kinda forgot bro-ill get onto it. unfortunately the best ones are copyrighted (for some reason the best photos where by the pro film crew) so ill sift through mine and see what i can come up with. we had such bad weather on this trip that the photos arent as good as last trip, but what we did this time was more impressive(from my perspective).

no mark-i think the gay remark is still valid:)

Pretty sure the current world tree climbing champ wears em. Good enough for Scotty.

Australian Tree Climbing Gear And Rope Access Equipment :: Rope Access Equipment :: Ropes :: Static Life Lines & Rescue Lines :: Yale Kernmaster 11mm Blue there was maybe a 8m drop between anchors and possibly 25m run-i think. also the tension was put on just using a fiddle block if my memory is correct

Armour Prus 10mm bro-super static but still soft to hold yet ascenders run real good on it. Ive got Globe 10mm and its good for ascenders but i find it too hard to hold onto for footlocking-but saying that Nicky Ward Allen holds the world record FL on globe and JimmyK holds it on AP. shows there both pretty good lines!

mark, i bought 2 just in case......

well it rained like crazy on the friday and thus all climbing got cancelled.All the trees were smooth gums which some of the american climbers had never seen before and couldn't believe how slippy they were.Saturday morning arrived and the rain had stopped and the trees appeared to be drying out pretty quick. I get the feeling that some of the stations in the work climb had been made a bit easier due to the slippiness and rope had been girth hitched around the limbs to give some sort of grip for the climbers-if not it would of been ice skating, not climbing. Rescue was dummy tied onto lanyard and had dropped the hitch side of climbing line and also suffering from low blood sugar levels.again super slippy. Jim K practically equalled his world record footlock time in the rain. Speedclimb looked horrendous due to dry gum tree and wet slippy boots. Once i resize my pics ill chuck 'em up.....

going on from the spiderjackery and frictionhitchery vids people were saying that they had obviously practised practised that tree to death. If you had seen joe and scott at the worlds masters tree youd realise that its just a stupid amount of climbing talent these 2 guys have.awesome to watch them climb.

just micro stitcing down the length-the prussic with the pinto keeps the legs together in use.
-
nah its in OZ. but if you make it to nz im sure we can suss something out for ya bro
-
we had a second line that was measured to hit a stopper knot a metre or 2 from the end to stop you going into the tree. the zipline rope was yale ultra static access line
