Smooth climbing

[Ross Smith]

been on the SJ for the last week and its been good fun but surely makes you appreciate the skills in joe's video.

i like it for lots of reasons but appreciate its gonna take a wee while to use it at the speed im looking for.

its def like starting over again,bring on the quick decents.

Yeah ross! just got mine back up and working, like u say back to square one and see what happens i am going to give it full year and see how that goes. seems to be working well and i took joes idea with the x2 bineers so u dont have to undo the velco each time u want to change branch and throw ur splice up and over.

 

defo brings back climbing the tree more i say:) and not prussiking around.

Sure, but thats Scott Forest, the new (and long time deserved) world champion tree climber, and filmed by MOG the original spiderjackery who came 2nd in the world! All good stuff for the southern hemisphere these days!

Quick recents burn the clutch in seconds.
