What's the longest you've spent throwing a throw bag?

I would have enjoyed it 10 years ago


10 years ago I would have shit myself. Now it'd just be work. I hate having to work for my money.

I'm pretty sure that was my advice!
Im sure someone suggested it was better doing that, but without taking the throwline!

It was you, I remember the reply.

You also suggested touching yourself in the park...

This is where SRT wins every time Bill, you don't have to isolate a crotch. You can always switch systems when you're up there.
 
Back in the day me and my old gaffer spent about 2 hours trying to get into a big pine at a convent for an inspection.
I did hit a decent anchor eventually, but cocked up trying to install a cambium saver and pulled everything out, so we went home.
Back the following week I hit a decent anchor quite early.
I can still picture the sight of him yarking his way up miles on a prusik with the rope running over a big, rough, sticky limb.

Don't rush me Mark I've only just got the hang of a HC after 10 years of prussocking. And I still have to check the knut is correct on my phone......god knows how much slower srt would be for me to learn by myself via the internet


The idea of bombing a line pretty much anywhere then effortlessly ascending without breaking a sweat sounds attractive though
