  3. No it doesn't, it creates a bend in the rope to allow a hitch to function on a single line
  4. Hi Paul Do you have any 2013 dates for this? I'd love to come to the one in December but il be in new Zealand
  5. Have you climbed on both ends?
  6. I'm not even 30, I just wing it
  7. a supporting member is someone who has donated towards the ever escalating running costs of the forum, as oppossed to someone who thinks arbtalk owes them something

  10. Liros eye to eye with short burys. Ridiculously easy to splice
  11. I've been wearing akus for about 4 years. I've had 2 pairs of crodas and I'm on my first pair of crestas. I wear them all day everyday and are super comfy. The crodas don't seem to be wearing as well as my old crestas, I've had them since June. I will definately be getting another pair when these are done

  17. It's definately a good modification
  18. personally i think people are creating a problem that doesnt exist regarding redirects... plan your climb work the tree, theres no need for mulitple redirects im surprised more people dont know how to retrive there system back through natural redirects without having to climb back through them
  19. personally i cant see the benefit from having a 1:1 system when your doing tip reductions and climbing on small diameter wood. i prefer the mechanical advantage for coming in on stuff that shouldnt be holding your weight
  20. i bought the new ropewrench. ive used it for acces,s footlocking the tail. but in all honesty i cant see myself using it for most of my work. a well planned route and a ropeguide is perfect for me
