DIY cambium saver?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Sometimes you find on eucs that waxy powder can cause a bit of slippage, a longer tape strop can just be half hitched below the bite

Yep like i said I get it, but i do love the old saying "if it aint broke dont fix it" i guess I just like to be worrying about my job at hand rather than having to constantly adjust or get used to or worry about new gear all the time, THAT is the bit I dont get

 

why get a lambo if you win the lottery, the good old fiesta starts & runs......................

 

A rope guide is not only very, very shiny but it makes climbing easyer for you & your body. An investment well worth making IMO

thats a good point, most of these shiny toys are only making our jobs that much easier

the friction in rings is negligable, boys and thier toys, wouldnt own a lambo, give me a landy with a winch any day!

you could always have an adjustable ring set-up; 4th item down

Thanks for that link, some cool stuf there, but still, I will stay with my elderid style strap and rings, and be done before tea time!

Why not fit a small pulley into your regular cambium saver in place of the large ring?

 

You have probably got one somewhere in your kit.

 

It won't cost anything to try, will it?

 

I poo poo'd the idea until I tried it, and I think it makes a lot of difference to the amount of effort needed.

they are limiting- great in the crown but useless on a spar.
