Enjoyed the video. I have a Vertec and it is nice. It replaces my 2nd version of the RRP. Two things I like: The closed up bird....it was uncomfortable to operate with my smaller fingers. And no longer will twigs or my rope get in the bird. I also like the fact it's much easier to attach to your rope as no slic pins. Nice. It does seem smoother also.
I hope they update the vertec and go back to a pulley instead of a bollard. If they do that, I'll upgrade my RRP. The beginning of the video was interesting. I had no idea the og rope wrench was just a pieve of wood lol.
I've had mine do what you mentioned in the clip. the biner getting stuck or pitched, think it depends on the the thickness of the biner, didn't do it that much on srt but did it while on drt, wasn't overly impressed with it on drt with a foot ascender. though i guess its mainly for srt. only used it once so more time on it. first time using rope runner, never had the old ones. I use the hitch hiker xf as my main climbing device before that was the rope wrench.
I had no idea you could go up that fast man! Smoking!!!!
