Ropetek Hitch Hiker

[PCTREE]

Hey SSt, sorry its too big, material is tool steel so good luck filing it... Angle grind the edge closest to the rope, don't change the angle of the outer edge as that is crucial and make sure when you are done that all edges are bur free as it will trash the rope otherwise.....

This is the prototype pin that I sent to Paul. I hopefully will be able to refine the concept a bit. The Dog Bone works well though so Probably not necessary for this application. (by the way Paul, clean out your PM box)

Hey Kevin, I am to seeing it on YouTube. It just says it is not available.

Thanks! I think that may make those with sewn or spliced eyes happier than tyeing. I am not testing , only reading so I am not the best opinion though.

Slick.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Super slick.


Would that qualify for two distinct actions two open, and mean minimun strength requirements?


Super slick.

Had to say that twice.

PMs cleared, like I already told you Kevin I love that pin....

 

[PCTREE]

maybe it could be called the "Slick Pin"

 

[SkwerI]

Paul, if you want to know why your PMs keep backing up, it's because your 'sent items' file is full.

Click that and delete some of those.

Just found this thread. Can't believe that I missed it before. Love the Hitch Hiker tool Paul. Sorry that I haven't had a chance to read through all of these 29 pages yet, but I will.

I was wondering is the Hitch Hiker available for purchase yet?

And Kevin, where can I get one of those "Double slick pins" for my Rope Wrench?

Thanks,
Chris

Today we conducted some very analytical tests and concluded that a 5 wrap prussic works equally well for a 40lbs or a 170lbs climber....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahaha!!! Great researching!

Hey look..... It's Tarzan and Tarzan Jr.

Nicely done

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Sweet.

I always like seeing what people really look like, when not far away from the camera in a tree, and covered in ppe.

Paul,
Smart of you to use a real expert in destructive-testing to verify the integrity of the HH...
