Thats generous of Alex and timberwolf. Thanks -
If I'm climbing I like to charge decent money, and taking into consideration the training, paperwork etc I'd want similar for training. The cost is high at face value, but over a working career it is almost insignificant
-
Maybe enough slack for the limb to hit the floor!
-
Bump! Couple of weeks away now!

I know the whitehaven area quite well. Sister lives in cockermouth. The quieter side of the lakes, stunning. Enjoy

The purchase as usual will depend on budget. Minimal- LDV, money to waste- old transit, a bit of cash- cabstar, a decent amount- canter and money to throw away- a new transit. IMHO you buy the best you can, and save for what you want.

Nice to see. Thanks for making the time to share with us. More please

is it available in the uk yet?
-
Anyone got any experience of this rope? It looks promising IMO http://www.neropes.com/Datasheets/tachyon.pdf.
-
cool, then all we need is an extra half an hour on our working day to start it. Does it get supplied with a paper bag for your head so you don't have to be seen with an orange piece of crap in our hands?

This is why I climb with a long lanyard (AND a wirecore if dismantling). Enough flexibility in positioning not to rely on compromising my system to ensure my rope is not struck
-
I will run with that one. Now if you tell me what completely retarded ones understand I might be able to communicate with you from my lofty arb perch:wave: Nicely managed pollards by the way John

Welcome John. In this fine spring weather i'd make the best of the desk time
-
It was fun indeed. How can you expect to see him taking pics when you were blind drunk As you can see Andy and i were the only 2 sober people there:wave:
-
I seldom use both ends of the rope due to the loop created. Accidents happen and when you get a branch of decent size hitting it it does hurt!!!! I see it as a useful method of work positioning, often underused, but the limitations and dangers need to be known
-
I'd go for a permenant hard seat then, be it the dragonfly or other.
-
those have been posted before Anna. It's the others i seem to remember he said he would not post:wave:
-
daisy-chain the excess rope, it's easy to deploy when required and nice and tidy
-
I know several people who swear by this system, but they use it in addition to a body strop. excluding any piece of kit or method from climbing is folly imo
-
I still wish i never cut mine off and that was 13 years ago. At least he did it for charity as opposed to death threats from the then mrs
