"Rupe that comment has made my day . Cheers Paul ."

 

Cool, have fun with it.

 

For what its worth, I made the changes quite slowly at first. I tried every possible advancemnent in climbign that I had missed out on until I had caught up with the VT users, instead of just going in one jump.

 

So to astart with I got a 2 ring cambium saver and played around with self advancing prussik systems (pulley on a clip under the prussik etc etc) And then worked through, distel hitches, shwabish, icicle hitch, helical and VT's.

 

And lanyards, we added pulleys at first with various hitches then positioners came out and now the cinch

 

I have pictures from about 2004 onwards, but can make up any system and take photos if you want. I have all my gear at home over christmas so let me know if I can help.

 

But I'm not suggesting I know it all by any means, but if I can help I will.

Rupe that is proper cool and may well take you up on that offer .

Ive done the pulley thing only with a blakes though . I do fancy the Distel / Shwabish . I,ll take it slow as changing your game at 38 may be like taking the horse to water . Teaching old dogs and all that .

Rupe, I climb (not very often) on a prussik, Id like to add a pulley to that system, like you just described, I know you put the pulley under the knot but what do you attach it to a Krab with?? Will any bit of string do??

 

 

Sorry to sound like such a noob , I should really know the answer A picture would be great if you could put one up at some point mate

But theres no room in the landy for more stuff:thumbdown: . Does sound like a plan though .

 

I,ll buy groundie a bike

Well I'm 39 and a bit, I first starting making a change in 2002, luckily the kit was still basic then but it has evolved very rapidly, its probably a daunting thing to do now but it will be worth it.

 

Climbing competitions would be a good idea if you really want to see someone mastering the VT etc. There is still quite a shortage of decent videos on you tube though which is a shame.

Simplest way would be to use a clip off of a horse lead (like a dog lead clip but bigger) put the ring on the karabiner and clip the clip end to a swivel cheeck pulley. That give good flexibilty to the system and you can advance the prussik in the normal way with the pulley getting in the way.

 

If you were going to use a bit of string then thats fine, but while your at it you could attahc the other end of the string to the splice end of your rope using a prussik, then it would self advance!
