  1. life must be too good, i put 5 raps on to hold my not very small frame and you now need six! i did try with a small prussic on the micro pulley, but found that with the short length of the leg it meant that there was little adjustment. i have found a very adjustable bridge more use in recent months for switching between styles.
  2. i agree with all that Laz say's on this point so far:wink:
  3. dont be cheeky boy. if you want to keep up try reading the 'tree climbers knotbook' by dirk lingens its a few years old now but i'm sure that it will be all new to you:001_cool: the 8mm cord show in your first picture is not the best choice for this knot.
  4. this is a sure fire way to end in hosptial. been there got the medal

  11. its an old style buckingham, they used to be sold by sherrill, but they stopped a couple of years ago (2007) if you have one of their old catalogs you might find some info
  12. A few guys(and me) did this at a comp a few years back, besides throwing up, blood shot eyes, i ended up in hosptial with a brain hemorage:scared1: for a few weeks. i dont think that we realise how fragile our bodies are some times.
  13. dont need a pic. eye-to-eye are splices are not CE marked, only the rope is........
  14. not in anger, i find that both the high tec harness have too low a balance point for me, more so on the hopper, may be better for a girl as there point of balance is lower, but what do i know
  15. the best 'small' harness are the the hightec 'treehopper' and 'treebee' and also singing rock 'timber'
