If using gadgets will prolong my climbing shelf life then I'm all for it. It's all about self-preservation

Nice idea Mark, that's always a nightmare when the line cuts into a branch -
I know and it's not going to stop me from buying one i just wanted to know the finer details of using at work
-
But you've got to find a loler inspector who'll pass it. I know a few who would definitely advise against using it. And loler-ing still doesn't solve the fact it's not CE marked as far as the insurer is concerned
-
I was lucky enough today to have a go on Bens uni and have to say I'm sold! But I was wondering if anyone knew what the deal is with using it in the uk with regards to CE marks and insurance etc etc boring boring haha Thanks again Ben, good to meet you dude

The 11mm is kernmaster The 11.7 is bluetongue/imori/blue moon/what ever And 13mm is xtc All made by Yale in fletcher Stuart (aka stein) colours with their own name for it (hedera)

I use velocity on a daily basis and it is nothing like hedera Ian

dude hedera is kernmaster so its up to you whether you like orange or green:thumbup:

It is kernmaster just in steins colours. I've only had a quick go on it. It was ok but my hitch felt really rough and bumpy as I was descending on it, but it's nice on ascent

Had a big beech riddled with ganoderma and a nasty old wound about 5-6m up the stem with more gano coming out of that. It was in a woodland so was well sheltered from the strong winds except for the very top. I was boshing whole limbs of as we had a digger to clear it up, and was try to bosh strategically to keep the weight even on the tree as it was leaning nastily as well. Got every thing off except for the top and whilst waiting for a bigger saw I heard a crack then I vibration run up the stem followed by another crack an vibration, And I absolutely crapped my pants and shouted down to hurry up with the saw because all I wanted to do was get the top off and get down, scary as hell
-
Haha I needed something to take the heat coz I go up the tree so fast NOT
-
Yeah dmm's connect to the lower d's on my TM and I use an elastic necklace with a small kong carabiner to clip to the croll, I also covered the elastic with a length of cover from some amour prus 8mm
