111m (that's a fact) ..... I think.

Agreed. I woke the wife up to tell her!

15 and a half tonnes

How did you get on with splicing used rope?

I would agree. Ichneumon suspiciosus would be my guess.

Petzl preliminary conclusions
WeeDee replied to kevin bingham's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Yes, I accept what you're saying. My mistake, in reading, was to presume it meant that the climber exerted this constant force on the anchor point. Thanks. -
Or someone lying like a starfish? Maybe it's a bit like those ink-blot tests - you see what you think.

Oh - stop with all that David Bellamy technical talk, will you!

Petzl preliminary conclusions
WeeDee replied to kevin bingham's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Thanks Kevin. So the force, at particular points in time, can be up to 50% greater than the climber's weight. -
Petzl preliminary conclusions
WeeDee replied to kevin bingham's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
I can understand points 2, 3, 4 and 5 but not 1! Can someone please explain how a climber hanging from a single point can generate a force greater than his weight? (Assuming the climber is static) I could be missing something but need help. -
Two tramps sitting in a cemetery, looking around and thinking. George, when I die will you visit my grave and pour a bottle of whiskey all over it? Would you do that for me, old friend? Of course I will, but do you mind if I pass it through my kidneys first?

These two tramps are sitting on a park bench and one of them is wearing only one shoe. His friend looks curiously at the odd feet and asks 'You loose a shoe?' 'No' is the reply. 'I found one'.

The badger's brilliant! Not too 'over-done'. Just perfect.

Everyone nose that.....

Yeah Ted, go ahead and annoy us all! Aloha Dan.

Yeah, I was also looking at all the other wee bits of rope in the pictures too.

I know a Linda Hand.

Drew, is all your own stuff stitched nowadays, rather than spliced?
-
NO WAY ......... I've spent enough on them already!
-
There's something that makes me think they're not qualified chainsaw operatives .......... I've got it! The girl on the right doesn't lock her left thumb fully round the handle! Phew, they almost had me fooled.

How can the price be fixed if you were able to buy it £80 cheaper?

When TV gardener Percy Thrower died, there was a big turnip at the funeral ...
-
This might give some food for thought.

I think it contradicts one of the Ten Commandments - Love Thy Navel.
