The latest, greatest 2:1 hauling kit

Anybody use the grivel vlad for this? |

Cock a Dooooooodle Doooooooo Ah Quinn….. I’m ashamed I succumbed to you degeneracy!!! |

Quinn’s idea is more novel than useful. Sure, you can do it that way but you’ll have to thread the whole of your docking cord through the ring rather than opening a gate.

hello everyone I did a little recreational hauling last month with my 2:1 Cric set up, and it went well! Easy to switch to a 1:1 with the same item also. Does anyone else have any use and reviews? edit: I have it on the down-strand as a tractor/pulley to replace the Basic. |

I'm interested to hear the results of your testing with the cric, Skot. Weight wise its about the same as basic + partner + carabiner. (Or the cric is heavier if you swap out the biner for a bit of cord) The biggest advantages I'd see are the distance from pulley to grab, which means you've got less distance to reach for resetting, which could result in some efficiency gain in the movement, and just less faff from pieces flopping around during setup. One tiny downside is a bit of a drop risk in that rigging it on and off the rope opens the pulley connection as well. But it seems one doesn't have to open the plate all the way so it shouldn't be too bad. I haven't seen any specs regarding the pulley efficiency on the Cric. Do we know how it compares to the 91% efficiency on the partner? |

The CRIC is much shorter than the pulley, biner & basic combo. im not too worried about the efficiency of the pulley. It’s a sealed cartridge bearing so its high quality. The most important pulley is the top pulley so even if the pulley is less ‘efficient’ than the top pulley it’s not a concern of mine. I’ve done a tiny amount of trying it out in the shop but as we all know the real test will be in the spring on the captain. No amount of garage / backyard hauling provides the same feedback as actual wall hauling. The CRIC seems very well made, the fit and finish of it is nice. Minor consideration regarding the drop potential given it needs to be opened up to insert the haul line, but only time will tell. |

Bump on this thread. Skotswallgear.Com cheers. |

Hi all! I read through the thread and didn't see a lot of people using other swivel pulleys on their system. I saw Petzl makes one called the Spin (S1 and L1). Does anyone have any experience using one of these instead of a CMC or RockExotica one? I've got a Petzl ProDeal so this would be significantly more cost efficient. |

alright, my first post here. be gentle. I'm learning and i'm late to the party. Is there a reason to have the petzl basic ascender on this system if i already have a jumar on my person for jugging? is this for efficiency and not needing to move it over? |
