Taking the place of conventional fairlead pulleys, the Hitch Climber helps organize carabiners, reducing the probability of poor configurations such as cross loading. It doesn't matter if you are ascending or descending, carabiners tend to be kept in the correct alignment. A complete second climbing system (or lanyard) can be added to the spare hole, making it easier to traverse between two anchors. There are even rescue and load hauling functions.
