It surely is not the perfect answer but I have never had it come completely off during a climb. I do however have a small tether on it in case it does.

I was just at a conference that had an SRT presentation. I had the RR the BDB the UNI and the HH all there for climbers to try. Those that climbed on my properly tuned HH instantly recognized its superior attributes. The HH is not only indestructible but is capable of superb performance.

Nice job! Have you tried that with a knee ascender also? By the way, I have used other newly developed multi-senders since that time and have not changed my opinion of the HH and the setup being used. It rocks!

Tim, that is a very clever setup. Be careful though, you have a lot going on with the way you have it. Have you tried the HH carabiner in the middle hole or the top hole and the bridge carabiner in the bottom hole?

If the tether doesn't capture the carabiner, when you pull up on the tether the carabiner will not release. You will most definitely feel that extra drag. Even with a pulley under the HH the carabiner will move up first when tending.

The bollard is at the pivot point of the top link. Just pull the cotter pin to change it.

Scott, mine has been altered quite a bit and is not for sale. Contact Gordon he is called "surveyor" here.

Sean, it is midline attachable and you can change the bollard so it will work on different sized rope.

I have not tried the Oar but Gordon's new compact Bulldog Bone is a legitimate contender.

Wow! That is some fancy rope. The RW is a great tool, smooth and simple. It has a strong following for a good reason. After using the HH though I got spoiled with not having anything along side or above my hitch. I also found after adding the pulley under the HH that they were equal in slack...

Yes they do. But I'm talking about an outward force. When folks are using the pinto on their bridge ring for slack tending the HH there is not enough load applied to matter. However if they clip into the becket for DdRT there is plenty of force potential. This force is not trying to squeeze...

I know that those pinto pulleys are strong and all but anyone using them for life support off the bottom of the HH carabiner needs to be aware that it is like side loading a carabiner. Because when force is applied the outward slope on the carabiner at that angle is forcing the pulley sides...

I use short pieces of bigshot tubing for trapping carabiners on many things. I have not found them to work for the HH carabiner. There is not much space left around the sides of the HH after the carabiner is installed. If you try to force too much material in that space things will not slide...

Sean, if you are using a pulley under the HH that is your slack tending point. For single line rope walking just clip a chest or shoulder harness into the bridge ring. Used with a foot and knee ascender this works great. For DdRT same thing, just clip the other end of your climbing line into...

I have been using the small 8mm cord loop with a thimble from Sterling. Even with the thimble it stows well and is still rated at 5400lbs.

Yes you do loose some efficiency when using a revolver compared to a pulley, but it is a 3:1 haul back system so even at reduced efficiency it is still easy.

Jake, have you tried a small prusik loop with a revolver carabiner? I know it is not as compact as the Tibloc but it is a lot more rope friendly.

Shaun, I am using the red ISC fixed side plate pulley with a DMM bridge ring but I also have a Petzl fix pulley that I am pretty sure will fit without bending. You may notice that I cut my pulley because it is a pain to take on and off otherwise, but it does work.

Haha! Yes, most certainly my friend, and if the feeble old mind had been drifting a bit, it will bring it right back to the moment at hand. I also agree with having just one leg of your work line down the trunk if at all possible. I use base ties a lot and always look for ways to keep the...

No videos but shooting over the tree works well when needed as long as you keep your head on what you are doing. I use it a lot and not just on evergreens. I have even used two trees to get the support I need. Getting a high tip is worth doing a little head scratching. It helps to have an...
