climbing frustration

[TreePuncher]

Hi all,

 

Am i the only one that gets myself in the following situations??

 

-trying to climb higher only to find you are halted by your foot standing on the tail of your strop/rope? so your forced to drop back

 

-climbing using both ends of rope (not often) only to find the slack loops under a low lateral....hows the hell does it get there!!!

 

-or forgetting to clip your saw up short, so you later find the bugger gets stuck in a fork when you try to move....

 

Must be having a bad couple of weeks lol

How long have you been climbing, just out of interest?

little things like this will happen from time to time, generally you learn not to let it happen so much!!

[TreePuncher]

About 3 years, doesnt always happen, but really annoys me when it does lol

[mad matty]

fair,do's..... just a bad week maybe....sometime's though its a bit of thinking and checking before you move!!

have a beer and forget about it, till it happens again.

Can't say I have problems with my main line, but the tail end of the strop, pending which end is constantly connected to u,myself the hitch is connected to me,thread it back through the karabiner to shorten it away from you feet.it helps me

Yeah, hopefully a bad week, maybe the return of rain has had a effect lol

 

(calls down to missus) "matty said i should have a beer"...i didnt get a response... Maybe due to the fact its 11:10pm

I've been climbing 12 years now and I can still forget to clip the saw up short. Always end up shouting at myself

none of it matters ,you'll adjust honest.

and you'll be good because of it.
