Rated: Excellent Review by: JT
“It's a little pricey for a micro pulley, but there are good reasons for that. The build quality is top of the line. If you've used other pulleys and thought, "I wish this edge was curved," on the hitch climber, it's curved. If you've thought, "I wish the cut was a little cleaner on this edge," on the hitch climber, it spotless. If you've thought, "You'd think they woulda made the holes a little smaller so my 'biners aren't flopping all over place while I'm trying to climb".....well you get the picture. It can be used 500,000 different ways (or I'm convinced it can be as I seem to imagine up a new one every week). My recommendation: Buy two of them. You'll end up using the second one sooner rather than later and not because the first one wore out either. This pulley is just too handy to only have one on hand (pun intended). ”
Hitch Climber Pulley
The Hitch Climber pulley has many uses! It can be used for slack tending, generating mechanical advantage for rescue and gear hauling, not to mention improving work positioning systems. See the Hitch Climber's Guide PDF under the technical tab for more ideas. Smooth contour and rounded edges are easy on rope and carabiners alike.

The Hitch Climber is like having a rigging plate combined with a highly efficient pulley. DMM created this pulley to be the center of your friction hitch system, and it has many other applications. The Hitch Climber can help organise carabiners, reducing the chance for cross-loading or poor positioning. While climbing, a second climbing rope or flipline can be attache tot he third hole. The Hitch Climber also has rescue and hauling applications. Check out the “Hitch Climbers' Guide to the Canopy” under the technical & safety tab for more information and setup diagrams.
The Hitch Climber pulley should only be used with spliced-eye climbing lines, as there is a risk of a tied knot interfering with the friction hitch. See manual below.
Hitch Climber's Guide to the CanopyTreemagineers have produced an excellent guide to some of the advanced uses of the Hitch Climber pulley.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has released the ANSI Z133 safety requirements which apply to arboriculutral operations.
The full ANSI Z133 safety requirements are available on our tree care standards page.
Oval Carabiners
The Rock Exotica “RockO” and Petzl “OK” carabiners work great with the Hitch Climber.
