  10. Makes sense to me . I,m about to tackle the same thing after Christmas . Hope the response is good
  11. I had asked for Arboricultural Contractor to be put on my van and the sign man put Agricultural Contractor ? I said its wrong and he replied whats the difference ? So it now says TREE WORK keep it simple
  12. Very valid point Ewan
  13. Great little device for sure and super smooth in the tree . Better than my rope grab .
  14. Ive used mine in the same way . I also used it choked off on a stem when chogging down so I can descend from just the stem . But I use my grigri for this purpose 90% of the time . My next buy is the Petzl Rig and some 11mm blaze to run it on . I will get a pic on here tomoz of my Dynamic line
  15. The Cinch was designed primarily as a belay device to be used with Dynamic rope for top roping of rock climbers . In the event of a fall the stretch in the dynamic rope limits the shock on the climber . I personally use dynamic because its what the cinch was designed to be used with and Ive got 160 metres of the stuff to use up On a lanyard static rope would be fine I would not like to shock load the cinch from a height while running a static rope as it was not designed to work in this way . Although if slack was kept to a minimum then all should be good . How are you using yours?
  16. You don't notice the stretch on the lanyard with it being a short length of rope . Well I don't notice any stretch and if you do it will be minimal . I've used Dynamic rope with my cinch from the day I bought it. Apart from once trying some static line . The Dynamic rope wears out quicker than than static rope .
  17. Yeah dynamic is a rock climbing line and has a stretch in it . Dynamic is used when the fall potential is high . The Cinch is a mint little device . Hope it works out well for ya Red cool
  18. It will work well on 9mm . Although it was designed to be used with a dynamic climbing line . I can't see a problem as it's main use in tree work is on the lanyard . What colour did you get ?
  19. Some crackers so far :lol:
