  1. Just ordered my handbook, think its the right move for me at the moment as I would love to get out abroad. How have people found it? Pro's/ Con's Arran
  2. Just gone over to hitch climber in the last couple of weeks and still using my marlow gecko, I prefer 13mm from 11mm, ive used both and find 13mm nicer to my hands, way easier to footlock, and being heavier helps with self tending more. I like gecko but it can be a bit bouncy at times. Whats are the real top notch 13mm lines?, all opinions wanted!! Arran
  3. I would be really up for it if i can tag along please!!! Arran
  4. Spent the second half of my day strimming. For the first two hours everytime I went to take a hand off the throttle to grab something or to turn it off my left hand on the handle automatically bent forward as if to knock the chainbreak on. Made me laugh when i realised what I was doing, Anyone else have strange habits like this. Arran :001_rolleyes:
  5. I disagree, i use my sugoi in my sawpod and think its awesome, out the way when swinging about and what suprised me is that its awesome for topping coni hedges. nice to get your silky off your harness and out the way of your lanyard. looks cool. Worth the money Arran
  6. Ive just gone over to vt on my gecko and i think its so awesome, 13mm is heavier than the thinner ropes to self tends well after about 20ft, 13mm diametre is nice to my hands and is rreally good for footlocking. Win Win on a cheap rope Arran
  7. Awesome day, thanks Joe for helping with my vt set up, really rocking now Arran
  8. Just doing the math, 11 (66) to 15 (120) just shy of double the press ups big ask, try and crack it in a month Arran
  9. between 11 & 12, Really addictive would love to get to 15 (120) one dayyy!!
  10. Thurrock way is RIO (recycling in orsett) which is £33 a ton for green waste. Its a bit too far out for you to be worth your while but if you every end up this side of things they are their. Accounts with them are free, cant do any harm. Arran
  11. Where abouts in essex fella?

  14. How long cord do you guys uses? Thanks alot Arran

  16. Skipping sounds like a plan, Ive done a little and arms burn like hell. I understand the power to weight ratio thing, but i think im just going to be a heavy person, im 6 3" and 13 and half stone. But only got a 30 inch waist. I do climb in my spare time. I like to get a top anchor in wiz down to the bottom and then prussik up and time it. That kills me after a few times Does anyone do alot of benching and benifit? Arran
  17. What do you guys think the most relivant sport or workout would be to improve climbing? Im on a prussik still. Really want to start swimming in the morning beforee work and college Just trying to work out how you guys train. Arran
  18. Marlow Gecko 13mm. Well cheap and my first rope. Not as good as other ropes but if i can gain pace on a cheap rope when i finally move onto a nicer rope my climbing should speed up In theory
