friction saver

any thoughts about using this setup to reduce friction in my climbing system

weird, you have the same cambium saver and pulley and the same idea as me! but a diff cs in this pic, works a treat, only problem is you have t go back to the top to retrieve, but saves a hell of alot of pulling,

im going to get a swivel tho....

the way ive set it up means its retrieveable.is that the petzl pully. the one in my picture is made by isc. i use the petzl one to advance my friction hitch

[vduben]

oh yeah!!!!!! hehe

im gonna try what youve done, how does it work going through the eye and the pulley?

Nice use of the shackle there. I may have to try that out sometime.

Nice, but not a patch on the rope guide!

I use a similar set-up, it works good but like peter says not as good as a rope guide.

 

I'd use the petzl pulley on the cambium saver, and use the ISC pulley for your hitch that way you can tie one end of your friction cord on to the tab which is load rated on the ISC pulley for this purpose, works really good with a VT.

and most folk could fasion it up with there already exsisting kit
