Swivel with Lock Jack

[John Paul Sanborn]

It's a $300 improvement on a friction hitch.

If you have the money and climb every day it is worth the investment.

Like like if all you do is tall trees, Mar-Bars are the way to go. If you do them now and then, then ascenders and footlocking

John,

Really, [only] a $240 alternative

I don't think I'll be going with mar-bars. No inch-worming for me, thank you. The only tall trees I climb are removals, so I have the spikes.

So, the LJ allows you to hoist yourself up the rope and the rope just falls through, right? No tending of knots on the way up?

Also, i've seen a LJ SPORT and I guess just the regular LJ. What's the difference?

The real deal in the ART products is the positioner. That is way cool tool.

Seen the clear LJ? Friederich Drayer had them.

Clear LJ?

As in, see through?

Hubert had the new sheave for the Rope Guide in Montreal. A nice little, sealed roller bearing unit. Stainless sheave and cheekplates I believe.
