Alternative to the ART Rope Guide?

[Plymarb]

Can anyone let me know their opinion of the ART Rope guide? And if they can suggest a similar alternative to this?

[silky fox]

Art ropeguide is a really well crafted and workable fricton/rope/cambium saving device that's for sure...an alternative and my favourite is the Teufelberger pulley saver.

Unlike Silky, I far prefer the art rope guide to the pulley saver. Its a better finished product IMO

I find mine great, use it every time I climb, simple to use and remove from the ground after a climb, the best thing I have purchased and well worth the money.

Silky , do you retrieve your pulley saver from the ground after ever y climb, I've the cocoon on mine and I've given up trying

It's not exactly news that using a frictionless anchor increases wear on the hitch cord.

 

A pulley at the top doesn't remove friction from the system, more displaces it from the anchor point to the hitch (it has nowhere else to go).

 

Sure, your hitch cord will wear quicker (unless you use a tough cord like AP) but your rope will likely last longer, never mind your body!

 

Also I wouldn't have been that happy about my anchor point in that tree!
