Frozen Ropes

[Mark Bolam]

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

 

Haha, classic! I remember those days well!

 

You do need 2 ropes, and you need to take them indoors at night (wet here, frozen not really a problem in Kent).

 

My wife is delighted with the scent of stinking Poison Ivy competing with her expensive Glade 'mulled wine' scented plug ins.

as omt said, could you have 2 or 3 ropes and wash in washing machine over night. at least you have dryish rope in morn when you start?

[Sciadopitys]

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.

What's your name?

 

I know Ben well too, and Gally! I thought it might be you!!! That's why i asked!! I'm Ed, i've worked with Ben and Gal. I was working with Gal in London early this year!! He has spoke about you before!!

 

Who you working for in Sweden?

I will have a completely dry and warm rope tomorrow, I will let u know how long it lasts. Temp is gonna be around -11 so I'm guessing maybe a hour max then back to square 1. Having tantrums up the tree and asking myself y I'm actually here ha

I asked myself that so many times out there mate - In the end i couldn't come up with an answer - so i left! It's a good experience, glad i did it, but feel sorry for the guys out there who have to do it year in, year out! You earn every damn penny working in those temperatures!!

Last year in Eley it was -14 and my rope froze I tried using my sj and it was so dangerous it wouldn't grab at all, you need flex in the rope. Sod climbing in them conditions everyday. Respect boys

[Mikelawn]
