    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    I agree, Jamie is definitely onto something with the hand over hand technique. :D As I said, I've only been able to get in a handful of climbs, but the more I use it the easier it gets. Seem to be able to ascend very quickly with this setup. Of course fine tuning it is also a huge help. I used...

    Do you have any pics? I'd like to see that setup.

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    I think that's one of the first "working" videos I've seen with the HH. Hope to see some more.....

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    Was able to get a climb in after work today. I set a rope 50ft up in an Oak in my back yard. Climbed all the way up with no problems, no stops. Still have some adjustments to make to the setup but the "tweaks" I'm making are helping. I'm using a loop runner over my shoulder to advance the HH.

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    I tried it that way and it worked pretty slick, but the one thing I noticed was the extra effort for my arm and shoulder using the hand loop to advance the HH. Not being critical or anything like that but, being brand new to SRT, not being in "peak" physical condition(and a little "older") I...

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    On the few climbs that I've done (with the HH) the 3:1 set up is great, makes it a WHOLE lot easier to ascend a short distance without a whole lot of effort. I used it pruning the top out of that Oak I just did 'cause it was the only way I could think of to carefully climb the tree without...

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    Thanks for the welcome, ayuh, I did climb all the way with the rope over that branch. I was VERY fortunate that it held. No, I wasn't testing the HH at night, the camera made it look a lot darker than it really was. I took these pics about a month ago when the sun was setting at around 4:20...

    Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    I'm new to the site, and VERY nearly just as new to SRT. The Hitch Hiker is the reason I found this sight, was trying to find information on it, reviews etc. I stumbled onto a video on You Tube(Jamie's?)and I could see right away the advantages of using it for tree work. I'm "tweaking" the set...
