Strange how we are all different, iv used swivels for years now and much prefer them, made a huge difference with a spiderjack especially if your using some kind of pulleysaver, now that I'm on srt I still use it, not sure if it really matters on art though, first I had petzl small now I have dmm small, only thing to watch is they do wear a lot faster than rings. Everyone too there own I guess Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ok so this is what I'm going to run after abit of experimenting, got a "shorty" 65cm hitch spliced up for me by top_rope on eBay, simple distal hitch, not climbed with it yet but feels real smooth, anyone else got experience with distal? Without this forum I was thinking today, so many of us wouldn't have a clue about all this haha Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
