Aztec, just cuz I like the color.

I did not try it on a climb so can't speak to its functionality in use, but it does fit. The bottom slot on the HH2 is much bigger than the slick pin diameter, and the screw heads that protrude from the sides of the HH2 get bumped a bit. Still, at $35 for a slick pin shackle that also has...

Yes, it is, Chris. I have been using Yale 11.7 line lately and it works well and is lighter. I know that I have posted that picture many times but it is simply the best setup I have ever used, and I have used them all.

So here are my impressions of the HHx from Climbing Innovations. Richard did a good job. A lot of thought and effort went into bringing this to market and it shows in the details. The problem some people have with the carabiner getting crossed up in the lower slot has been completely...

Cut it out, you guys. My hard hat might not fit tomorrow.

Joe, though the pulley does improve slack tending, where it really shines is on the ascent. If set up like pictured with a shoulder harness and used with foot and knee ascender, it is the easiest, nonpower, non-chest roller, ascent system I have ever used.

Have you tried it exactly the way my picture shows? The carabiner does not turn on ascent, the pulley works almost as well as a chest roller, and there is no setback.

On my Hitch Hikers, I use no tending straps or tethers but instead just clip my chest harness into the same bridge ring that is holding the HH. It works perfectly, for me. Others have had trouble with the carabiner turning in the lower slot. Having a D shackle in the lower slot will stop that...

Screw lock Maillons are accepted for life-support, no? I have no real problems with using the slick pin in this configuration. They are referred to as being quad locking as it takes 4 separate actions to open one. I received my HH x from Richard and I think he did a good job and it looks nice.

I have not ordered from them but it looks like Gustharts still carries it. https://www.gustharts.com/climbing-equipment-c1/friction-cord-slings-c22/friction-cord-per-metre-c23/arbpro-9mm-xs9-1-p108

I'm still using some 9mm Arb Pro that I bought a long time ago. Many hitch cords work well with the HH just remember to change to a fresh one when it starts getting finicky. The hitch cords performance goes downhill well before it becomes unsafe to use.

I have no complaints about the HH and HH2. They are incredible tools in both strength and functionality. I have tried several different D shackles and found they were not an improvement for me. The carabiner gives me no trouble, no side loading or noticeable changes in friction, and is bomber...

He mentions and thanks Paul in some discussions. Nowhere near as strong, true, but in this video, it breaks at over 8000lbs so strong enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwcsfcROkXM&feature=youtu.be

Has anyone else seen this? I am assuming that it is with Paul's blessing? Hope so because I just ordered one. https://climbing-innovations.myshopify.com/products/hitch-hiker-x-without-swivaeye
