Im using the hitchclimber and im finding it a hell of a better than having just a micropulley. My line is straighter, doesnt move around as much and isnt all bunched up on a single carabiner.

The hitch climber is great for attaching your biner to rope bridge on your saddle as well. I find that twisting is much easier and the rope bridge last much longer.

I've been using a hitchclimber for about 8 months and love it. Actually have two that I use for rec climbing with double crotches. Makes for a simple compact setup which only requires one carabiner on the bridge. The extra hole makes an excellent attachment point for the second hitchclimber. Here's the setup:

You need a splice on the end of your rope, or your termination knot will get in the way of the friction hitch.
