Curious if anyone is running a
ropeman 1 on their canyon elite.
If so how does it grab and hold and is it chewing up the rope.
I know the elite is considered 9mm rope and therefore out of spec but I’ve seen it measures closer to 10.
 
First try with these combinations. Your carabiner comes into play with the ropeman1. Thicker can be an advantage in my opinion. I like the fusion shown better, but don't have huge concerns with either and if I did I'd have a stopper or Alpine butterfly knot tied below the device.

I still like my schwabisch hitches... especially on tether.

I can't speak for chewing up the rope as I only played with this outside in the dark for like 90secs then came in from the cold and took the pics.

I appreciate you doing this. Thinking about ascending and hunting with the Ropeman and rappelling with figure 8 if I can’t get my hands on a safeguard this summer.

That combination works flawlessly for me. I’ve been playing with/testing the resctech and RM1 too, but did add a hulk carabiner. It has a larger diameter where it sits inside the RM1. It holds just fine and looks perfect. But I’m Still using the elite for tether with the RM1 for climbing and hunting.

Obviously the second one is the mad rock….it’s pretty sweet too. Like the RM, you can feel the quality.
