The HitchHikerXF is a VERY SMOOOOOTH Device.

[@philosborn1840]

Very clever, finding a way of transferring the heat off a friction chord to a metal plug, not unlike a munter or a figure 8. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@philosborn1840 It has its place and it was just too easy and functional not to add.

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Looks like a really functional SRT device. I climb MRS mostly using a ZigZag (SRT with chicane to go up initially). I see the benefits of SRT. Appreciate your love for tree climbing.

I love mine it’s my Primary climbing device love how easy it is to change from double rope to SRT beautiful device

Try a grigri2

The RIT cordage is nice too

Please please please get this CE certified! I would love to use it in Europe!

Im wanting to use the hh2 for drt. Do you have any resources for that? Thanks

[@RichardMumford1]

Sorry, I don't.

[@yamahapeanut44]

@@RichardMumford1 no problem. Thanks for the response.

[@Disciple-of-Jesus-c1]

Have u tried a hitch breaker with it ?

[@chango1344]

Will it be CE approved? Nice Work!!

[@RichardMumford1]

I'll see. Not a huge priority for me and a couple of labs are not returning my requests.

[@chango1344]

@@RichardMumford1 OK! I really like the HH2 but this would be just perfect. Again, very nice work.

[@reubentrapp]

Is there much sitback on the device when ascending? Thanks

[@RichardMumford1]

When ascending there is no sit-back. If a climber only took a step or two then sat back each time, it would not be efficient. The advantage to not having another tending point or having to worry about a carabiner side loading or getting flop with slack in the ascent, is well worth it to me.

[@RichardMumford1]

About sit-back, I find it not to be an issue. I make my ascent then sit back, so a few inches out of 50 feet is not significant. If it bothered my I will take the Swing Arm and move the body up and push the hitch up and illuminate all sit back before I 'sit-back'. What always bothered me is having slack on a carabiner attachment during SRT ascent, sitting back to discover the carabiner is sideways or reversed or moved in some other manner. That is my life support and while an SRT device is being tending, for most climbers, it is slack. Having to use keepers or captive eye carabiners to keep things from being side loaded bothered me. The Swing-Arm is designed to be unaffected by being unloaded. It self orienting, will not go sideways, or have a gate that gets cross loaded.

[@DreIsGoneFission]

How is this different from a normal VR Prusik?

[@neild7971]

The hitch he has chosen or the whole device?

[@JasintoPerez-cu1pb]

To much bs new climbers don't waist your money nothing works like the old fashioned...keep it simple buy a 16 or 12 strand rope don't used fricción savers or rope runner it takes tu much time to set all that bs trust me don't waist your money 😊😊
