  21. I just brought a hitchclimber setup from honey bros, I've been climbing on a prusik for the past for years and I was always unsure about changing. I absolutely love the hitch climber I have only been using it a few days and I am finding things so much easier I have a 12.5mm climbing rope so I went for the 10mm eye to eye and it grips well. Check out my post "new toys arrived" for a pic.
