Anyone have any idea what may have killed this?

Sorry mate, I meant if the family of the deceased were guilty of the poisoning. -
Double-banging is something different Darrin. If you put a link up to that you'll probably get banned.

None.

Genius, get's the swearing out of the way before Church as well.

There's many a true word said in jest mate!

You'll get on fine with that attitude mate, fair play to you! Get the tickets if you can, they certainly won't hurt. CS 30/31 (as was) especially. Experience is king, but I appreciate it's a chicken/egg thing.

Whats with the double ring there Darrin? My Stein line is surprisingly good so far, but it's early days. May go back to Zing-It if it doesn't hold up.

As above, you won't be earning good money as a climber without at least a couple of years experience. If you're in it for the money you're better off spending your resettlement in a different field. Remember the majority of commercial climbers don't make it past about 40. There are exceptions.

A lot depends on geography mate. Where are you? I'll give you a starter for 10, £80/day.

Dirty trick. It would be fitting if it fell on the headstone. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
My wife has seen us in action on gnarly takedowns and just said things like 'stupid' and 'dangerous' and wandered off to buy a latte for £4. She doesn't know, doesn't want to know. I've rarely quizzed her about her fascinating accountancy career, like. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That is a mint pic Steve. Stihlmadasever you've climbed above your anchor. I've called the tree police. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Are they Fisher Direct or Fisher Price?

I think this one is most important Stuart. The one we did yesterday had to include 360's and dumpers moving about, as well as scorchio weather conditions, none of which were present at initial site visit. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Make sure you try and speedline everything as well Steve, you'll be guaranteed a truly memorable day. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

After swinging on the rope with a fat groundie it will always be wedged in something load bearing. It's twice as dangerous as Ddrt, but you earn twice the money in the same time without ending up with elbows that aren't fit to tug off with. Works for me. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Bag over the top, line installed, base tie, ascend, wahey!, you're on top of all the crud straight away rather than battling through it. At this point I'd normally put a top tie in rather than severing my base leg in the Ivy. Dismantling populus nigra italica is a dream for tip tying with SRT. Tip tie, descend to make cut, climb back up stem on spikes without tending by having rope bag tied to the bottom of your rope to create slight tension. Repeat, finish, pub. Or rec climb if you want.

Does that work for your small 2-stroke butt plugs now you don't use them much? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

An Ivy choked wrc would be a perfect example for me as to why SRT is so effective. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

You'd have to be a total prick to thin a holly. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
