I too came from mechanical (Lockjack) and it took a while to get used to using a hitch again and having faith in it.

A mechanical will always grab but a hitch may not and a year later, I still get nervous about it.

I miss the Lockjack but I really don't miss climbing DdRT.

Dan Curtis, Ian Flatter and I all climb on the unicender. We have all used the rope wrench too and I think Ian is on the hitch hiker now. Adam Bourne also uses the HH and used to be on the wrench

Glad to hear you are rocking the Uni too now Jack!! The self tending on spikes is a thing of beauty. Who needs a foot ascender :)

indeed, can't wait to get some cougar blue !

 

One of the fellas I have been working with recently got hold of a hank of cougar blue, best rope for the wrench he has tried. so i assume it'll rock on the Uni.

Reviewing the Hitch Hiker, still dont think anything has came close to working a stem on spikes than the uni.

Cougar blue. Although, Ive heard of some issues with reliability of the quality of some hanks... Uni is king for spikes :D Either that or tie your saw onto the line spike above it with wrench/hh whatever, then pull it back up to you :)
