A climbing system is what we use to climb, which is different than a climbing method(how we climb). Understand the methods before building a system:
The Climbing Systems:
Each climbing system has a dedicated page:
- Universal System : supports all methods
- SRT System can be configured in different Modes to support Hitch and no-slack stick climbing too.
- JRB Cinch system – Primary use is hitch climbing using the JRB Cinch as an anchor, but can be configured into an SRT Mode as well.
- DSRT System – dedicated for DSRT only.
- Hitch Climbing System – dedicated for Hitch Climbing and No-Slack Stick Climbing only.

JRB’s recommendation:
JRB uses and recommends a Universal System because it can be used with ANY of the recommended methods.
No matter what you build, give yourself TIME to Learn, Plan, Shop, Build, Test and Practice.
