A suggestion in case you make another run of these... You recommend changing the position of the dogbone to distribute wear. It would be useful having the ends of each side of the bone marked to keep track of position. Maybe "A" and "B". That gives four possible orientations to distribute wear...

Got to tryout the HH today. Works great! Everything works smoothly, and using the bridge mount as a tending point works well. The only thing I'm undecided about is the friction plug. It works very well, but I can get similar results feathering the hitch to drop at a controlled speed. Probably...

I seem to favor static ropes. Since I got into all this, I've pretty much been climbing 100% on ½" KM3. I have a brand new hank of xtc I haven't even climbed on yet, but when I tried someone else's, I found the stretch annoying. I also have a bunch of short length ropes I've done microclimbs on...

Hmm... This is the Vega from Marlow's page... This is Escalator from at-height.com... and this is what I have...

Got it today... Nice package of stuff. The sample rope the sample hitch was tied on interests me. Has a nice hand feel. It's teufelberger escalator. I'm gonna do some reading on it, and I may pick some up. Also, I've been wanting to try 8mm ocean, and that was one of the included cords, so...

Operating a slicpin isn't a big deal, and retying my bridge isn't the worst thing in the world either. I have a couple saddles I use, and it would be more convenient having the whole unit completely portable, but I can work with the eye "permanently" installed on my primary saddle.

Ordered. Kept going back to the captive eye, so I think that's the one that was meant to be.

So, which one? Been thinking I want a hitchhiker for awhile, wesspur's sold out of the HH2, and that leaves this. I'm not a professional, so my concerns about the aluminum probably don't matter. I'll likely be dead before I wore one out. If not, it probably lasted well enough that I got my money...

How does the performance compare to steel? Seems like it might not grab as hard.

That's what I figured. Just a placeholder to show "This is what a HitchhikerXF looks like"

Oh, so it's just a bonus pulley? Cause the configuration shown on the site would just roll back and forth on the bridge.

So, what do you all think; HitchHiker2 or XF? A concern of mine with the new one is the moveable aluminum parts rubbing against each other. Doesn't seem as robust as steel.

Still not sure I get the idea of having a pulley on the bridge. Reduces friction, but is friction a problem?

What's with the omni block configuration? How is that used?
