Stay safe out there

[Steve Bullman]

Are you still using it

Or has it been downgraded.

I had one similar and now use it for something not life support as thought I would not tempt fate

 

I saw the day out with it, but yes I will downgrade it now.

 

These are still the safest karabiners out there IMO, I would go back to these if they made them the right shape for my system

 

[born2trot]

Sounds like he done both!

 

A lot of people on here don't know what it's like commercial climbing every day though ..

20 years up trees Joe. But Let's not have a peeing contest:001_smile:

I don't want to butt heads on it, what I'm saying is when descending do you do it Hollywood style or come down in a controlled manner.

I've come off the end of my rope at 5 ft off the ground because I have different lengths for different trees and I misjudged it.

What I'm saying is I wouldn't take someone's word for it and fly down SAS style.

Huh?

 

Sure you meant me bud?

 

I'm rubbish at peeing contests anyway.

 

I don't mean to point out the bleeding obvious, but stopper knots to tend to eliminate the risk of falling off your rope...

20 years climbing what ? Back door birches ? Cherries ? I don't know . Yes I fly down sas style , glaze all my hitch chord and burn my hands at the same time , what a laugh this climbing game is ..

I figured. If your going to take your groundy's word on the matter, get him to stand directly underneath you when you come down. He might rethink his answer then!

And yes,stopper knots are the answer, but they can infuriate if they get caught in forks/under brush when moving around.

Back door birches?

 

I have a similar sounding DVD under the bed.

[Mark Bolam]

Haha.

Steve, which snap-gate were you using this time?

 

I told you the Lidl ones were Chinese.
