  1. yea send a pic in peter, so with the cinch can it be used as a second climbing line too?
  2. hi just wondering what the recent opinion on the trango cinch is? iv read the other posts about it, but what do the users think about them after all this time, better than a friction hitch? and what is the best rope to do with it?
  3. i use isc mini mouse, or is it hms? cant remember, but it works real well and it really close to the body which i like, just a real real pain in the ass to get on my swivel, but once on, all great
  4. awsome albere, i really want the spiderjack to work single line some how haha
  5. do you recon they are as well made as the stretch air?
  6. thanks alot mate
  7. love to see a video of a climb someone please
  8. rubber bits are better i used to use the plastic clips but i prefer these, when i climb i have the two blak rubber bits as tight up to either side of the spiderjack leg, even tighter on the right hand side than i do in that pic, you want to keep it as upright and straight on your crab as possible, my sj looks battered in pictures hahaha
  9. is the spiderjack still self tending?
  10. you need to put one rubber stop to left of the spiderjack arm, the othere between the arm and dyneema ring loop, this keeps it all straight, like you have it is keeping the sling in at a angle, ill take a pic in a bit
  11. which size lid goes with that tub?
  12. you get the cover from that site as well? and could you fit all your kit that i listed in it?
  13. looking at getting somthing to hold a 60m 14mm rope along with a couple of pulling ropes, slings, whoopie slings and blocks, and i want it to keep the 60m rope in it while lowering, maybe dmm bag? waver bag? or that big red bull rope? any suggestions?
  14. just redo the knot into a vt then watch this video then you might be able to work it out more [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-LSbQfNCNU]CElanyard - YouTube[/ame]
  15. in my opinion, even though i use a spiderjack and not a hc, a pulleysaver or similar with a pulley, makes a huge difference, prob more than the rope you use in my opinion, once you have it you won't look back
  16. i use a double snapper for my ART rope guide, surprisingly it works pretty well
  17. black diamond is great, and i got real real lucky on ebay £35:00 for a basically new one, fits everything in it
  18. as said velocity and if that is too thin i prefer tachyon
  19. i love my camelback bottle, really strong, easy to drink out of, many runners/gym goers use them, and its super light, plus no chemical poisoning haha [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/CamelBak-Better-Drink-Bottle-750ml/dp/B002YWHETW/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1342557207&sr=1-3-catcorr]Camelbak Better Bottle: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors[/ame]
  20. so far so good with the hose pipe i never thought of tieing them on, just to let you know and make u all jelous got my black diamond bag off ebay for £35:00 hahaha its just about new so needs protecting
  21. thats a pretty cool beech, but looks a little poorly haha you not get up it tom?
  22. its not that mate, its cos i got a new black diamond kit bag and i don't want to stab through it with spikes haha
  23. kind of get what you mean, anyone got any pics?
