Thanks Josh, greatly appreciated, you stay safe out there brotha 🤟

Great review man...no bs and very interesting!

Been climbing on rope runner pro for months now it has been great just bought akimbo can’t wait to climb on both

Very nicely done sir👌! It does look better in every single way then the OG runner! This also makes me glad i went with the akimbo instead. Zigzag for MRS and my OG runner and Akimbo for SRS I think will do me just fine.

Great review....im definitely a fan of the rope runner and I think the really did well addressing the issue with the pro version....thanks for the slick pin tip👍 Stay safe stay healthy

Thanks for watching Scoot, I can't wait to try it in the trees, im kinda looking forward to your opinion and experience with it! 👊

Def one of the better up close reviews and you showed all the things I was looking for that other people didn’t. On that note mine came in today lol but I’m not home but I will be tomorrow and sure as hell I’ll be testing mine too.

Thanks for posting up your feedback. My RR Pro showed up yesterday. I have been climbing on the original RR for several years now and it is still my favorite device for SRT. I have read/watched all the feedback I can find on the RR Pro but to be honest I didn't need to. By far the biggest "issue" I have heard about is the allen wrench. I adjusted my RR Pro right out of the box using the wrench and it worked OK. I can tell it's not a "high quality" tool and I will very likely be tossing it for a better wrench. I'm looking forward to getting some actual climb time on it to see how it compares to the original. Thanks again for the video and keep yourself safe! 😎👍❤️🌲 Randy

How much does it cost

Now that it's been 2 months which do like better between the Akimbo and Rope Runner Pro?

@PoplarMechanic

3 жыл бұрын

You know, I like them both about the same, I use the akimbo alot still.

Popplar. Akimbo or RRP? I've been on akimbo for a while and im very tempted to get the RRP. What can u say about it now after a while .

@PoplarMechanic

3 жыл бұрын

Well it is nice there is no question about that, I still use the akimbo alot, I would say more that the rrp. They both have there qualities but if your like me you'll want em both 😆, everybody is different but I would say if you got it, it wouldn't disappoint, its very smooth and the pulley is a nice feature for tending.

I don't know if I agree with you.... I got one of the first rope runner pros and I still think the zigzag is better... Smoother better tending,I understand it isn't midline attachable but I don't find it as smooth as a zigzag.....

@PoplarMechanic

Ya the zigzag wrench is as smooth as it gets, i agree with that, but i think its a pretty good device so far, keep in mind I don't have much use on it yet, thanks for watching! 🤟

Have you seen this video where this fine climber and employee from Notch says you aren’t supposed to use the Rope Runner pro the way you had it in the end where you say, “probably not recommended…”? She says use a device to keep the ropes separate. Here it is, (it’s a good video to watch btw). It’s at the very end of her talk… kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaWqpa9_acqZqKQ.html Thanks for doing this review. I love my rope runner pro, so thankful for it.
