  1. nah its gonna have to be original stuff
  2. im sure thats exactly what you mean
  3. sometime in the near future i will be having some promotional t-shirts printed up. I'm looking for ideas for designs. Any member whose idea is used will receive a free t-shirt when they're done. I think something humorous would work best but am open to suggestions fire away!
  4. i read that post at the buzz and didnt understand it there either!!
  5. let us know how you get on with it. are you going to use a swivel?
  6. if you have a look at this thread http://www.arbtalk.co.uk/showthread.php?t=116 ive been playing around with that.....i dont have the little swivel so ive been feeding it through the ring instead.....it works pretty well.
  7. everyone bends the rules sometimes....ie make 25% into 30% but theres a hug difference between cutting back to a boundary and topping, and if its going to be seen then its just not worth the risk is it?
  8. yes there is and it'll be something cool, will announce that soon
  9. i'd do what the letter gives permission for and nothing more personally
  10. well youve got good odds beings as theres only currently 5 or so people posting pics!!!
  11. haha thanks. theres the off topic forums where any ramblings can be moved to!!! the odd joke here and there keeps things light hearted so long as the topics stay on track! u access the forum through nuttyarb?? you can save the forum to your favourites by clicking at the top of your browser or just typing in the addess, www.arbtalk.co.uk
  12. thanks tom, i was looking for that
  13. not climbed with the hitch climber version yet buzz. i reckon with a second rope guide it would be pretty cool. specially if you used a ropeman near the second pulley to stop the swaying affect
  14. Always looking to hear from self employed climbers and groundsmen in the suffolk area, pm or e-mail me.
  15. that sherrill doctor bag looks pretty neat
  16. save your best ones for the upcoming photo competition!
  17. yeah, specially when it dont look like an M huh not sure if its called an M because of how it looks or because of the inventor, Mark Chisholm
  18. ok heres a few pics i took today of the m redirect. the first 2 pics are a standard vt set up. the spliced end of the line is unclipped, fed through the krab, over the redirect crotch then back to the krab. this can be retreived without climbing back to the redirect point. this set up uses no extra hardware at all. pics 3 & 4 are showing a set up using the v.t with a hitchclimber. i used an additional krab and pulley on this set up for smoothness. you could add a friction saver on the redirect anchor point with another pulley if you wanted it super smooth and it would still be retreivable....course you'd end up using more gear.
  19. rupe has one that works nicely leon, it just involves using more gear than i'd like
