BOLA (Bulldog OAR Lanyard Adjuster)

[surveyor]

Thanks Old Mill, You are welcome, Thanks for giving it a go.

Yup, Gordon my BDB is still going strong ( albeit a little worn ) after 13 months climbing on it.

Good to hear Rich. How are the steel friction pins holding up?

[Rich Rule]

Fine mate. All good.

 

The spine is pretty worn but it still responds well.

 

I am a pretty heavy climber so I guess that is a good testament to the build quality.

Here is a Bone style BOLA, notice the cantilever on the bottom arm like the Bulldog Bone.

This makes it grip harder, plus with the top attachment you can self tend it much like a unicender. It will accept a RE Nano swivel in place of the teardrop. It grips strongly enough to bear my weight on a single line (pictured 7/16 KM III) and will release under load.

That looks very good and a nice progression Gordon.

 

BTW, I use my BDB exclusively now and the other gear just gathers dust!

Thanks Old Mill. If you wear the BDB out you will have to try the adjustable version.

That's what I'm aiming to do!

Ill be a test rat gordon ;P having it grip in single leg mode makes it a very cool device indeed:thumbup1:
