Hitch Climber Set-Up

[rubidiumstud]

man what a creepy voice

[AMAREUSZ321]

IT.S VERY GOOD

[Zember007]

You don't have to use an eye-to-eye length of friction cord, infact I'd say that they are probably the worst things to use, you generally end up with massive tails (the shorter the tails on your hitch-climber set up the better) and they cost ruinour amount of money, also some friction cord works well with some climbing lines and some doesn't, so buy 1.5 meter lengths, tie two sliding fisherman's knots (one per end) and see which one grips best. Don't spend £20 on friction cord.

What is the advantage of the pulley and extra biners? I just use a prusik and it gives me all the advantages I ever need like a quick split-tail.

WHAT SONG IS THIS!??

It's all so Shiny!!

[MrBradyiscool]

Where can I get a climber pulley

[D7eadnaught]

All the listed parts to set this up arrived yesterday, using a good quality climbing line also, I have watched this video over and over!!!! I have set the system up perfectly nothing out of place and rubber to keep it tidy as mentioned, However I am a bit unhappy with spending £65 pounds on something that will not replace a simple prussik loop which I use to climb ropes! is this system NOT for climbing up ropes,or is it only positioning when in the tree?finding it difficult to pull with power

[D7eadnaught]

Thank you soo much, been wanting to free the prussik slide arm up for ages, surely this will speed up high climbs! top video

[joshuarugg]

where can i find this song???

[kidesqu]

excellent edition !

@THISISLICKFOLD you can move using only one hand

[petzltreeclimber]

@THISISLICKFOLD it just moves the hitch up when u go up

[N3rd133t]

Go buy a Petzl shunt best climbing investment of my life!

[cityforester5333]

@Ohiocuplax This set-up is not for rappelling - is used for moving around and work-positioning in a tree

[maxinpains]

yeah... this is one of cheap for nothing devices to make someone bit richier....

[poetmpk]

@maxinpains : if you have never climbed trees then you will never know how nice this pulley is. if you have and you don't see the advantages of this pulley - i feel sorry for you.

[nataku583]

great idea but i'll stick with my grigri

[bskalak22]

ha ha buy an asscender.

[DPWTF]

You sound just like the guy from Flight of the Conchords

[transsylvaniasaxon]

Hitch climber is a great invention. Nice Vid.

[KemoreJ]

I was climbing oce and this guy was just talking with us and threw in a couple of questions about knots. Two hours later we heard this almighty crash like a boulder falling from the fifty metre cliff! He had tied an ordinary poly rope to a tree (incorrectly) using a knot I had described to him. He tied his son to his chest to abseil together. He had to have both legs amputated because he was holding the weight of both of them when they fell to the ground and his leg bones were shattered.

I use the distal, which uses the micro pulley and caribeener set up. During my climbs I pull I am tied to my rope with a caribeener and I am tied to my pulley set up. This set up looks as if the only thing holding you is the one caribeener.. no thanks.

[ADKYS5555]

always make sure you know what your doing. just cuz u watch a video online dont mean you know how to rappel. DONT DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. THS IS SO YOU DONT KILL YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE SOME NERD WHO THINKS IT WILL BE COOL TO RAPPEL OUT OF A HELICOPTER, BUT YOU WANT PRACTICE, DONT DO IT. GOOD CHANCE THAT U DONT KNOW WHAT U R DOING. IT IS OK, HOWEVER FOR EXPERIENCED CLIMBERS ( YOU KNOW HOW TO LEAD AND HAVE DONE SO, BECAUSE ITS KINDA SIMPLE TO KNOW HOW) DONT BE STUPID, BE SAFE

[Graiskye]

Thanks a lot for a simple explanation and great video example.

[Gorteenminogue]

Excellent.

[metallicalloy]

why is the hitch so far away from the pulley? It seems to cause too much wasted movement.

[seamorelilfoot]

I agree -

[anuvadave]

I prefer having my hitch far away so when i am decending / branch walking it gives me better balance. it does make it annoying if you want to move up just a couple of inches tho.

[Rocksterrr]

Brilliant!
