90m tall rainforest canopy . . .what gear would you use?
DrewB replied to sjarthur's topic in Climbers talk
The wrench will only friction for descent-its practically not there on the ascent phase. Im not 100% sold on the wrench for work purposes but in the right situation its an awesome bit of gear. Example was today working on some stems-choking the rope off up high and descending on single line and then reascending single line with no change over. -
Is Viper the Marlow rope? i think its just polyester all through (the marlow one) but may very well be wrong
-
John- apparently, it predates ocean poly. the name comes from the Americas Cup boat race hence the Ocean in the name. I think Donaghys made it for the NZ crew yonks ago-i cannot confirm this though. Being used as a hitch cord its relatively new for it though-its eems to be standing up pretty good so far. Tommer- cheers bro. Just got the word that ill be doing a heap load more for the world cup, the powers that be loved it but thought it was lonely so the whole park might be done!! super stoked

from what ive heard there only really any good when used witha bigshot. for normal throwing, the Harrison Rocket works better. but thats only what ive heard..
-
it transfers friction from the hitch to enable descent on a single line
-
at 100 quid, thats a bargain. buy 2 pairs.

spent a day and a half climbing and used about 10 000 lights and came up with this. crap photos but it looked really good-trial run to hopefully do more for the rugby world cup
