The unsubtle throat noise was more aimed at the fact that Wee Dee & I posted upon your rack thread, I was just sad you think our offerings equate to nothing more than a "no one"

Never really thought of using the rack . Will it be up to every day use so to speak . I,m thinking of using the cinch as a postioner and as suggested a srt choked off for descend from a pole when chogging down if needed .

[Rupe]

So, what use would the rack be?

[Will Hinchliffe]

Bob, have you tried the system that allow you to move your friction away from you? It uses a hitch climber and ropeman, I don't know if it has an official name though.

 

They calls it the O rig

Forget the rack Ive seen the light and mines green the cinch that is . Its like starting all over again . It came this afternoon . When I got in it was back out and to the park with my 8oz throw sack and line . Just enough light to have about 17 rappels . Its nicer on 11mm I think for descending and 9mm is quite fast but still easy to control . My petzl pulleys came also but I,ve being having so much fun on the cinch will check them out over crimbo .:lol:

Or "floating Prussic" (Hitch Climbers Guide...)

ive been ascending using the 'o rig' with a small 8ml prussik instead of the ropeman. it works fantastically. luvely and smooth.

Are you mostly going to be using it for a lanyard adjuster? Thats its best use IMO, then chokered on the stem for chogging if you like it that way.

Your spot on there Rupe . Overall this is probably the best use for the cinch .

 

Still would,nt mind your advice on the distel ,pulley set up and probably a few other things . The distel and pulley I presume that would be nearly the same as the blakes pulley set up. Oh have a good Christmas and thanks for the help given and offered .:thumbup:

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO AT ARBTALK .

What kind of pulley? Many ways of using the Petzl fixe, not really like any blakes set up though I don't think.
