Spider jack/lock jack/ hitch climber

[Barry_Skyland]

Hey everyone I climb on a hitch climber thinking about a change of climbing system. Like the idea of the spider jack any advice would be good better still would be any videos of them in a work environment.

Thanks gary

 

Hi Gary,

 

Before you buy a Spiderjack I would suggest you try and have a go of one first, they are a brilliant piece of kit but take some mastering, ascending is not the problem it's the descending which if you master it you will love it but if not you will fly out of the tree pretty quickly!

 

Cambium savers give them a bit more friction than pulleys which isn't a bad thing, good luck with your choice and as alot of people here are suggesting also try the Zigzag, keep your options open
