Hitch Hiker thread.
T14EES T14UNK replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
I suppose as long as it comes back sooner rather than later so that I’m not chasing it then it’s no problem. PM me your details and I’ll send you mine. Courier I normally use requires a mobile and email as well as address. -

Where abouts are you. I have a HH1 that I’m not using at the moment. You could borrow it to have a go but I’d want it back really. I don’t think the HH1 is a great deal different from the HH2. I would have thought close enough for a trial climb. The main difference is which cords you choose for whichever rope. I tried loads of different combos and there’s massive differences. -
One last reduction before I hang my harness up

Ah cool. Finally going down that route. You’ll suit it well. Good luck with that bud. -

What’s your future now Paul? How many years climbing do you see. -
One last reduction before I hang my harness up

We’ve been climbing a similar time and I think we are a similar age. I had to hang my harness up in November for permanent health reasons and now I’ve had an improvement I cannot wait to get back at a few silky jobs on a sunny day. I’m sure there’ll be opportunities to enjoy a few select jobs in the future just for the fun of it. Harness is hung up not binned hopefully. Haha. All the best. -
I drilled through my metal shanks to fit a kiwiklimber ascender ages ago and never had any problem with it whatsoever. I can’t find the pic but I put it on a thread about the stein spikes a good few months ago if you saw that.

My parents once had a load of stuff off their boat shipped back after it being sold. It was a man and a van type set up. He charged by volume/estimated wait sat on a pallet. Once in England, he did the reverse to keep the costs down. There might well be a similar service you can find. Maybe have a chat with a local boat yard/marina. (Don’t know how local that is to you)

Sorry I've just realised I didn't mention in first post that mine weren't stein but that's why I had to just bolt them on. It works perfectly well half way up though.

Didn't really know anything about shape of the X2's but here's a pic for anyone else who might try one.

I drilled two holes through and bolted 'em on. It's fine. [emoji106]🏻

Both the monkey puzzle and the palm are jobs where you hope the customer wants to keep all that lovely wood chip for mulch and log for firewood. Haha.

I think I should be ashamed! It's got 80k on the clock and I've changed 3 times I think. [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I've just replaced a couple of grabber at2 from oponeo.com It's twice now that I've been able to get hold of at2's after they have stopped doing them - from oponeo. As for the mileage that some people get from their tyres [emoji51] - I must be a really bad driver. Or driving 6-7 times faster! [emoji15] Not that I think that I try to drive that efficiently but...

I think I did about 3-4 years on mine before it needed a shuffle on the straps. So a regular movement every now and then will be good. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ah. That's no good then. I'm not near or will be for a while. [emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Where are you? UK? North south middle? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Exactly that. I think it will probably wear quicker than expected. And it doesn't actually move much. Not enough for it to be of any benefit but enough to wear it out. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

To be honest, I won't be going back to my treemotion yet! I probably won't for a while and maybe never. I honestly can't see THAT much improvement. But I can see some things that I'm concerned about on a long term basis. I hope I'm wrong but I'm on my second Treemotion in about 4-6 ish years. Could even be quite a bit more. I don't think I can complain about the TM much. It works well. Great design and shape etc. The simhargu is obviously more technically designed but it feels very similar. I could go on and on if anyone is interested but I'll leave it there for now. I do like the harness and I hope it lasts. It feels slightly more comfy but different... Definitely a bit easier to put on! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Do make sure the spark plug is nipped up! I had issues with mine from brand new and only about a year or so later, I realised that the plug hadn't ever been nipped up tight. Seemed ok after that funnily enough Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!
T14EES T14UNK replied to silky fox's topic in The Lounge
As discussed before, need to get this sorted. We said before to aim for around now ish I think. I can't do arb show though. Might be easier if there were a few up north!! Anyway, let's get a meet up. Beers and chin wag mainly, but a bit of climbing would be good. -

I've only driven past a couple of times when up your neck o'woods. My biking doesn't include much commuting nowadays. [emoji12] -

T14EES T14UNK replied to silky fox's topic in The Lounge
That would be great if it extended into a glove. I don't think I've ever caught myself anywhere above your skin though. Is it thin enough to go glove under your glove? -
I managed to get my rope replaced pretty quickly with more of the old stuff. Nod sorted that out really well and I just sent it straight back to uk supplier and replaced straight back to me. 👍🏻😀 As for the Akimbo, mines been great and definitely got better as the anodising wore off and it shined up. Sterling Htp is brilliant, Cougar blue (non CE) is pretty good and cougar orange(non CE) is pretty OK. Blue Tongue is awful and too thick and Velociy was just horrible! I had a play on a Rope Runner for a few weeks whilst someone had a go with my Akimbo and I really liked it. Felt very smooth to get going and liked it a lot. But I was very happy to swap back to the Akimbo!
