Some HO pictures of a Pine we did...

I had a pinto pulley and useed a biner for a link. Now I have a DMM Bat rigging plate. 3 connection points for Ddrt and Wraptor. Or M config.
And I do not use an over the shoulder thing for my HH. I tether the bat plate to the double handled ascender. It advances fine in this fashion.

Stephen, something to think about. When you attach you Hitchhiker to a toothed ascender you turn the toothed cam into your primary point of attachment. In the West in particular we can run into an opportunity to have our anchor fail. ( 3 times for me so far) It is not too far off to fall 9-10 feet which is plenty enough force for a toothed cam to debride a rope, particularly a 24-strand and some kernmantles. Not good.

It is something that concerns me Dave, I will be changing over to some other tending set up in the near future. Rainy day project....

Next time I visit , I'll have to teach you to make a face cut the right way

What didn't you like about the face cut?

A Screamer is worth incorporating, perhaps. I need to put one in my system. Leg propulsion, leave the arms for work. A Wraptor attachment point on your rigging plate could be really nice, eh? How do you connect your systems.

Wow, great pics Stephen.
HO cleanups are probably my favorite jobs.....
How is that small rig plate on your bridge working? I love mine, having three attachment points gives many options.
When you get a helmet cam you will love it. It gives a great point of view to evaluate your work.
Mine has been a huge help to me.
