    Hi mate, I'd guess you'll be working but I'm visiting Kew on tuesday, if you are free and fancy a beer let me know:thumbup:

    He's smarter than you think, the first one was a quick exit because he realised he forgot his helmet:lol:

    Bump.

    If you were using the hitchless roller with a frog walker system and the hand ascender failed, and came down onto the top of the roller, would it be disengaged or is the release/descend mode a particular action that wouldn't be affected?
  5. Dan Curtis
    That link didn't work for me....

    Have you still got your alaskan?

  7. Dan Curtis
    Lots of descenders out there, simplest way to do it is a munter hitch with a prussik backup, right up to the big money petzl ID
  8. Dan Curtis
    If you're set on SRT, a swivel is fairly irrelevant, though the petzl ring idea sounds good. Either that or fit the rings and a sequoia bridge, the swivel will fit that too. I'd check anything with your loler inspector BEFORE making any mods though

    Interesting how they seem to have a flat cut on top...pyroclastic flow or similar perhaps?

    I guess I'm in too late to be of any help but good on you guys, this thread is a testament to the power of Arbtalk and the validity of online communities:thumbup:

    Somehow I missed that you'd replied. No not yet, looking to buy or build now. Been away working most of the last few weeks so not made much difference recently

    You could punt out a bit from the limb with your spare foot and give a big stride on the pantin to get past, just make sure your fingers are clear when you come back into the limb.

    Any converts from trying out the wrench at the arb show demo's? Had a play with the unicender and rw together, makes the uni much smoother in full descent mode, possibly the next step from the lockjack/rw combo?
  14. Dan Curtis
    Not sure, they must have been blazing though! Anyone know if the full results have been published yet?
  15. Dan Curtis
    Try Nigel Sargesson, the lincs tree and woodland officer. Amazing carver!
  16. Dan Curtis
    Well done arran, I missed all of the comp, well most of the show really, was too busy with the demos!
  17. Dan Curtis
    I'll join you

    Hi mate, you still working or gone travelling?

  19. Dan Curtis
    No, I meant what I put but in reference to his "sexy" VT
  20. Dan Curtis
    Yeah, it's another compact climbing system for work positioning etc.

    Advanced Ropeclimbing Technology. A manufacturer, the make the Lockjack and Spiderjack amongst other things

    Srt is single rope technique. The way Ian and I climb. You and the other guys climb Ddrt - doubled rope technique

    Idea

    Dan Curtis replied to Tom10's topic in Climbers talk

    I use my grillon in a similar way to the ce lanyard single length system. A little add in prussik with a bridge ring to clip into, to keep your krab from rubbing/ cross loading on the branch. You can do the same with a spike set away from the branch too
  24. Dan Curtis
    If you go srt, shorten up that hitch, reduce the sitback and be super efficient:thumbup1:
