Conifer dismantle

Cheers Pete, the runner is nice, until you dial in to what force you need to apply on descent it can be a little jumpy for a start. Doesn't take long to get use to it then it becomes super smooth! It will never be a hitch IMO though. Well for now anyway. Sadly it's only on a borrow for a couple of weeks. Maybe a sad day when it goes back to Ian's :( lol

Nice Video Adam, How is your Edelrid harness holding up?? I need a new harness and thinking of getting one!

 

Thanks

 

 

Thanks mate.

 

It's holding up real well. Don't think I'll ever have a different harness again. Unless something new takes my fancy. I've just put a new sliding D on it, but it's a petzl D as edelrid don't consider it to be a major wearing part??? Wtf is that all about?? Anyway they only sell the whole adjuster D all that at a nice price of £75!! The petzl D does its job though. Other than that it's wearing well. Love it mate

Nice Video Adam good tunes.

You made short work of that conifer.

 

 

Thanks nick.

 

Obviously with me being with just wally I had to take a little more precaution into what may go wrong, I can't imagine he'd be the most useful in an aerial rescue ;)

 

Steady 50 minutes, few cut and holds but my hand was well out the way on majority. :)

Good work Adam.

 

 

 

You like the RR then?

 

 

Cheers bro.

 

Yeah I really do like it mate, smooth when you dial it in! Think my rope was a little dirty for a start for it but it's like a dream descending now! Minimal sit back..... I'll rephrase that!! There's no sit back in the runner itself just from the bina sliding D. Tends nice on ascent. When I can afford one or the bull dog bone I'll purchase either!! :)

The bulldog is nice mate. I'll bring to cutters and climbers if your going and haven't had a go by then.

 

Must admit though I did a large oak RJ today and climbed with a vt and rope guide and it was great... ;)

 

 

Oh the SRT police will arrest you for that mate haha! Yeah I'll be going up to C&C mate, looking forward to it again. :)

Excellent vid Adam. I have an older edelrid harness looking at getting the new one. I use the same rope as you with a rw, what hitch cord do you use with it and knot? Cheers
