friction saver

[bill]

very nice.

[telhol]

Just looked at the rope guide what a contraption it does just the same as a cambium saver crab and pulley.

 

But its bulky compared to cambium s.

 

can some one tell me why they think its any good

I know someone that got so pi**ed off with his, he left it up a tree.

It is probably the best contraption to come out of the ART stable, far better than a lockjack imo.

 

The pulley gives frictionless climbing and with a VT is probably one of the best set-ups around. I never natural crotch now even on dismantles, as any friction makes it harder for me to climb.

 

Other advantages are being able to adjust its size to fit any limb, even poles.

 

Its purpose designed, so is fairly easy to retrieve, and good qaulity.

 

I will be purchasing one this month.

Apparently he kept getting it stuck in the tree so the last time it happened he couldn't be arsed to climb back up to get it!

Not far from me then, I live in old Berkshire, now Oxfordshire.

 

 

I've know over a dozen ropeguide users, not one of them was dissapointed with it, and most universally agreed its the best piece of gear they own period.

 

Only thing I don't like, is its to nice a bit of kit to be free dropping it on retrieval on tarmac (not advised either). And throwline retrieval is a bit of a pain.

Meh! My cambium saver gets stuck sometimes, single most infuriating thing to happen, especially at the end of the day.

 

I'd still climb up and get it though, and a cabium saver is only 25 quid.
