Best 100 quid you will spend. I just got a roperunner and its wicked good.

 

Matty I also just got an epple hook, and I like your configuration.

I've met a few people going back to a hitch because of the rope wrench.

I have Rope Wrench and Bulldog Bone, not a full time climber, mostly gardening, but getting into it. For a full time climber I don't see even 4 or 5k in climbing gear as a massive investment. For the sake of a few hundred quid if you can save a strain injury, or increase productivity.

 

Since getting the bone, I haven't used the Wrench. It does work well, but the bone is more compact - only one thing to connect and no hitch to wear out.

Quite right , but i've known new climbers to go bankrupt within 6 months.

Funny gut feeling about this.

Mines a lot longer , I have three different settings on it, the tightest is for ascent , this is a work position that I will just clip back on for coming back off long limbs and helps keep the rope tending and the wrench and hitch from dangling by my knees.. A tight setting is a lot better for ascent but if it's a bit looser and your say dead wooding it saves a few seconds than un clipping it to make just one cut.

If your climbing on a hitch hiker or bone I think again the optimum tether will be different , mine didn't work at all well with the HH or bone but a sling did , I just did not feel comfy with the sling and found it got in the way and restrictive.

I suppose though no same climber is going to be on the exact system or what suits one is not going to suit another so your best too get out and try.

What about clipping directly in the t-shirt.
