Rope for a hitch climber!

It'll be like climbing up a telegraph pole

Speaking from experience, Rich?

[RichieR]

Only joking Joe . Honestly it's like climbing on old baler twine

Same question again

 

I'm sure I'll get on with it fine. I've climbed on 11mm for so long now it's all I'm used to. Bought out my old 13mm XTC for a play and it was horrible with a VT!

[RichieR]

I'll be serious for 5 seconds! I had the teufelberger 11.5 mm and the HC is a real treat on it but instead of using a VT I used a Swarbisch. I picked up the 11.5 Argiope to use my Zig zag on it but I think I'll go back to my HC

Did those 5 seconds hurt?

 

The Schwabish looks horrible! Can't imagine that releasing easily, though I've never tried it mind.

 

Not getting on with the ZZ?

If you tied the vt on 8mm and 3-2 I used to find it self tended well with the weight on xtc ,but after been on 11mm it's a heavy rope to haul around especially if your re routing all the time like on a reduction or big dead wood but then the draw back to 11 mm ropes and ddrt is I found wearing gloves was the only way to get grip on the rope.

Yes they did hurt ! It can bind a bit you just take the weight off a bit and its good to go. One good point though it really feels safe as houses. As a newbie to climbing it gives me lot more confidence than the ZZ

Hi Richie

 

Well worth persevering with the ZZ IMO . I've had mine nearly a year now and I love it. I've put my hitch climber on my side strop with a VT. It's a great combo.

I have to give it another chance
