Rope Runner


Recommended Posts

Won't be available for quite a while. My goal is 2014. This device is only for SRT. I cant honestly say its better than a hitch and rw. Just different. mechanical Which has inherent problems. I personally believe the hitch will always reign supreme in arbwork. This may be used by industrial workers possibly? Actually this came out of trying to design an rw specific tether and tender, an all in one package. I have been climbing on it since December. I will keep everyone posted on developments. I made this video more than a month ago, I couldn't keep it myself any longer.

 

I have climbed with the rw for over 2 years now and see a lot of possibilities with the rope runner. If it is at all possible I would love to demo this and give feedback. I also work with 3 other guys who climb srt in various ways. I could give you more information if you think this is a possibility.

Im happy to hear that you are working on a bonafide tether for the wrench. Its only half complete without it. I think it needs a sprung connection to scoop the wrench into semi engaged mode and of course must not have a collapsing attachment - karabiner - so fixe' and hitch climber's must be catered for. Please keep focusing on this Kevin (and not new tools yet!!)

Great job again Mr. Bingham! I am sure you will figure out the all in one package on the RW. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Can't help feeling that's an impossible task. I've had 3 different tethers in my system already....! I think that in the same way we supply the hitch cord, the tether can't form part of the wrench package either and needs to come from the user....:001_smile:

Because hitches are so variable, an all in one package for the rw is a tricky quest. I personally like a 10 inch tether with a short hitch for instance. My friend likes a 15 inch tether and a long hitch. Like Worc wuss said, I am not sure a rw specific tether and tender is possible without overcomplicating the wrench. The beauty of the wrench is its simplicity. If your going to complicate it... Than lose the hitch. Hence the rope runner. Springing the wrench is quite easy with a stiff tether and a bumper.
