all things considered...................

So how would you lot have climbed it then?? Throwline up high, rope over decent anchor, weight on rope caused rope to sink into soft sponge like branch before coming all the way thorugh. Rope then over lower branch, weight on, SNAP. So next up is spikes and flip line. First tread with spikes and foot dissapears into side of tree, second one does the same and so on and so on until I've nearly taken a 15-20ft high gob out with my feet.

Last few remaining Petzl Sequoia Harness'
Frank replied to arnoldbuchsassinger's topic in Climbers talk
Thanks. Now when I can afford a new harness they will all be gone. I thought that was priveleged information when you rang me BOO HOO haha -
whats wrong with it? It's got "pulley start" and a "panic stop button" and as you can see from the pictures, its not a toy and not for playboys to show off. It can also "cut down" my heating bills. I'm ordering 5.haha

Agreed. Clove hitch can have multi uses aswell.

Mr Ming , You couldve blinded the poor guy. Funny, but I always like to think of the consequences.

Was even better when I got him a second time in a week when he bent down with his face near a different bird bath to pick up a log.
-
Was blowing all the saw dust once and got my mate to put the bird bath back in its place, as he was struggling with the concrete bowl trying not to spill any bird muck infested water anywhere, I "accidently" aimed the blower nozzle at said water. Muhuhuhuh.

You could arrange that easily, get it done and post the reactions on here.

Come on then, lets here your best ways of "passing the time" or any "initiation tactics" for newbies etc, or just any things you have done in the past to those that "got up your nose". I'll start off; Really annoying habit a colleague used to have by opening a tin of tuna and letting it "breath" on the dashboard of the truck for half hour. Stray dog joins us on site, I may have be-friended the dog just enough to let it lick the top of the tuna smooth whilst colleague s back was turned. Then when he came to eat it, it was such a struggle to stay straight faced when he was remarking how nice raw tuna was. A bit tame, but its a start. Lets here some more.
