Akimbo

[Joe Newton]

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.

have you got any ideas when the akimbo will be for sale generally ??

[Rich Rule]

Sorry mate, no idea.

 

I don't even know if the designer has a definite timeframe.

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.

Day two of work climbing and the akimbo is growing on me , particularly that it grabs the rope all the time every time... it's just there with no sit back at all, feels great on ascenders.

Don't be precious mate. Yours is okay too.

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.
