in the flesh!🙈

I think old mill means that the cord is actually part of the HH Ewan . The wrench can be attached to any primary friction device, the HH can only be attached to a close mounted closed hitch.....

Blimey, Ewan's got it in for me.

He's after me on every thread!
