Spiderjacking is just like Mariokart

[Alex S]

So I've been climbing on a Spiderjack for almost a month now and the best metaphor for using it is that it's like playing Mariokart; it appears to be very simple at first - it's easy to pick up, really, really good fun, but the more you do it the more you realise that there are layers and layers of skill to uncover before you've really mastered it.

 

Anyone else agree?

[Lancstree]

Totally. Good analogy. I've been passing on some techniques and told him feed it slow and small bites until it gets more hungry!

yes. I did it on a fork not using a friction saver. it was when i first got it and i had to replace the rope. Always use friction management when descending fast!!

If Spiderjacking is Mario carting, then Hitchclimbing is Gran Tourismo
