    I'll get my son to tell them about Vodafone. Silly me they all ready know.

    That seems steep, I just did my 38 and 39 and it cost £190. Of course I was offered 'training' but why on earth would I need that? 20 years working as a climber is all the training I needed.

    I bet the guy who took the picture and reported the gardener thinks that he's some kind of hero.

    A running bowline?

    Three Knot system, I just did it, the 38. Never used it in the field. Marlin spike for attachment of tools I suppose?

    Biggest Planes I have seen are in Bath, Circus and Sydney gardens, massive trees.

    Indeed, we were talking rigging not Quickdraws for PPE.

    Ha John, beat you to it!

    A larks foot will weaken the sling but not as much as a knot, I know you are using the slings for light rigging which is fine and the knots would really not be a concern but tying knots in slings is not needed. You could even try cinching the sling onto the biner with a tough piece of rubber, bike inner tube for example, then your biner will stay in line and the sling will have no strengh loss.

    Yeah but why tie a knot in a sling? There is no need and it's bad practice IMO.
  21. High Scale
    Why not just choke them on the biners?

    I liked the Gravely, bit heavy mind.

    Cover only break tests on 5/16 Beeline by a very experienced splicer. 1st test - 5227lbs 2nd test- 5298lbs Just the cover, not the core. Wow!

    One of the trees has a rock climbing spike on one of the long limbs that was put there before we did the trees, it's a long slippy branch walk. Midland doing the work?
