    I prefer the shackle on the bottom hole Gustharts. Seems to work better for me on the ABR tether and has minimal or no sit back in the system. sits just slightly too high on the top hole for a chest or neck loop and then you have too advance it by hand when at your work station. J8)

    Agreed. If I could combine the two ropes I would. Tachity. J:thumbup1:

    Ha. I used to work in Goblin coombe for the tree firm (well Brockley coombe)and also worked in the timber yard for a while too. Beautiful place eh! J:thumbup1:

    Cougars a fantastic rope, low stretch, feels nice, knots well everything you need. Not sure how easy to get hold of it is though. Tree worker I think. J:thumbup1:

    That's right rover, Morton Bay Fig. Perhaps I should have started a new thread instead of posting on top of an old one. What ya think? J:)

    The hitch is the system you should be focusing on, not the wrench. Makes no difference how far away the wrench is. Tie a shorter, tighter hitch if your used to SJ. J:thumbup1:
  15. Jake Andrews
    Yes! J:thumbup1:

    Mmmmmmmmmmm VB:biggrin: Mark I've made my own HAAS and have no issues like your describing. Only difference is I have a croll instead. I get 2 feet off the floor and it slips through beautifully on Tachyon. Maybe the rope like you said. J:thumbup1:

    Not sure on British standard but I think I remember reading cables be 30cm apart in the ISA approved arborist book. They appear to close to each other and too thin. However this is an assumption on the photo you've provided. J:thumbup1: On a second look, cables may not be to small, hard to say without seeing what there supporting. J
  18. Jake Andrews
    We use both and I personally believe there are situations for both. Was it necessary to instal in the first place, bifurcated union etc? If so perhaps a little end weight reduction and re installation of cable. We also have no idea of targets etc. J:thumbup1:

    Maybe the top krab on the SJ. Gives more distance for the ascender to move up the bungee giving a bigger step. I can't think why it wouldn't work but I'll give it a go this weekend and let you know. J:thumbup1:

    Mate Pin oaks are the worst. About now is the only time they give me pleasure. And that's just too look at not climb:sneaky2: J:thumbup1:

    I used to go there often as a kid (grew up in the area). Are the big Limes still near the basketball court? J:thumbup1:

    Hey Xman, any chance of making the vid viewable for portable devices? J:thumbup1:
  25. Jake Andrews
    Is that a solid cheek pulley with the HH in between it? J:thumbup1:
