Comp climbers and there silky's

[Dan Earp]

Hi lads and lasses,

 

So for those of you that take part in comp climbs what do you ask of your silky. Are there requirements that have to be met?

If you could adapt the silky what would you do?

Have you lost time because of a particular problem using a standard silky ?

 

Any real feed back would be grateful

 

Thanks

Dan

Isa rules do state a max length, and teeth must be covered.

 

I use a gomtaro, tape a retractable cat lead to the scabbard and clip the end to the handle. Never dropped a saw in a comp yet!

[Dan Earp]

Ok so the teeth could be removed then. I was going to use a Gom to base this on so 👍 also can the scabbard be modded ? For example a slice removed from the side wall for quick removal. Im also going to do a trial with magnets

[Craig Johnson]

yes you can

[Dan Earp]

Ok great. Thank you. Any problems you lads have come across?

 

Reason why im asking is a ozzy comp climber lass is wanting a silky etc solely for comps. And im guessing its lights out their way atm

The main issue is dropping it, if you can prevent that your onto a winner.

I know she uses a lanyard of some sort and also though about securing a magnet to keep it in the scabbard aswell as opening it up a bit

Silky make the blades without teeth especially for comps
