    i did a job just up the road from there at rhinefield house. dead wooding some of those douglas firs.epic job,felt quite privaliged to be doing so. the wellys are totally climbable without a big shot.been planning to climb them for a while,just waiting for the perfect clear day

    try to be fluid in your movements
  3. John Shutler
    nice to meet you at the show and good luck

    they were not thinking to hard at all,or trying to show a new technique. if anything they were thinking very practically.what was being demonstrated was how hard it is to rescue someone from srt not a fancy new way of doing it

    for what movement is achived from the 6 shackles i think its a waste of time. the price of the harness should reflect whats gone into it....

    makes total sense.at what point does worn become dangerous.ie how worn i also tend to change and alternate hitch cord quite frequently

    i tie my own hitch cord,so the worry of splices is not an issue for me,the thing that concerned me was the possibility of burning the cord out.(pete made it sound like it was easily done).i personally havnt found any problem with overheating. think it may just have been alot of ifs and buts
  8. John Shutler
    i mainly use the herkules hitch cord and some dyneema stuff from the local boat shop,but have climbed on the tenex for a while and found it pretty good. what are your concerns?
  9. John Shutler
    it was recomended to me by proclimber. i think with all these things you do have to be carefull.long high speed desents on many hitch cords will burn hand and rope
  10. John Shutler
    thats what i thought,cheers for the reasurance

    it looked like they had an improved type of ripstop to replace the old kevlar on the front

    after a brief conversation with pete mcsheffery at the aa show about the above hitch cord,and his dislike due to it not having a core and because of this the chance of it failing on quick desents i have been wondering... has anybody had any experience of this. i have been climbing using this cord for a while and the idea never crossed my mind cheers john

    very good points.i wasnt having a dig, just wondering if there was maybe a better solution

    6 shackles are to many 6 more things to come undone why the need for so many ?, seems to me like theyve taken a short cut to get the product out
