  1. gd thread villheim,mr broadley will come round sooner or later
  2. an experienced productive climber should be on 150 a day,no questions asked and thats all climbing equipment and climbing saw included.good workers are hard to come by and that needs to be respected throughout and gd productive groundies should easily be taking home 100 per day.the perfect world is out their you just gotta dig deep to find it.
  3. had a wee play on my new spliced 10mm AP today think she's gonna be the 1
  4. not really m8,different beaners for different configs and uses,its another spice in the gear junkies pot.
