it is ocean polyester, dunno who stitches them

the only thing i can see right now which i dont like is the fact that you have to have everything unclipped from your harness when initially tying in at your tip.....im always paranoid about dropping stuff. with the normal set up you would only need to unclip the spliced eye end.

can they be done legally though, emmisions and all?

I got these pics courtesey of rupe. the sequence of shots shows firstly the standard Hitch climber set up. in the second picture the eye is threaded through the swivel then onto the krab. in the third pic the ropeman is attached to the rope. the fourth pic shows the real benefit, the set up can be moved away from the climber without the need to lanyard in and adjust.....now the whole system is self tending! I temporarily retired my hitch climber, i cant wait to try this set up out though

took the family to lowestoft today, what a cracking day it was too! the sun really did bring out the scantily clad ladies today which at best was fantastic, at worst, quite horrific

ta, looks a fair bit bulkier than cobra from the pics? what are the advantages of that over cobra?
-
ive heard that, its beyond me as to why though!
-
ahh, gotcha. i havent used it yet as im still trying to find someone who will splice it for me! i might end up using it as a footlocking rope. the rope feels a bit softer to the fly though, i am quite eager to try it out!
-
which rope, the velocity?

welcome hugoagogo

i think rfs would probably serve you better, its more recognisable, especially by homeowners. In the states the ISA is much more recognized it seems....it would be nice for it to be the same here. ive yet to meet a homeowner who has a clue what the ISA is other than somewhere you can put your money! im sure it would make you more employable though in answer to your question

Does anyone here do any ammount of bracing? its something i enjoy doing but rarely do. most customers tend to turn their nose up at the price. Last tree i braced i used the Gefa system from treeworker and it works out more reasonable but its still a job to sell!
