Hey thank you for the info. This is the first video I’ve seen someone show the unicender tending up unweighted. Most show it attached to their saddle already. I’ve been looking for a life support device that’s in line with the rope and has minimal drag going up unweighted.
brilliant setup. After two years climbing with the Unicender as my main system, this would be the only modifications I would use. Its really just the bottom bracket that keeps the rope in the pocket. Im always tied in with a lanyard so I never lock my unicender but I do fail to tend slack in the current configuration. climbed for 18 years on ddrt blake/split tail. I will never leave my Unicender behind.
Thank you, Richard, and all who've motivated this extension to the Unicender. I've been a Unicender user for several beta stages before Morgan released it. Ive participated in the evolution of what Rock has done. With all the mechanical and others, its the exception that its functionality includes Mid Line work, take note. Don't worry about all your questions. Most of the questions are attempting to justify some point or another and are not really questions at all... Wow. Wow? wear test? I climb Ddrt and SRT on the Uni for, um TEN years. If you wear or even burn out, you're good. We shouldn't even be playing in this game if your $50 eye-eye smokes. Ask your cheap questions. Richard will address them but I'm doing production in the field, as an Ancient, too. Can't wait to update my array of UNIs to the new barrel and L. Had a situation where my trusted companion used a brand new rope. We were clear about what SRT tools involved. Yes, it exhibited a different performance than optimal but we made money without butt puckering or snagging. Did it perform different? Do I wish I had the BarreL? Of course, but do I need a Ferrari or a Mazda to make my nut? Sure, it didn't perform as my optimal setup ( you need to DIRECTLY pm me about that ) but it worked without a second blink ( no butt pucker ). I'll have the BarreL, but not considering a change to any other system in my change because of one thing: MID LINE DISCONNECT (for lack of a better term). Situation: Ascended SRT but need to place main support line somewhere else once ascending. I lanyard in. Yell "off Main." and begin re-establishing my TIP (HAP). Efficiently, the Unicender offers I can completely disconnect from my Main, re-establish it, and attach in work positioning. Phatuey ( sound of me spitting ) on youse guys who think you'll do better in the same situation. I have yet to have or work with other mechanical designers to have such an efficient option. How much resources are comprised because you don't have this (cool) option? Um, few, but not (cool). Stop asking silly questions about thermal. I already know you're wasting efficiency by asking Richard to measure things that won't benefit you. When thermal dissipation involves your descent that is so freaking fast, I'll get support you, and Richard will measure it. Gear down and start dragging brush---
As always...nice! Like Kyle says a thermal camera would give you data. Another possibility would be to use a digital thermometer. There is one built into my Harbor Freight multi meter. Doing a few yo yo..hehe...climbs/descents would give you some relative comparisons.

Give that setup to Trevor he uses his none stop he's a unsinder guy he can run it through ur test
I just received my drum for my unicenter today, I can't wait to test.
Richard, a thermal camera would illustrate for your viewers what your fingers are telling you about heat (and wear) generation. Just a thought.
Years ago I did the thermal readings, videos are old but still there. People will experience it.
Great video. Thank you.

Two full seasons on my Unicender, still running strong. I bet there is another season of hard use before it needs consideration.
