Am getting a telling off now for using the naughty words.

As people say get a cambium saver, saves a lot of wear on your rope as well ... remember which size ring you went through first though, if not you'll soon find out why

 

Other than that mate good little starter kit, get used to moving around the trees first and accumulate new kit as you go. Plenty of gadgets out there when/if you feel the need to change in the future. Don't waste your money on an expensive/fast system just yet because it won't be used to its potential and to be honest you'll more than likely end up scaring yourself.

 

I've been climbing for about 1 1/2 years now and have only recently moved from a prussik to a VT.

is that a 16oz throw bag or is that your pillow?

[Tree-Fela]

Its a 16oz throw bag that goes a long way

they do go a very long way but have you ever used a 10 or even an 8? they are twice as easy and dont get jammed in tight forks...as much

[Tree-Fela]

Its a 10oz one yano

[HGBMX]

sorry mate i thought you said it was a 16, next thing you should buy is a spider jack, best thing ever!

That sums it up, you get through the assessment but are not really a climber

 

That's a bit harsh isn't it everyone's got to start somewhere,???

rupe has got a valid point. the assessments are by no means what they should be they really need to tighten there braces and sort good practice from bad practice, i mean a cambium saver not even part of an assessment??????? whats next no chainsaw trousers for your cs39?
