Ross do you want me to walk Mani when you have two broken ankles after pressing the 'down' button from 50ft?

Top notch climb . Joe I am curious about how hot the SJ gets on a climb like that? Thanks.

Hi guys.

 

Ross, you're spot on with your cordage recognition mate. I run two spiderjacks; one happens to be on Velocity and the other on Arrowfrog. Both good ropes, no obscure technical reason for having them both.

 

On the climb in the video, the SJ doesn't actually get too hot. Again, it comes down to having the friction on the wood and not the metal. Will get some photos up here soon, (thanks for posting the pic from the website before) - currently in Tasmania for the Tas TCC, so away from my computer.

Thank you for the response Joe, best of luck in Tasmania.

Hi Joe,

 

Thanks for the little insight into using the wood break, had a go with that for an hour today and after initally looking like i was on a bungee jump got it a little bit smoother, tried a couple of swinging decents one went ok the other missed.

Hi all, thought this would be a good time to jump in. Just bought a sp. A week ago. After a week of playing with it I've only found one thing I don't like. It doesn't feed rope easily when your going out on a long limbwalk and the rope isn't feeding directly into it, or if your rope is draped over a limb. With a pulley your hitch always feeds freely.

Err.........sorry for being thick .....but how do you use the wood for a break?

Is it possible to achieve similar results with the Lockjack Sport?

[Ian C]

But you can climb like that already ya numpty:001_rolleyes:
