All,

First off, the load rating for the VP is very comservative so I think using the VP in this instance is fine.

Also, since the rating is based on the ultimate stress failure of the aluminum hex, going to a single stage gearbox with a 7075 aluminum shaft (or unhardened steel shaft) won't be any better.

In any case, you should be fine with the VP direct to your output for the climber.
