Sorry to hear. Hope for a full recovery and something learned for the rest of us.

Yes, it is my lanyard. The versatility and quick on an off and ability to reverse the direction works for me. Of course I use the Drum Kit to add wear resistance, smoothness and the function of 'soft lock' in the control mode (rope wrapped to squeeze the friction blocks together) Sure, it adds...

I constantly use both. While we are on this discussion, IMO it is very important to understand that with a doubled moving rope your climbing device will self tend, probably obvious, BUT it will also self orient and stay configured. When climbing single stationary rope your device will not self...

I use a foldable SAKA and just clip it on the back of my harness.

Guilty as charged but with a little explanation. My videos are not well done, I am not a video guy and only learned what I needed to share ideas I came up with about climbing. There was no organization to them because I did not know what was coming next. I only felt a desire to share what...

I would be happy to offer a complete refund of the 255.00 purchase price if it is indeed unused. Simply send it to me and I will issue the 100% refund. That goes for anything I sell, if buyer gets it and changes their mind, send it back.

Good perspective and I totally agree. I don't often used the eXtra friction, as you mentioned long descents is great. The other thing is to be able to add that friction if for some reason you have to add an additional load, (climber). The way my hitch is tuned, if I add an additional load, it...

Thank you for this post, I think it is important that one knows the hitch cord in use. I have it listed as such on the purchase page but thought it should also be in the user manual. So I added that page to the manual, again, thanks for the input...

You indeed have Escalator, it is a very static rope.

The climbing line is retired Marlow Vega, very static and super low cover/core slip. That is important to me as I climb with a sewn eye on each end of my line. I'll never repel off the end using some weird technique that uses lots of rope. Most other lines would send a bubble to the end. The...

I used to be very active doing and learning Yoyo tricks, never as good as many but learned and enjoyed them. Most think it has to do with climbing so probably a bad choice, but life does have its ups and downs and I have had my share, so maybe it fits.

Do you have a rope bridge? Will it be your primary device during a climb? My recommendation is to put the captive on your rope bridge and leave it there. It is not much more that leaving a ring on your bridge. Get used to removing the SlicPin, it is not a big deal because of the form factor...

I have not been here for a few years but thought I would answer any questions if asked. First of all the HHxf is not trying to compete with the HH that came before, it is more of an alternative or another choice. A fine distinction I know but I hope that the original HH will always be there and...

Latest video on SAKA and other ways Yes, so many ways to configure a knee ascender, or even mis-configure a Self Advancing Knee Ascender. Last video points some of this out. SAKA: https://youtu.be/9Z-wZ5Vyvio
