Simplicity of organization is certainly an advantage with the hitchclimber...
One downside of the HC is the need to use it with a tight spliced eye climbline, for safe operation...there are workarounds, but they all are a sad imitation of the proper way to do it.
Who wants to come to Bermuda and splice my climbline...
( I KNOW someone is going to take this completely the wrong way...)I promise to get a spliced line next time Burnham!
BTW, even in the little trees I often climb, where some have comented that it looks like too much equipment, the HC system is soooo much easier and more efficient than any other I tried. I never found the single eye pulley/blakes or distel to tend as easily as the HC. Even without a friction saver, the system works very well.

I could come down and splice that for ya Fiona! Problen is, by my curious nature, I would have to stay around to see how many "cycles to failure" there would be!
The males in my family are kinda weird! It is difficult (understatement) to get us to go on a vacation (had to look up the spelling of that word), and when we get to the destination, we don't want to come home.
With my luck, my plane would disappear in the triangle!
