Make sure you are not just pulling on the black lever. Need to use the brake lever as well. Will be a lot smoother if you do. Can fully release the mechanism but use the brake to control descent. You will get used to it the more you use it.

Yeah have watched the spiderjackery vid and said on there on the importance of using both.

[taffupatree]

Is a must really when using the SJ. Will help prolong the life of the device as well as being better for you. Not sure what cambium/friction saver you use?

[mark_goldfinch]

Just use a pulley saver.

I've just gone back to the cinch after 6 months on the positioner and it's nice to be back on the cinch as I found the ART pos a little bit too jumpy but does sit very well at all times on the harness when getting into various work positions.

The positioner I love but still finding descending on the spider hard to control . But sure I will get there.

[mark_goldfinch]

Just had a solid 5 hours on the spider. Think I'm there with the control of it and I'm loving it!

You got there in the end...now it will be second nature to you.

[mark_goldfinch]

Hopefully Paul. Iv taken to this much quicker than I did on the hitch climber when I first tried that I hated it and stuck it back in my kit bag for about six months. Can't see it happening this time. .

can you use the positioner as a second climbing line if that makes sense, using your lanyard as a second line?
