I think this is a great idea..it would be a great chance to get a lot of competitors old and new into the compititon scene!! i have had experience of compitions in the uk and usa. IN america is was a big event over two days with a massive range of experience..it was a great atmosphere good sponsors..everyone got a good prize, the entrance fee what $100 but with the prizes received the food and facilities it was well worth it!!

Like joe has said it takes a hell of a lot organisation and if we are only getting 10-20 climbers then it can financially become un-viable!

It is important to get new climbers into the compition scene...people need to realise it is far from elitist...old new qualified and experience world champions willing to share ideas and knowledge!!

Too sum it all up , i personally think it would be a good idea to have a big one...then if people want to get together and set up there own practice/jamboree comps then thats not a bad thing!!

i will be at the welsh!!

I use it for SRT and footlock...well worth the money!! Super light, easy to work with and perfect for SRT!!

Where do you buy all your splicing tools??

Bodean..what company are you working for out there? you get much time to visit marin?? they are some huge old growth redwoods in mt tam state park....we found one and climbed it must have been 200ft....great times. get to go to fairfax much??

Aye, Aye.

Nice picture, you still working out there??who did you work for out there??

Talking about views from trees....i worked in california in the summer of 2007 and some of the most amazing views ever. the first picture was taken up a californian live oak and is looking over San Francisco bay and in to the city, the second picture is over Mount Tam.

I'd be interested in 8mm i can could take 10-15m or what ever is needed...wouldnt mind trying some new friction cord.

The Rhodies are definalty a big problem and if they are not controlled then are going to cause a serious problem. ive just got back from 6 months in northern california where SOD is a huge problem...removing carrying species and disinfectant is a must otherwise we are going to end up without any oaks. i was removing at least one oak a day due to SOD.
