Yes it does and is. Set up this way, the HH just glides up the rope once you find the proper hitch/rope combination. For me that is 8 mm Armor-prus, 5 wrap falling to 4 HH hitch on Vortex.

Here you go. You don't need to go through all the trouble of cutting a hook into one to make it work. I was just having problems taking it on and off in the tree, for redirects when needed. You'll notice I am not using the plastic tether for advancing the HH but I have left it on as it does a...

Yes, it is a CT and I like it better than the old Pantin. I can't comment on the new one as I have not tried it. Everything about the CT is high quality and well thought out. That fat Vortex line runs through it just fine and the lock is great in my opinion.

This is the most perfect climbing system I have ever used.

It would definitely just be a guess because I have not used those ropes, Burnham, but that combo should produce a sporty or more lively responsive setup.

Yes. Vortex and 8 mm. Armor-Prus make for a good match. AP can be a little fast on some of the stiffer or thinner lines.

The 8 mm. Armor-Prus feels like it was made for the HH. It is just the right size for the holes in the dog bone and the stopper knots tie and adjust easily.

Yes, Burnham. I cut the opening for the hooks just large enough to snap the Fix onto the carabiner, so it tends to stay put once it is on.

There is nothing fancy going on with that pulley. I was just trying out how a swing-cheek pulley would work compared to a fixed side plate pulley. A pulley under the HH makes it tail as smoothly as a Hitchclimber setup. The down side is it is difficult to put on and take off and is one...

That's just a little one I made, Sean.

Sorry this took so long, Pat. It is hard to see but I clip the bungee into a hole in the adjustment buckle of my shoulder harness.

I clip my HAAS bungee to my chest harness. I found that it does not have quite enough stretch left when clipped to my waist belt. Bermy, the reason for running the bungee through a carrabiner on your waist belt and back down to the Pantin was to increase the amount of bungee in the system so...

Wow! There is something south of Dillon? JK :) I'm in the Bitterroot. If your ever up this way give me a shout.

Pat, you have obviously done your homework and picked out some of the very best climbing gear available. I would not recommend using a hand ascender or Croll in conjugation with those tools. Instead play around with the Hitch Hiker low to the ground until you get an understanding of how it...

Hahaha!! Don't fell bad, it is amazing how many people have not noticed that "groove". You are also correct that the reason for it is so you don't have to remove the pin all the way.

I am currently using this pulley on my bridge. It seems to work well and keeps the HH lined up right. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=135&item=763 David

Vortex and 8mm Armor-Prus with the Hitch Hiker is by far my favorite. It is not that it does any one thing so much better with the HH but it's combined attributes tick all my boxes. Dave
