Where did that come from? That's me a couple of years ago!!!! It's a fl Prussic, hc, hitch cord, rope guide and a fig 8.so once climbing its bugger all.
-
Told ya bro
-
Dmm ring, spare spliced hitch, revolver, crab and first aid kit.
-
Yeah but you don't have to completely remove the pin to install/ take off. Just remove it on one side and the rope can be rolled into/out I the rw. That way you never drop it. I'm with rich though in preferring the larger pin.
-
And lengthen the tails on your fishermans bro;) As mark said, the removable pin is a must
-
Hey rupe, took ages to find this! Yeah I part wore through a tachyon where the rope was running through it. I reckon it was because it was focused on just one sole point and not spread around the whole of the cover. It was also through a couple of redirects so quite a bit of force was being generated pulling it through. Hope that explains why bro:)

This thread is a beast! No idea where I was when I last read it/posted but it just keeps evolving. Had to do some cobra today, and had to keep nipping down to get stuff I'd forgot. Damn I love srt climbing- soooo simple and efficient.
-
it sounds ridiculous i know but ive really worn a piece of tachyon from an alpine butterfly being removed out of a big tree. Chucking the ringloop in isnt hurting anyone so whats the big deal with using it here?? sorry if that comes across badly....
-
Nice one mr flatters:)
-
the kong is a super tiny ascender that is really comfortable for adscending with. it puts you in natural position unlike the petzl which i find i "hang" off when holding it. The kong does however thrash your knuckles when going past branches....
-
After Africa bro, I will of talked you into a permanent move:)
-
Most hitches do tend to bite even if tied super loose once the rope starts to move I've found. As Marc said, fault can be found in virtually All pieces of equipment. It's up to the operator to make sure there gear is working properly and not just assume its going to work.

Amen Ian!!

Cus the pays normally useless compared to aus.....

That's the cool thing with the ARS/ no problems with vectran, dyneema, Kevlar et al

Insert the core into the wire and then do a core reduction about 2 inches down. Remove 1 strand from every group of strand in the braid. Then do the taper and it should slide past the core easily. If not you've probably caught a strand somewhere-it should go in nice and easily with very little force.
-
I base tie where possible using a hub as a lowerable anchor or tie at the top with a blocked cambium saver. I've found the blocked cs really easy to retrieve compared to a tied off alpine butterfly if you've gon through a few crotches. Rather than choking a crab against a branch, just tie a running bowline.
-
Also put a carabiner in the eye and shock load it. Then try milking it backwards, this can help removing a little of the bagginess that may of occurred. And continue "massaging" with the rubber mallet. A cold bottle of beer will help you cool your hands if there getting sore....

If your doing a lot of splices the cost becomes Minimal. Saves a lot of time being able to cut high tech cords with ease. And pretty cheap compared to scissors that hairdressers use...

Industrial strength ARSuper Pro-Splice Scissors These work well on AP bro

I hear ya gibbon, that's one oft ulterior motives for liking the wrench
-
sorry bro-just read your above ill leave at this
-
i dont shoot small animals either, i just typed large as your list was large animals. But i agree with the elephants, if we dont shoot 'em they will kill us all....
-
whereabouts where you gibbon?
-
No offense bro but I really hope your bucket list is never fulfilled...I'm not a fan of shooting large animals for "sport". But each to there own..
