I made one and it worked well until it didn't! I found that it was good to ascend but didn't grip consistently and did cause me to drop a few foot. I couldn't get the tether to cinch up tight enough to guarantee that it would bite. I was using the newer zigzag so be interested to see how you get on with it.

He looks comfy in that chair though
-
I was used to the runner and wrench with a hitchclimber, couldn't get on with sitting back when ascending and the chest harness popping out. I appreciate this could be more of a problem with me than the device ?

I'm not a fan of the new tending point on the Akimbo. The old shackle looks much better
-
Cheers mate. Same to you and yours. I can't believe the difference. So much quicker. My mate have me the pencil as well which is quite cool as well
-
iPad. Needed to update the old one so why not!

Wool power socks and a lie in till 730! Merry Christmas all. I'll have to go downstairs and begin the search for the kids in a sea of wrapping paper. Have a good day everyone!
-
If one anchor failed though,specifically the one on the right, would the zig zag on the left be loaded correctly?

I believe that Cousin do their own modified splice. I watched one of the guys at the APF splice one of their ropes and it wasn't a traditional splice. It was modified so there was nothing in the eye. Would love to see a video or instructions if you find some.

I don't think it was that

Has anyone else found that the chin strap doesn't sit particularly well for them? I've had the Kask Plasma for years and would have the chin strap fairly loose, I can't seem to get the Protos anywhere near.

Is that all used rope?
-
What do you mean secondary friction device? On a main line?
-
Class 1 Double braid for that @naturarbo Like @Mark Bolam said, they dont make it bigger than 10mm so if iits 12mm, it might be used? If it is, I'd probably give it a miss if you're new to splicing
-
Great question. I'll follow this with interest.
-
I was hungry ok, leave me alone.
-
Do you climb on that?
-
A wire fid would be best. Tube fid or push fids will be a nightmare in 8mm

I put my broken L200 on Facebook marketplace and got a phonecall within 3 minutes. Bloke was Romanian, turned up the next day with Cash. Claimed to be a car dealer. Tried to tell me that the engine had gone and money should be deducted. I explained that was the reason it was advertised as Spares or repair. I'll keep an eye out on the 10 O clock news for it. Make a nice change for it not to be on Rouge Traders.
-
Yeah mate. I think it was the lanyard one earlier in the thread that looked a bit short imo
-
I find that the best place to put whipping twine is about 3 or 4 inches down the rope one you've tucked it back into itself!! ? In seriousness though, as long as you are monitoring the knot and making sure that it has a good tail on it, whatever you choose to do should be fine.

You would need to provide a camper van as well please
-
Sounds ideal. When can I start?
-
I wonder why we can't get decent people. Maybe because we can't last 6 pages before decending into the same tired crap as usual. I would want more that 200 to sit in a van with you lot!
