Frozen Ropes

[Mikelawn]

Nz Paul where abouts Sweden u working? We are around orebro area a lot. Doing commercial, rail and private. Getting cold now. Ropes are doing our nuts in. Vt is just unusable. Gonna take my rope to bed and warm it up and try my spider jack.

Winters are great fun over there! Wait til your revving the nuts out of ya top-handle saw with the exhaust pointing onto your VT to thaw it out, just so you can move! Two pairs of gloves on trying to open frozen biners, Not being able to feel your limbs all day! Oh how i miss it!

 

Ropes need thawing out and drying overnight! I left mine in the truck overnight a few times, frozen solid the next morning in all sorts of interesting shapes! It came out the rope bag in one solid LUMP!!

Funny you say that, I left mine in the van last nite. Tried climbing with it 2day and it really wasn't playing. Even had a tantrum up the tree....u know the sort or tantrum u had when u first started and couldn't do something or get out some where haha

It really ain't fun! I love Sweden to bits, but i'm glad i ain't working there this winter! Its mentally draining climbing round snow-covered trees in minus 20 degrees!

Yeah from Grimsby. I know Ben well, I do work for him when I go home from Sweden. And I worked for green cuts for a short while. If u know green cuts u will know why it was a short while. AA approved?? Pppfftt lifting council lime trees with pole saws is there speciality there. Didn't want my name associated with them so I left.
