  1. A small petzl swing check pulley placed under the distel hitch via a clip .As you explained to Liam ( Mozza ) ? .
  2. Your spot on there Rupe . Overall this is probably the best use for the cinch . Still would,nt mind your advice on the distel ,pulley set up and probably a few other things . The distel and pulley I presume that would be nearly the same as the blakes pulley set up. Oh have a good Christmas and thanks for the help given and offered .:thumbup: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO AT ARBTALK .
  3. Margaret I would love to test your boots . I will be happy to submit a fair and honest written report . Size 8 . Doh stevie wins again
  4. RIP Very sad indeed .
  5. Nice where abouts is this ? .
  6. Yes I always enjoy watching him . What kinda rope is he using . It looks like 11mm static line ?
  7. Forget the rack Ive seen the light and mines green the cinch that is . Its like starting all over again . It came this afternoon . When I got in it was back out and to the park with my 8oz throw sack and line . Just enough light to have about 17 rappels . Its nicer on 11mm I think for descending and 9mm is quite fast but still easy to control . My petzl pulleys came also but I,ve being having so much fun on the cinch will check them out over crimbo .:lol:
  8. Never really thought of using the rack . Will it be up to every day use so to speak . I,m thinking of using the cinch as a postioner and as suggested a srt choked off for descend from a pole when chogging down if needed .
  9. Sorry you missed the ( not ) found a good use . Never in the real world ah well mines going on my flip line . To late now well I,ll try it out anyway .
  10. Cheers Bob ,Thats good news as Ive already ordered one mk2 that is . May be going on the flip line or as cam for hauling up the bigger saws . What are you using yours for ?
  11. Only guessing its pink . I,m darn sure hes got the SANTA STOP HERE SIGN at home . John Shutler has got the real mans tree .
  12. Footlocking is that some sort of dance Steady on old boy . I,m not trying to get faster just make my working enviroment a bit easier . May contact you after christmas if I cant get to grips with whatever system Ive chosen or for just general advice .
  13. Very good / fast I was speaking to him at the APF Cannock Chase . He showed me his foot locking and it was light speed .He was quite helpful . Although I wasnt really thinking about changing climbing systems at that time . Would love to pick his brains now tho .
  14. :lol: A pink one .
  15. Yes I did like that vice bolted to the drop sides
  16. I,m staying away from that VT . Dude had a little go and that mother **** me right up . Ascending was cool Descending wwwwwooooooowww fast man like fast .:lol:
  17. Hey noob stop pinching my mentor Rupe . :lol:
  18. Rupe that is proper cool and may well take you up on that offer . Ive done the pulley thing only with a blakes though . I do fancy the Distel / Shwabish . I,ll take it slow as changing your game at 38 may be like taking the horse to water . Teaching old dogs and all that .
  19. You need to get the Sawpod fleece out for work . Dude check out the pics Rupe put up cooking eggs , man Im in the stone age What you on about soup beans theres work to be done . Well just 1 more day and RR .
  20. WOW I need to get with it . Eggs cooking in van and hot water . You,ll have one of those bloody solar showers next
  21. Rupe that comment has made my day . Cheers Paul . I always knew there were better systems .Its just making an effort to change from something your so familiar with . All these years on the prussic and blakes . Doh I need sectioned .
  22. Surely you dont take the jet boil to work . Are the jackets lined ?
  23. Yeaa haaa All ordered now Cinch , rope grab , pulleys etc . Also some decent 10mm rope for the cinch . Booked some good trees in after crimbo . Hey did you ever get one of those jackets from GO Outdoors ? My climbing has been the same for years. If it aint broke dont fix it . Some of these guys on here have just opened my eyes . Ive been stagnant for so long cant wait now . Will have a few days playing with them before going back to work . Whats your climbing system ?
