Will do, now you mention it that's where I got my last one. Thanks

Can anyone advise me as to which online shop (uk) is selling Treemotion harness (non lightweight) at a competitive rate? I could just look myself but as there's so many online shops to check I thought one of you guys might be able to save me a few hours and £s. Thanks

Dead and hollow! Love this shitaki first thing on a Monday morning

I'm sub contracting on a working holiday visa. Just need an ABN, takes a week or so to come once you get here. Customs were a nightmare though. If I was doing it again I wouldn't mention the 'tree' on the parcel description.

Shut up and get back to work!

Into a beast

Thanks for the tips, but I'm not working in the rain (I'm in oz not Halifax, this year anyway). Keep my rope clean, always in a rope bag. Always slow descents, use figure of 8 when possible and use two fingers on the rope to take some friction (don't bother with the wooden thing, it came off years ago) I do however always use a rope saver even on take downs and think that takes it's toll on the cams. Anyway I'm not too fused about having to replace them, I think it's a fantastic piece of kit and if it costs me 50p a day to have it working at it's best then so be it. Thanks anyway guys

Blake's hitch haha, the dark ages passed a long time ago.

They don't make em how they used to ey I'll buy it off you! How much?

Jeanesy as in Dan Jeans? I reckon they should bring out a titanium one

When it stops locking and starts slipping, it goes in the bin. 16 months how often are you climbing on it? Do you use a rope saver?

Just curious to know how long your lockjack clutch/cams last? I seem to be burning them out pretty quick. A 12/13mm cam (on a Yale xtc fire rope with rope saver) lasts around 4/5 weeks. I keep my rope as clean as possible and I don't hammer it when descending. Can I get better results on a different rope? Cheers

It's smart arses like you, who ruin arbtalk

Keep hydrated. I once read; 10% dehydration is 10% loss of concentration

Thanks very much chaps. All went very smoothly. Good advice and the video made it a lot less daunting. Thanks again.
