Maybe thats why you suffer repeatedly. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong, numbing the pain with chemicals and carrying on is bound to make things worse.

Much depends on your age. Under 30 injuries heal much quicker. It could take 2-3 days or several weeks, depending how bad the injury is. The important thing is to let it heal properly before you start using it again.

Right, with you. I dont think it is a problem, no.

You can get CTS from other things, such as using a computer keyboard with no wrist support. It is also much more common in women in a certain age group, cant remember exactly but I think between 40 and 50?

Yes it does, on reductions I normally try to do one side of the tree, then go back to the RG and put the retrieval line in, and lob it out on the side I'v just pruned.

Just when you think you're at the top of your game...

You mean just when you thought Rupe was at the top of his game, you saw Graeme's video and it made Rupe look slow and tubby? -
Landrovers? Never again! Unless I really really need one!

Wanst really trying to catch you out, I was just wondering how you start an 020 between your legs without melting your saw pants! Tried it on my cs39 assessment, but was advised otherwise by the assessor! Not tried it since!

Even with a top handled saw?

Could be Reynauds syndrome.

Not quite sure what you mean, but I retrieve my ropeguide with a throwline type line. The line is stuffed into a chalk bag, clip one end to the ropeguide after its installed, loop it over a higher crotch, and lob it out of the tree. When you retrieve the ropeguide, you can pull the retrieval line to lift the ropeguide out of tight spots or to aid getting the pulley out of the ring/loop. Hope that helps!

And our antipodean friends!

I dont think the guy in the pic knows either, to judge from his expression!

Not bad for a camera phone!

Oh dear, looks like I'm on the naughty step!

Not quite leaves, but still autumn colour, and yes, they are real!

The big hole in the middle probably had something to do with it.

So a fully decent climber could expect £200?

Ah yes, because since gun control was last tightened in this country, illegal gun ownership and assciated gun crime has all but disappeared.

This one?

Piss off a mobster?!

Looks like it was planting too shallow, an old school gardener I used to work with always planted roses and other grafts like the one in your picture deep enough for them to start establishing roots directly from the scion. The exception being fruit trees on dwarfing rootstocks, of course.

Firstly, a redirect isnt properly retrievable unless you can retrieve it in tree, and carry on climbing. Pulling it out with a friction saver from the ground at the end of the climb doesnt count, in my book. Secondly, any technique or equipment to do that job is complicated and/or gear intensive, and I dont find it neccessary to do it, other than very occasionally. The best way to do what you want to do is to use a hitch retrievable, which needs no extra gear, and is quick and easy to set up.
