Teufelberg ce lanyard as 2nd climbing system?
Adam Bourne replied to born2trot's topic in Climbers talk

I'm not to far from you Pete, how much you had mate? Not a drop of anything here in Spalding but the wind is blowing, disrupted the power for a couple of hours last night, some scattered snow/sleet showers possible through out the day according to the weather.

What's everyone's view on this? will I notice the difference? Is it worth sticking a raised air intake on the 372xp? And how much would it all cost? Thanks in advance........ Adam

Subby job today 70 conny's to 6ft stumps nothing massive 50-60ish foot, most of them were felled, but thought I would get the wrench out for a bit of traversing where straight fells were not able, so knocking the tops out made them fell into the drop zone, all I'm going to say at this point is WOW! No friction no worries just redirect drop the top jump across the next same again redirect drop the top...... Once I get the chance to look over the thread in more detail I guess I'll take and learn more, crazy really as I used the old one a hand full of times and it felt so unnatural and like I had never climbed before.... Sorry I never got no pictures just a real hectic day, great start to something I hated with a passion

Adam Bourne replied to born2trot's topic in Climbers talk
If you changed the pulley to a HC it would still be CE as the HC is CE'd and I doubt because you have changed the knot it would make a difference either mate, after all you would have to change the cord on it at some point so you re- tying either a vt or a distal would not change a thing about the system, me personally would like to see them giving the choice when buying the lanyard to have either HC or Pinto pulley..... I see no reason why you can't use it as a short secondary work line.... -
Sorry for being ignorant Ali and not catching up on the thread yet, what is the main idea behind the shackle? The tether on my set up is the one I used on the old wrench, works well then I just attach my lanyard to the centre attachment on the hitch climber ....

Simple Fir removal shot from some different angles
Adam Bourne replied to danholls's topic in Video forum
Nice one Dan, really enjoyed that and great camera angles.... -
What systems are you using now mate? If your up down up down clearing lines the the rope wrench would be well worth an investment, don't see how any friction device would make things easier for you to really notice a difference unless your using a basic system like a Prussic already? If your unsure about SRT and still prefer Ddrt then I agree get your self a nice pulley saver or art cambium saver there awesome and well worth it, spider jacks, lock jacks hitch and pulleys are all relatively the same and would be down to personnel preference to what answer you get on here, so my advice would be to try a few out first, either by other work colleagues or down your local arb shop. What ever it is you decide to try remember low and slow, stay safe, and have fun. Adam

I have had plenty of dreams about cavities before but there certainly wasn't no trees involved

So I was out with a local tree officer at the time of this post and showed him the fungi app, they were very impressed, the only reason I never thought of Coprinus was the first image on the app kind of through me off but then when I read these replys on site we then looked at the app for picture reference and boom! Thanks guys:thumbup1:

Photos??? Would not put me of mate, the thought of your Cherry's in my face is quite appealing...... NOT! That's ok but I asked what you wear on top, but from your original post I take it, it's the wife's bra? Never heard anyone wearing a g string as a chest ascender before? Other than the above some good posts, what you you all prefer as a top layer ? Hoody, fleece, soft shell jacket?

Just to confirm, I have just tried to order 2, T540XP's from my local dealer and they said it will be February before there released........ What a joke:thumbdown:

Good positive thread dave.... I feel the same way, my company is small and 75% of my work comes from contract climbing, I do advertise on yell.com and a have public and employers liability insurance for private work. I started to notice a change in August but now I'm struggling to keep up with my private work and I have a lot of recommendations come in just lately, it certainly is the busiest I been in 3 years, Ok! most of my own work is from general public, but I also get recommendations from 3 of my local authority's. which I think is great considering I only use subbys myself. I do hope it carries on like this and is not just a blip, but I'm gonna work hard and enjoy it while it last...... Adam

Awesome set of pictures there benn:thumbup:

Ok I know most of us on here are wearing on our legs with the exception of other country's having different h&s rules, but what I want to know is what your wearing on top? Do you wear old clothes you don't use for best anymore? Do you buy clothes for work that were cheap...ish? Or do you go the whole hog and buy clothes designed for climbing? I bought a pack of vest tops from some cheap shop and normally wear an old t-shirt over the top then I either wear an old hoody, also a army fleece depending which is clean, or my waterproof regarter jacket, I paid a little for but it does the job.....and it's a little cheaper than the arb makes out there! So are you a classy climber or a .............? Not so classy climber?
