Rope wrench issue for lighter climber
Joe Newton replied to JoshFromKY's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
I've found the same on tachyon, which is thinner than your rope. The only solution is thinner line. 11mm velocity is an absolute dream. The redirect thing is a hooks pint but doesn't remove the need for limbwalks altogether. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app -
Surely a subbies should get a rate that he has decided. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I reckon it's pretty safe. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

The echo is the only saw I use the fuel primer on. Cold start: 3x primer, choke on, pull over til you get a positive cough, choke off and go. It doesn't always like starting with the chainbrake on. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Have they made a pair of decent saw trousers that'll stand up to that!? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

They are similar fitting to the Hiflex (which was the one good thing about the stihl trousers) but I've had a good 18 months wear out of the Arbortecs and they're still holding up well, which is unheard of with Hiflex. They're also noticeably lighter too Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I remember one guy on my 38 that had tried to buy his kit beforehand. Must have had a dozen screw gates and other bits and bobs that were all unfit for purpose. Wait for your training before you splash out. You'll find what works for you and if you're even cut out for climbing before you blow any money. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

No sit back? Try the positioner too mate. I can lend you mine for a week or two if you like? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

How was it better than a short vt with a pulley mark? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Spud does work via mail. I can send thou his number if you like. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Agreed, I'm surprised you got away with that. I love my 441, it's a great saw. That said when it dies I can't think of a good reason to choose a 441 over the 461. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

For that to be any use you'd have to park it at the foot of your bed. This is the one of the reasons I decided not to set up doing my own jobs. All the stress and legislation. For what it's worth I'd rather run a 7.5t with similar capacity to a transit and know I was within the law. I'd business owners can't afford to do that then why are we even in this game?

I used to think that, then I bought a positioned. Does your hitch not get memory after a while making it a pain to take up slack? The positioner releases so easily, no matter how heavy the climber. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Not worth putting a cheaply made pot and piston on. They're cheap for a reason. What 2 stroke were you using? Was it well mixed? How fresh was the fuel? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

With the velocity it's a dream. Pretty static for a dry line too. I'd struggle to go back to tachyon Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Problem I find with the wrench is that any rope over 11mm creates too much drag for limb walks. You need to really put some weight into the system to get it to move. Not great on skinny branches. I'm using velocity with the wrench at the minute and its massively better. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

If it's the stitching attaching the padding surely it's not load bearing? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

A lad that used to work with me tried using my geckos over the crippling irons that the company had at the time. He liked them so much he clipped the leg pad with a topper. Prick. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

It makes you look domesticated. I referred to it once as the "clothes flatterner" and since then the ironing does itself! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
