    Haha if I ever fiddle it just makes everything worse and then makes me angry, I guess no one is selling armor pruss anymore? Shame if so. I quite like Sirius nice and cheap

    Do you guys enjoy the constant tweaking and adjusting? It's what made me switch to mechanical, I really like the idea of the HH but the constant adjustments put me off a wee bit.. Or have you found the right set up and are trying things for fun ?

    Very nice... You'll have to update how much you use it

    I really like it but a load of the firms I sub for have a Krab permanently attached to the rigging line with the tightest Fishermans knot known to man.. When I have my own rigging kit I reckon I'll own a set for sure..

    Not sure about the UK I've hung in one at treetools and IMO it's more comfy than a TM off the shelf but is mega £££

    What does detergent actually do to ropes? Just curious? it makes my ropes smell good. ;-)

    When you feel good about climbing decent grades or routes there is always someone 10 steps ahead of you no matter how strong you feel.. The strength of these boys is crazy..

    Got a few mates with them and only heard good things about them including in spikes, i used to wear really low profile hiking boots and they were more comfy in spikes than my meindls

    Any one have a problem with putting your earmuffs down and they keep popping back off your ears... They are really pissing me off now. Any solutions other than go back to husky earmuffs Ta

    Like said before bang a throwline into and basetie, you'll eventually get one In that runs down the backside.. Im sure you'd rather do that than spike up it and have to cut all the ivy off...

    When I was out in NZ we used to set up work/ comp climbs round the tree and just take turns getting round it.. People who wanted to be timed got timed and if you just wanted to have a jolly and do it in your own time you did. It will soon get your speed up and it's fun, we even had a 17 stone unit groundy up there doing the works climb which was awesome to watch. then after we drink beer...

    Cougar is a weird rope I think batches vary in quality, I had cougar blue which was amazing very static and never milked too much also really stiff which was good for the SJ , i also climbed on cougar puke at two different companies with 25m - 65m ropes and it milked like hell and was more bouncy... There is a cougar orange on treestuff now as well... But some people have had some quality cougar puke of here so who knows ? but at the end it all I would buy blue again

Great for strength

    I like wearing approach / hiking boots my last pair from decathlon were super comfy more than my Airstreams... Just don't drop anything on your toes.. For pruning I think they are way better

    I fancy a positioner but I often have my lanyard on my bridge when doing change overs , and then I ascend using my lanyard... Can a positioner be used like this as main life support? Ta Arran

    I used to have a George foreman version of this, used to keep it at the yard as no one apprieates 6am smoothies with ice. Would leave the unit at the yard all the time and just fill the beaker up with fruit and juice at home and buzz it up when I got to work.. Loved it need to get another
