Loler

Recommended Posts

Further to a conversation with some other guys who sub i was wondering how many of you guys and girls loler your kit every 6 months or 12 for rigging kits.

I regularly do my climbing kit and my rigging kits had a couple of inspections now but im toying with the idea of not bothering my arse.

Im no loler inspector but ive been in the game long enough to spot issues and i would retire any kit i thought was suspect.

Also does anyone loler chainsaw strops..???

Never lolerd a tool strop yet...

Should i be..?

I know some will come back with its the law,all kit must be lolerd..its your life on the line,so im prepared for that but im really intereted in the subbie climbers and what they think/do about regular lolers.

TIA

I do it. But I often question why. Not sure what I really gain from it.
But I know there are things I would be fine using that a loler inspector would say no to so it’s good to have an independent check on your kit.
But I do know people that don’t and some have ropes/harnesses that is 10 years old and still climbing on it.
I figure it’s totally up to you mate what you want to do

I try to keep upto date. But I let it lapse last year as I was working in Norway most of the year. Where legislation like loler isn't a thing. So when it came round to working for a new company, for a national trust site. I was without an upto date certificate. Luckily. The contractor had a loler ticket so did it for me! 

 

But I also weekly inspect my kit as I'm a sad act.
