Climbing Systems

[Frank]

I wana see some of these climbing systems they sound complicated, i work with a 56 year old guy who's only been doing Arb 4 years and i do feel some times Im teaching him more than Im learning from him.

Any thing any one can show i might not already know would be much appreciated.

Heres a pic of my old system. new is the same but diferent friction cord.

Yeah, thats why above the old picture it says "new is the same but with different friction cord". Haha.

 

 

Do try and keep up.

is that 10mm roblon?? how do you find it

I am using a Butterfly II Harness (but just bought a Petzl Sequoia), 37m Yale Blaze rope, 8mm Beeline friction cord for VT with hitchclimber (and i also got some of FRANK's red and black stuff, lol) couple of ISC karabiners (but gonna get the Petzl OK's) lanyard made from Yale XTC rope with rope snap and distel with micro-pulley.

 

My VT is tied slightly different to FRANK's, i have another braid in there (4 wraps, 3 braids - i think!!) But been having a bit of trouble getting the 8mm beeline to bite sometimes on the blaze, maybe just cos its new! Seems to work fine on 13mm rope, maybe the problem is just cos blaze is 11mm!

Still with the Jury on that one. More pros than cons at present.
