  7. We did a bit of this at college last year, and I believe the most used technique was to use some sort of flat strop, stapled to the bat box and place wherever desired on the stem.
  8. I know it crazy right? He wasnt just telling me to be a bit weary either, he was urgently stating that these helmets MUST NEVER be used as it will get me into major trouble regarding insurance. god knows. In my eyes hes just lost a customer.
  9. Went down to my local rock climbing store today to get some new base layers slings etc.. plus to grab a new climbing hat. Tried on a few including the Petzl Elios, Ecrin Roc and Black Diamond Half Dome. After a fair bit of testing I decided on the Black Diamond offering, and also after seeing on the head of Steve Bullman when I did a few days work for him a while ago, was pretty sure it was up to spec. chose it cos its super light/comfy and also felt fairly well ventilated. Went up to the counter to pay and the clerk asked me what I activity I was planning on using it for, I mentioned I was a tree worker and was fed up with muffs so thought I would go for a high end hat. He the said that "The half dome is not designed for use as an idustrial hat along with all the others they stocked, only sport usage, the only hat validated for use is the 'Ecrin Best'. " This seems a bit odd to me as I have seen loads of people use the Elios and Ecrin Roc, aswell as a couple with the Black Diamond, What do you guys think? Thanks in advance , Matt.

  14. Yeah I use Tachyon and its fantastic, I use a hitch climber and either ocean polyester, beeline, liros or sirius, the beeline is best in my opinion.
