    Agreed , a 10/11cm quickdraw sling would be charming in that set-up.

    Keep your eye on Ebay for some basic Klein , Bashlin or Buckingham straight steels.

    Like this ??? How to Tie Knut Hitch: How to Tie Hitch Knots | eHow.com Not seen that before , can't really see the application for for climbing.

    No problem mate , your welcome. Be worth anyone else using a flipline with VT/pulley etc set-up checking for that.
  13. slimjimvw
    Surely the eye of the flip line would jam in the pulley ? Have you tried it ?

    Regular straight steel buckinghams with cast alloy caddie/caddy pads here. Super comfy.
  15. slimjimvw
    Sorry to wander off topic slightly but do you still use a cut away ?
  16. slimjimvw
    Afraid not , it comes fitted to the flipline.

    Just treated myself to a new Yale Maxi-Sport with ISC 3-way snap and ISC mini rope grab. Couldn't be more pleased. I can't rate the ISC 3-way snap enough , i use one on my strop also. Brilliant bit of kit.

    Spike types

    slimjimvw replied to TFABW's topic in Climbers talk

    http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/17852-straight-v-twisted-spikes-2.html That may help , I've climbed on both and found the only difference comfort , the twisted shanks hurt like hell personally but i'm sure plenty of peeps climb on both.

    Feet warm?

    slimjimvw replied to RobArb's topic in General chat

    Boots in the house by the radiator so any moisture dries out every night. Not in the garage , back of the van or porch. -5 Steel toe caps take some warming up with body heat alone. Also going to vouch for a thin pair of socks with a good quality pair of thick socks on top , i favour Merino wool socks.
