Falteimer is the kiddie Steve.

 

Not bettered yet.

 

Redesigned Stein isn’t too bad.

 

Yes, you need more than one.

I just googled throwline cube, AliExpress under a tenner. Picture shows it with actual climbing line in, must be top quality!

[markieg31]

Why does the falteimer one have to be in white, every climber you see getting this mouldy looking triangle out of the van at the start of the job! Would of been better in black, maybe easier to see you throwline in the box I suppose.

As a triangle it’s black ?…. Any way I’d say that mold is more testimony to its longevity, I’ve had two in the last 15+ years and I’d still be in the original probably if it wasn’t in a stolen climbing kit.  
Bought a cheap one off eBay as a back up and it lasted two minutes before one of the steel rods poked through the side.

@Steve Bullmani think you had to show me how to use the first one I bought at Caple years back…..after a few beers it wasn’t working for me. 

[markieg31]

Yes I would prefer to have something that is going to stand the test of time. I think some of this notch gear is not quite worth the money they ask of it. 

[MattyF]

I must admit I’ve not really being paying much attention to new climbing kit , looking around as I replacing most of it the other week I was surprised to see how much stuff was notch. 

[Steve Bullman]

Haven’t paid a huge amount of attention either for obvious reasons, although even when I was still climbing i was started to get over the excitement of new things 

[MattyF]

I was looking at the notch carbons as my old geckos are wearing a bit thin…. Nearly 1 k !!!! I’m gonna have to buy some carbon fibre and add some strips on ! 

[Steve Bullman]

That’s ridiculous!

 

my boy now has my old carbon geckos. Still going strong but could probably do with replacement straps
