Thanks B! I just re-read this thread, looks like I got the HC this time last year. It only took me a year of fooling around with it to get to the stripped down version:)

New twist on an old theme. I've seen this done with a ropeman, and an extra 'biner. I just added a slipknot, and ran the spliced end of my rope through my swivel..

my basement is still a mess:)

lol, you did get it from tophopper! :/: I read it in the beginning of this thread:lol:

I get it now. I toyed with a microscender and a length of prussic cord as an adjustable linc but found it to be too much gear.

if I'm understanding it correctly the "hitch biner" could just go directly onto the bridge next to the sling biner.

easy enough to put 'em side by side....

you know we love pics Nick! I was trying to switch mid air, tuff to do!

definately takes some time to get it dialed in. I've had a few scares myself:) With the tachyon and bee line it works much better than the fly and tenex. I use a distal hitch, which also helpls grab more. I'd like to see that system you are describing

Best practice, though not completely necessary.

It works greak for big prunes with lots of up and down and long limbwalks. Its sort of a version of Beddes' "secret weapon" just a little more functional in everyday work IMHO.

Just have to be on a limb or something to put a little slack in the system and unhook (or hookup).

no hinderances yet.....

Its always there but by girthing it onto the bottom it stays out of the way when I want to move my fh closer to me by hooking up to the upper part of the swivel. Make sense? sometimes hard to explain even with pics..

it does that but it is there because when 'let out' I can thrust by hand over handing while the hitchclimber advances my hitch.(see first two pics)

yup, about four. I think if it was too short the spliced end of the climbing line would intefere with the hitch.

Thats actually the hitch I was complaining about. I taped the eyes smaller, then dipped 'em in liquid electricians tape, all good now!

I like the M hollywood, gonna give it a go tomorrow. Here's my hitchclimber with the new tachyon and beeline, definately looks better, and more importantly works better:D

speaking of bad splices. I bought a beeline fh that had two eyes that flop around on the biner. why would anyone sell stuff like that?

no, it stays taught because there is no "slop" in the system8)
