yes mate any fixed cheeked pulley should be used with an oval beana if not you risk pulling the cheeks together, either damaging the pulley or worst causing your self an injury...
-

really excited about posting these and was even more excited to go back and see it after 8 years, local people can't make up there minds but around 450-600 years old, most of the top had died back 8 years ago so i reduced it down by approx 30% mass, to remove some wait to help preserve it, its not been touched since and is still or even more remarkable than i remembered.........sorry i'm a day late. it really is one to see and the new owners have said we're welcome any time so if your in the area.......

thank you for sparing me Daniel, i'm afraid us foreigners just can't be educated my dear friend....

:lol:forgive me oh great one .........my bad mate....

classic....... forgot you were from Holland mate..... is friesian something to do with horse's???
-
rigging /climbing rope .......NO using equipment for climbing after being used for rigging........NO the HC is designed for both climbing and light speedline/rigging applications but by no means the same piece of equipment should be used for both, have you not got a light 12mm/13mm Lowering Rope? and as rob has said pinto rig is an excellent pulley for light rigging
-
i see you had put up your AA approved on your facebook page....nice one for that mate.... still not ordered my RW yet but am really looking forward to using it when i do, be nice to put some of my input into this thread to, saying that, by the time i get it looks like we will be all climbing on bailing twine, and granny knots?
-
your point being?????????? just chill out mate, besides whats any of that got to do with your lovely climbing kit? have a beer or smoke and calm down before one of the mods tells you otherwise....
-
i would be careful about all you said there, as 99% of the big cats pay our wages, its hard out there, they do there bit we do ours, were all part of the system, with out it, it would all collapse,
-
you mean you would rather do something else???????/:sneaky2:
-
no danger there jammy:thumbup:, its good to have these types of debates nice to see everyones POV, when i say hobby i don't mean i do it just for the buzz, i love my job and doing it well and efficiently with minimum effort and stress is a must. i like buying new gear and i am a gear junkie, but no more then most on here, i do agree there are people (show boaters) out there that do work for the cost of there HP, i look at my work as a hobby for one reason 90% of it is all i know, which in this world at the minute is very stupid not to have a back up plan......i do feel though, how long most equipment e.g the cambium saver has been out long enough for it to be part of these assessments, not just for reasons to help aid the climber but for the health benefits of the tree, after all is it not why we all do this job?
-
you don't stop buying thats the whole point of a hobbie, i treat everything i buy like a condom, i would rather have it and not use it, than need it and not have it?????
-
says it all really, now i'm not saying that the Cambium Saver will make you better at climbing just see it as poor legislations , all i'm saying is the assessments should be more intense and longer, it would make a big difference to whom ever, with benefits like experience, confidence and most of all real competency...... well thats my opinion anyway others may vary?
-
First time free climbing - YouTube ooooohhhh that did not work just did it how i normally do it ?? i'll have another go! not sure what's wrong? anyway stay safe mate, be careful what your holding on to, see a few cringes in there holding on some deadwood?
-
rupe has got a valid point. the assessments are by no means what they should be they really need to tighten there braces and sort good practice from bad practice, i mean a cambium saver not even part of an assessment??????? whats next no chainsaw trousers for your cs39?
