Rope Runner

[Gerbutt]

It does look quite interesting doesn't it Al?!

 

I presume that as it should self tend, you could clip it to your chest harness, then just run up a tree in your spikes without using a lanyard and it'll be ready to catch you if you slip?

Oh ya I have had it out in the feild and have taken it on a few rides

I've found that it doesn't squeeze the water out of ropes which is nice for descending..

yep.. gotta love that. thats why a uni is better than a hitch hiker:001_tt2:

 

RR looks even better.. Uni self tending with the smoothness of a wrench setup and doesnt wear out <3

The Rr is awesome super responsive, unlike the uni it doesn't take ages to get used to it it's pretty easy to get the hang of it

That's a good observation Ger.

 

The reason I'm asking these questions is to try and draw some basic comparisons between the RR and Surveyors OAR Bulldog. He's been working on it for a few years and the RR is obviously a copy of it.

 

I'd be really interested to know if there are any differences in user friendliness and performance.

The oar and the rope runner work by quite different mechanisms. Both the oar and the runner are both heavily influenced by the fundementals of the rope wrench. but yes it is fair to draw comparisons between this and other mechanical devices. It's not the first nor will it be the last. As to availability. I want to hear feedback and adjust where necessary.
