  7. ye your right , we just call it single or double, dont even no why to be honest, anyone else have a "donkey rope"?? a short rope for dragging and general abuse!
  8. i think it is but iam sure it used to be called single rope tech?? or at least thats what i have always called it

  19. as it doesnt seem to be in your house, you probably cant stop it, so buy a new amp and speakers and relax!! i have heard roofing felt flapping in the wind making weird noises. does it still make the noise on a dead still night/ day? next doors growroom?! that they didnt mention when you asked!
  20. the correct procedure is "shit your pants,then try and get down asap" it hasnt happened to me but i watched it happen to a fellow worker.... not much fun.
  21. every post being about covid restrictions it would appear!!
  22. quick question, you are climbing with two main lines as per new regs, do you need to have your lanyard anchored whilst cutting ie three ropes, or can you omit the lanyard as you have two mainlines? thanks
  23. testing an anchor and selecting an anchor are quiet different, id say if your unsure about an anchor just go for a bigger lower limb then move your anchor up higher when your up there as you can see the condition of the final anchor a lot more easily
  24. we test anchors by grabing your mate and both hanging off the rope, we mainly climb srt so this is to test the soundness of the anchor but also to ensure the rope isnt over any small branches that one cant see, and generally seat the rope in the fork
