Bryce’s take:
A great pulley to use in a hitch climbing set up.
Features:
The Phlotich Pulley is a multi-aperture device specifically designed for SRT and DdRT. A great new pulley for use in the hitch climbing setup, great little pulley with a super smooth bearing.
- Profiled side plates capture the host line, allowing for a reduction in host line movement
- Sideplates mate perfectly parallel allowing for a ‘clean’ connection to the anchoring Carabiners. The mated sideplates also allow for seamless use of a ‘Twin Leg’ Tether in SRT climbing with a Rope Wrench. This reduces clutter and allows proper alignment of the hitch, pulley and tether on the anchoring Carabiner (in a Rope Wrench set up)
- Lower anchor aperture will allow for full Carabiner rotation
- Dual Carabiner Alignment- when used with Doubled Rope Climbing, the Phlotich allows the two anchoring Karabiners to be aligned efficiently on one pulley, instead of separating to two separate anchors
- Unique ‘Kidney’ aperture:
allows for a wide variety of Carabiner connector shapes and will allow rotation of any Karabiner
allows for multiple Carabiner connections at one time
allows for a Carabiner to ‘centre’ itself depending on where the load is applied- and allows Karabiners to ‘self centre’ during climbing manoeuvers, which is helpful with DdRT climbing when climbing up to a ‘large limb’
allows for a perfect spot to anchor a ‘Sternal’ anchoring device (Carabiner, hook, Chestie, etc.) for use in SRT climbing on ascent with a Rope Wrench. This connector in the ‘Kidney’ aperture will self align to the most efficient spot and can be removed and attached easily
allow the efficient use of the Pulley as a ‘trolley’ and allows for self alignment of an anchoring Karabiner in the ‘Kidney’ aperture when used in this configuration.
The Phlotich can be used effectively for ‘Double Crotching’ or setting up efficient mechanical advantage systems due to the multiple attachment points and the ability for multiple Carabiners anchored in the ‘Kidney’ aperture.
