Very cool I need to graduate to a setup like yours grendel. Does the Prussic have to be connected to the bottom of the pulley or is it preference?

 

[mikethemountain]

Oh I see it grendel. awesome! Cheers!

Wow, great photos Mike

So, whats your background? Thanks

 

[Bermy]

Ahhh, isn't it divine to just twirl your finger and be slowly raised and lowered with no effort...bliss.
Sorry Mike, another thing about the House, we are the MASTERS of the derail,

Back to you mate

 

[Husabud]

Hella top Mike! Welcome to the House. Like anything else, low and slow with whatever you chose for a new hitch. Once you step away from the Blake's, the possibilities are nearly endless and somewhat effortless.

Well I grew up in yosemite moved to humboldt and been here ten yrs. Ive been climbing for about five yrs for multiple companies.

Like, in the Park, or is their a town Yosemite? Either way, sounds like a sweet spot for an outdoor loving kid to grow up

 

[cory]

Grendle, which do you like better as a hitch tender, the HC or the pinto?

 

[Husabud]

Yeah, which do you prefer? I am totally happy with my HH, but did enjoy the HitchClimber.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I feel sorry for old unwanted HitchClimbers, will provide a home.

Grendle, which do you like better as a hitch tender, the HC or the pinto?

I like the HitchClimber Cory, overall. They both do basically the same thing, and on a lanyard, I prefer the Pinto, as everything is captured and compact (legs of the hitch cord are held inside the walls of the pulley body). The HC is not as tidy on a lanyard, but takes the cake on the climb line. Honestly, I use both interchangeably, but the HC is just so elegant if you put me to it that is what I would choose.

Thanks, good info.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The Pinto is super smooth...

I grew up in Mariposa but easier to say yosemite considering my house was one mile from park. Im spoiled not $ but locations.
