Or maybe his dreads are fastened to the helmet, and come off after work!

You're just showing off now, Drew. And anyway, it's hardly 'climbing' - you should look for a BBQ thread instead.

I'm a climbing instructor - still work a bit at it. Away from home I've climbed rock in the Alps, and rock and ice in Canada. Most of the kayaking I do nowadays is off the Irish coast. Go on - give us a story.

Does the splice on your rope fit through your rope guide?

I've always favoured the SECOND fastest way of descending from a tree! -
Due to their definition you might not get many answers to this one.

Well that sinks my theory! I thought that maybe the spacer with a threaded line might have been a contributing factor. -
Maybe the bit just after the end.

Why not? (sorry John) -

ART might define 'compatible' in the sense that a 13mm rope will run through the sheave and when retrieving the RG - the clean end of the rope is to be used. -
I suppose this is why people like Reg Coates should be applauded - for finding answers.

Is your pinto threaded through with the prusik line or is it connected by two separate tails? -

The spliced eye on Imori fits through a Pinto Rig. -
Absolutely brilliant! A shopping trolley that climbs trees. I particularly liked the patented safety seat. And they say HSE doesn't stiffle innovation!

Usually not. If a sling is described as 120cm, then its made of 240cm of tape (ignoring the extra needed for joining the ends). ie. the SLING is 120cm long, not the tape required to make it. You could always enquire from the seller just what exactly is meant.

:congrats: Eloquently voiced. Couldn't agree more.

At 43 yrs, half the time I can't remember MY age - the other half I just wish I couldn't. Thanks.
-
I agree. Thanks for posting. Can I ask - How well did the helmet work (or not work) in the event of the tumble? And I ask out of genuine nosiness - no judgements, promise.

Five months until the end of a three-year course? Have you heard the one about the channel swimmer who was few miles from the French coast and feeling so tired that he quit the attempt and swam back home. Come on - you know it makes sense to finish the job.
-
Nice work - and what a song!
-
Pedroski - how do you use a lanyard with your harness? I didn't think the Renegade had side D-rings. Is all the positioning from the one central attachment point?
-
David - you'll never pull that out with just a big yellow strop and a couple of pulleys!
-
Using it as a ropeguide, will the end of your rope pull through the small pulley?
-
Now I understand what you're talking about - I know that knot as the Kreuzklem. TBH I never rated it that highly because it could bind like a prusik. You've obviously got it working 'just right' for your set-up.
-
You might get a good offer from some of the carvers for a 200 back-handle.
-
No, you're correct, James. To get round this problem, it's being suggested that the whole friction hitch and Hitchclimber be moved away from the climber so that he can pull from below. The positioning of this is usually temporary, with the hitch being brought back to the climber's harness once the 'work' begins.
