If in doubt smash it out!

I think when you go replacing crucial elements on a harness you are asking for trouble.Rigging plates and steel connectors sound bad.I don't really see what your trying to achieve with this setup,looks bulky and very unconventional.Yes i know everyone has their preference for different setup's but you have said you don't have much experience climbing and with that you should be keeping it basic as possible and once you have gained some experience seen other people setup's then you can start building something from experience.This setup that you have will not be functional in everyday tree work,maybe just for access fine,but moving about in tight crotches,ivy and epi growth i think you will struggle.

My wife and daughter went a couple of yrs ago and said it was amazing,i managed a day there as well,did help Mark Todd winning!

If your relatively new to climbing would it be best not to start on a friction hitch to build your strength and gain more experience rather then this setup you use now? Like Worcswuss Said you almost have a srt setup there? Don't take what im saying the wrong way just trying to help.

Agree, i haven't seen this device in person but looked at a ton of pics and info on it and it doesn't seem very fit for arb purpose,ive never seen anyone on one in my time,looks like it would be good for rope access work though. Be good to see some pictures of your setup Drsteeve im intrigued?.

Is a petzl id not just for decent?I had a zigzag and now back to a hitch climber all just run off one biner secured to a ring on the sequoia?
-
We have storage heaters,they were brand new when installed and never go over 90quid a month,God knows how you managed that in 3 weeks?
-
Yeah im in the same boat,i think they have looked at some different sites at prices can be very different depending on who you go through,What i wanted only came up to about £130 and i know i can get it cheaper from other places,so think ill just get the refund as well and buy cheaper!

How far are you prepared to go to get work?
nz paul replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in General chat
I live in Anstruther,Fife and had a job in Dunkeld/Perthshire last week and was driving 160mile round trip about 3hours in total.Wouldn't want to do much more then that. Unless it was a big contract and it was possible to stay away. -
PETZL ZigZag's Purchased from Honey Brothers FULL Recall Procedure
nz paul replied to Honey Bros's topic in Climbers talk
Just rang Lyon equipment and all the relevant info for retrieval of zz and info on credit or refund is in the pack.If people want it done quickly then i would advise ringing Lyon direct and providing postage details. -
Im thinking about the extra 30 percent as well,takes it up to about the 200quid mark,thinking about bit of srt gear.

Coming into and out of summer i enjoy,easy to get out of the van and get up a tree when the weathers nice and it's not to warm which obviously means more productivity.Winter is not very nice,cold wet etc..harder to get access to a lot of places for work when it's wet and grounds soft,and motivation for me is hard to get when it's like that

Ive got plenty or work,ive been in sweden since august last year,and have got a bit with the forestry commission for a couple of weeks,im just speaking in general,people dont wana pay in Scotland for sub climbers ive found.
-
Im in Fife and having been looking around and there's all unless you like working for peanuts!
-
I agree the internet and Facebook have so much crap on its hard to know whats real and what isn't,this whole thing could be made up.I'm still going to be climbing on mine,will keep and eye on it but way to much scare mongering etc.. on the net!

WARNING IMPORTANT! ACCIDENT WITH ZIGZAG!! Today 15:22 am by HOLGER I just received the message that a crash related to the PETZL ZIGZAG has occurred! Thomas Bohl, head of the FSB Oerrel was a few hours ago called directly from the victim ... so it's not a rumor! The climber, an employee of the city of Celle with its brand new ZIGZAG crashed from 5 meters because the TOP GOLDEN attachment loop is broken ... so free fall! The climbers it goes under the circumstances .... seriously injured but he is not sure in medical treatment. Is exactly clear up the situation, one should refrain from using the device ... that also please give out to all the users of which you know that they use the best ZIGZAG ... immediately!

Thanks for the advice ive had all the pretty and expensive trousers but am really on a budget until more money starts coming in.
-
Ive spent a bit of money of late on kit and am needing some new trousers as i've lost a bit of weight and the XL's i'm wearing are hanging off me.Anyone got any ideas?i have been looking around quite a bit but can't really find anything suitable for the right price.I don't need anything fancy just trousers that i can climb and ground with comfortably,Preferably type c but will take get A's if the price is right?. Thanks in advance. Paul.

Think all you guys are missing the point i bet 99 percent chance they are travellers! There you go i said it,I see it all the time,generally their transits aren't in the best shape, you can spot it a mile away!

Well ive met and worked with the ''bell end'' and it's a total justifiable statement,would warn everyone from going anywhere near working with him.
