Akimbo


Recommended Posts

When limb walking with the BDB its really nice to have the device rotated so that it's a good ergonomic position for your hand.

Yes a swivel can be put on harness bridge but it adds 'links' to the system which I don't approve of.

Just curious though which is why I asked.

Thanks Joe.

 

 

Fair enough Al, I hadn't considered that.

 

I'm struggling to choose between the BDB and Akimbo.

Think the Bone has the edge for me so far.

It is also the only one readily available to purchase.

 

 

True, but I'd have held off for the Akimbo if it was brilliant.

 

The limbwalk drag is unfortunate. It's my only gripe with the wrench, so I'm not prepared to fork out for a device with similar issues.

 

It was at Cutters and Climbers a couple of years ago when I saw you and Adam demonstrate the BDB's self tending and control. It looked impressive.

I remember you saying you'd seen Rich and Adams bones and were impressed.

The Akimbo is brilliant! I think as climbers start to get a handle on how it works and what ropes work best with it for their climbing style, you will hear nothing but rave reviews. It just flat works.
