Tachyon is bouncy as a ball when used SRT. decent hard wearing rope but there are better out there IME. I still have some I use for scabby Spruce or Pine but I am rarely ascending in the rope. Usually spikes and the rope is second anchor or as a means to get out of dodge should it be needed.

Yes. Had a couple of the OG’s and then got the RRPro when it came out.

I won’t be getting one I reckon. All the Maples I do are in Norway. 😜

Same as Joe. Courant Squire. Low stretch, light and pairs up well with a Rope Runner Pro.

Jamie Oliver Jerk Ham Recipe | Christmas Baked Ham Recipe THEHAPPYFOODIE.CO.UK Step up your Christmas ham with Jamie Oliver's Jerk Ham recipe from his Christmas cookbook, rubbed with... I’ll be honest though, I had some Jamaican rub and couldn’t be arsed to make from scratch.

I remember years ago Jamie Oliver saying that the main ingredients for a flavouring a Christmas ham were almost the same as Jamaican Jerk. I always meant to try it but haven’t u til this year. Remembering my South London adopted Jamaican heritage. Give it a Jerk Pete.

I agree. It shouldn’t be too hard but it h fortunately isn’t in their interests. See my post a few up.

A Greek and an Irishman found themselves in a Starbucks one afternoon, casually chatting about the proud achievements of their respective cultures over steaming lattes. The Greek leaned back with a smile and said, “You know, we built the Pantheon, not to mention the Temple of Apollo.” The Irishman nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. “Impressive, no doubt, but it was us Irish who discovered the significance of the Summer and Winter Solstices.” Not to be outdone, the Greek added, “And don’t forget, it was the Greeks who laid the foundations for advanced mathematics.” “Fair enough,” the Irishman replied, “but the Irish were the ones who crafted the first timepieces.” Sensing his moment to triumph, the Greek smiled knowingly. “Ah, but remember, it was the ancient Greeks who introduced the idea of sex as a pleasurable activity!” The Irishman paused, set his cup down, and grinned. “That’s true,” he said, “but it was the Irish who got women involved.” 😍🤣🤩

A bit like the RangeRovers being one of the easiest cars to clone the key and steal, on top of being desirable. The more that are stolen the more sales / replacement units paid for by the insurance companies. Hence they have no incentive to try and reduce the levels of theft.

Thought it might have been my lucky day as well. Wordle had different thoughts. Wordle 1,285 5/6 ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Merry Christmas. Here in Norway they celebrate on the 24th. The dried, smoked salted Lambs ribs are rehydrating. The swede and carrot mash is almost done and the tatties almost boiled to within an inch of their life. We went out for a nice family walk in the woods whilst it was still light. Found a nice Moose antler shed. Kira is now pooped out on the sofa. Keeping in the spirit of Chrimbo, there is a reflection of the tree in the window 😜

Yes I think there is a mistake or misunderstanding somewhere. Norwegians know how to work in the cold and the ice grip are recommended by Arb suppliers over here for some of the best grip and dexterity in winter work scenarios. Therein lies the rub. I could very easily where my -40c black diamond mittens but opening bina’s would be a bit of a faff.

Kram, do you have a link to the pfanner stats you posted a couple of posts ago. I’ve been looking in the Outerwear site and the pfanner site and can’t find anything. Those Orange Tegera are pretty good until they get too sweaty then they just turn a bit rank IME.

We get a quite a few options for cold weather working gloves here in Norway. The ones with the latex on the back tend to keep your hands wet as the sweat doesn’t evaporate. Hence I use cotton backed ones. Depending on the temps I might change the pfanner ice grip out midday. But the cold is pretty dry here, if that makes sense: 2 degrees and rain is much worse to work in than -10 and dry IME.

I have noticed you appear to ignore any advice you are given as you always think you know better. Regarding to Mapa gloves, I looked them up. Are you sure you weren’t comparing to the regular planners and not the ice grip? They don’t look like they are suited for cold weather work. I could be wrong.😜 Actually, speaking of knowing better. I probably shouldn’t have bothered writing this post as it will probably seen as advice rather than a discussion. So I expect it to be ignored. Merry Christmas.

Matty, I think it is safer than the pinto option IMO. I know they did the break testing years ago with the branch and pinto / alpine butterfly tie off and the branch broke before the kit. I find the quickie is easier to retrieve. A little bit more space and the loop of the butterfly doesn’t contact with the running end of the rope. Which I find happens with the pinto bina setup. 11mm rope. I also find that when you come to retrieve the pinto/bina option it can sometimes get stuck or Jammed other branches or unions. Usually when you don’t have a straight pull as you have come down a different route than the retrieval leg. Just my observations over the years of using both options.

Not exactly sure but the original (I assume v1) wasn’t CE certified. Matbe that is the difference? I have had one of the early ones since they came out. Still fine and climb on it today.

Triggers gloves?
