Throw line and throw weights and techniques

[Darrin Turnbull]

Thanks , tried ordering through the link and it won't as its out side of Germany but hopefully they will get back with a shipping quote.

Have not tried any thing but dyna glide for about 8 years as you say it throws nice and is supple unlike a lot of other lines.

Look forward to trying some thing else but maybe it's my style of throwing, just smash it through with a 12 and wiggle it around on a 16 Oz to get the route I want... Probably lacking the finesse to throw with an 8oz!!

My stein is about 2 years old and been used hundereds of times....its good as new...

 

 

Honestly Paul I've never had a stein one last more than 6 months before they started to fail. My flatimer one is nearly 8 years old.

I must admit i am over careful with all my kit...almost like its finest bone china.

Maybe the falteimers are little bit on the expensive side because of patent costs

[Mark Bolam]

I've got both.

The Falteimer is superb, and worth the money, although it's scarily priced.

The Stein is what it is, definitely worth having as a second cube though.

Evan the stien is over priced

 

I use a folding wash basket from the pound shop It works just as well as the stien but only cost a pound

 

The curent one has got looney tunes on the side so its easy to say its mine They tent to last about 6 months so on average it £1/year thats got to be cheaper than the stien cause your lucky to get a year out of one

 

Oh and i got a 8oz bag that to light but ok for short work in open trees and a 10 oz for most stuff

I am using Zing it with a 10 and 8 oz bag in a stein cube. For access I just throw a line in and base tie it, its normally over loads of branches and some do sometimes snap but im always backed up by more. Often the case also is that ill throw a line clean over the top of a tree then walk one end of the line (whatevers easiest) back down centre of the tree and base tie again. never do i bother isolating branches im not that patient works for me SRT ascent everytime useless its easier to freeclimb up the middle
