Backpain, sorry to hear this. Where in the Midlands are you? I can sort you a spare (basic) climbing kit and a couple of saws to keep you going in the mean time if that would help? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Fair enough Marc, I guess it depends on how much of your work is in construction. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Its a tiny amount compared to what that ticket enables you to earn. £120 per employee for a morning. Each lad will earn the company that on a commercial job by the time they've unloaded the van. Of course you could opt out, and see how lucrative that option is? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Rubbish. The first mornings work four those lads would cover that. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

For a pinto DB is simple enough. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I thought you could do it? I just use a link pulley for pulley savers etc. Much easier. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Pfanner stretch flex. They don't last for long climbing, and are never the same once washed, but they're great. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Having a second harness and all the gubbins attached to it would cost me far too much! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I have one of those foothills that just goes on your boots and stays on. You can wear it under your spikes. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Now if money were no object... Good shout! It happens anyway if I've had more than a couple of beers after work. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Cheers, ideally it'd have to be enclosed, otherwise it's not much different to a radiator though. My thoughts were that a dehumidifier would be more effective with great to draw out out of the clothes. Might have to insulate the box to. I reckon that's the way to go though Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

There you go Huck, your Willans and 3 knot system would give you change from a fiver! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Smug bastard, I didn't know they existed! At £700 for a half decent one though I'm back to the drawing board! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

If that's what you're doing on the internet you've exhausted all of the big boy sites. Make sure you keep hydrated. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Yeah, if I put my treemotion if be wishing that wet kit was my only worry. Looking at it a sealed box with a tubular heater and small dehumidifier could be a goer. £70 for the appliances and whatever the materials cost. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Afternoon gents. It's Monday and my kit is soaked. The idea of putting on a soggy harness and wringing prussik gravy out off my sleeves afterwards it's making me want to take a bath with a toaster. Thinking of knocking up a drying cupboard for wet kit on the outside of my garage. Just some marine ply with a vent and some kind of heater. Bit stuck on the heater part though. Needs to be fairly low draw but enough to dry a wet climbing kit overnight. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd be after 75% after spending out that much! Mind you 7.5% would be an improvement for me. It's help if I didn't reach for the big shot every time i guess Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Big shot versus Stein Tekichu throw bag launcher attachment
Joe Newton replied to charlie's topic in Climbers talk
Hi Nigel, thanks for your reply. This thread prompted me to bring out the Tekichu today. I've only used it a few times as the work big shot gets the most use. I have to say I was disappointed. Considering it's use, the pins that the arms lock into have broken meaning that the arms float freely. The basket that holds the throw bag is flimsy and lets the bag fall out before release. The rubber is significantly weaker than the Jameson too meaning a lot less power. Every time you fire it the rubber comes off the arm. I'm frustrated enough to bin it and buy the Big Shot. I appreciate that you've tried to improve on the competition for all industries but when I called it over complicated it seems I was right. I'm not Stein bashing here. I use and rate a lot off your products, and generally have a lot of respect for Stein as a company it's just a shame that this product is unfortunately not fit for purpose. I'd be happy to send photos. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app -

I pop an ascender on over my spikes on srt. That way you can ascend normally with a Haas system, or clip your neck/chest tether in as well as your panting, and just spike up the stem, with your system advancing as you go. You don't even need a lanyard unless it's a really far or smooth stem. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

There is almost never an excuse. Justifying it like that is just plain lazy. If you're going to attempt to do something, start out by doing it right. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
