  1. i'd love to sell something, something unique though.
  2. I can understand this. I am fine till I stop climbing, then the back and everything else starts playing up
  3. I chose this career specifically due to not being damm clever
  4. Whatever you do, don't use it wearing your school plimsolls
  5. Did wonder about training. I think its not for me though!
  6. It doesn't look very ergonomic the angle the blade faces. It obviously has a specific use but sorry can't help! As for the name, i'm going to put forward Smaug
  7. Treemotion again. Might try Craigs harness next though
  8. As title...mainly for the freelance climbers amongst you. What do you plan to do after climbing, and when do you plan on climbing till?
  9. Yet to even see a pair in the flesh! Can't see they are worth the extra over carbon geckos mind. I did buy the spikescender for my geckos though. It is ok but doesnt come out very easily if you dont concentrate on your foot position
  10. I never had any issues with the build quality on mine and found it generally very comfortable. I would have replaced it with like for like but I just fancied a change
  11. Hi Phil, Both those training centers have a good reputation in the industry, either will be a good choice. What will you walk away with after the 4-6 weeks though? Certificates, that is all. You will still be green as green, then the real learning will begin. Just don't turn up to work for a new company thinking you are ready to jump in to anything, be honest about your experience(or lack of). That is one of the most annoying things I come accross, new climbers bigging themselves up in the interview, only to fail rapidly when put to test. I doubt you will be overly taxed physically on your course so I shouldn't be too worried, you're certainly not going to be doing the work of a production climber. Being fit helps sure, but
  12. Not sure if these petitions actually change anything, but here you go https://www.change.org/p/theresa-may-mp-stronger-punishment-for-perpetrators-of-tool-thefts-from-tradesman-s-vehicles/nftexp/ex5/control/780472786?recruiter=780472786&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_page.share_redirect-control&utm_term=share_page.share_redirect-control&utm_content=ex5%3Acontrol
  13. If that’s true then what’s not to like. Can’t wait to see it
  14. Apparently they are hard to get established, conditions need to be just right
  15. Don’t believe so, it does look a bit rhubarb like doesn’t it
  16. I’ve used a dalen briefly, it’s a solidly built piece of kit
  17. Bits and pieces today, mostly raising trees around a moat to improve the view. @Matt McAulay in action customer has had this unusual plant, our main job was to avoid it at all costs. Think it was called a gunnery or something
  18. Had heavy winds or was it a random failure?
  19. Lovely work Rich, they look untouched
