for my sidestrop i just use a basic blakes with a pulley, it will self tend and is cheap.

Only one for now, I dont have one in green though, so I may have to buy another!

 

well i have 2 but both in green

but only one is CE marked

i really like cinch although it does work better with 10mm which restricts you to herkulees or honey bee which are basically the same ropes in different colours

it,s a bit sticky with 11mm

and 10 mm does seam a bit thin at first

i have a distel and pulley on my sidestrop... cheap compared to other methods but still easily adjustable one handed

The cinch is way better than a positioner IMO. I've had a positioner but gave it away when I got the cinch. It works more like a knot and pulley set up, it releases under tension much better, you can do micro adjustments much better, its work on single line so you can girth hitch you lanyard on a stem and use the cinch along the whole lenght in single line set up (the positioner can't do that) and I think its cheaper! And its green!

isc mini rope grab only 30 quid, light compact and dose a top job.
