they are worth their weight in gold.....the single best investment ive made in climbing gear in the past 2 years. they do get stuck like any cambium saver...you gotta be picky with your placement. if im in doubt i'll normally retrieve it half way down and re-anchor so i dont have to go all the way back up should it get stuck. but the way i see it, in the meantime it makes my climbing 100% more enjoyable, if i have to go up the odd time to retreive it so be it

quite often wood cracks like that during the takedown procedure....particularly noticeable with sycamores, you can usually hear them crack and open up whilst ringing down

the bark was nowhere near the right colour to be a common walnut...and the form was wrong. i could be wrong, but im 99% sure its not a common walnut

I think this may be a variety of walnut but dont know for sure and which. photos arent great, partly due to the light and plus the trees in decline which didnt give any great shots of the foliage

nope, maybe in the futrure
