  1. Up the Jones crew! Massively proud to be management of such a great firm. Both at work with the day to day running of the business to the outside banter, drinks and much like an extended family.
  2. Metal on metal, and the possibility of cross loading also.

    <p>The best helmet is in reality is down to personal preference. I personally rate the Stein helmets, I think they are well made with good comfortability. The Petzl Vertex vents are the next biggest seller but for me they just feel cheap. Others would disagree with me so as I said it's personal preference.</p>

    <p>Yeah I use to be sponsored by him for Compitition Climbing and then he employed me to be a close up magician at his local pub and then when I finished my degree in arboriculture he employed me full time so that I could relate to tree surgeons on a level and now I'm the Nights store manager and out front sales manager.</p>

  5. Marcus is spot on to be fair.... It is the kernmaster with a unique blend of technical fibres. I love it, climb on it most days though I have to say I don't have the same issues with rough descend. Perhaps that's down to hitch using?! I'm on the varied cooper hitch Boel hammerstrand showed me that I believe Paul Searle showed her and it's ace! = 4 wraps, 1 twist, around rope, 1twist and connect at front.

  11. Fair play buts it's good practice to take it off at the end of your day..... May have burnt through more than you think also by taking it off and re-tying when you next climb.... Evens out the wear around the cord and helps prevent the flatness you can get Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  16. Hello mate I posted this lat year but here it is again and just to let you know it's still awesome!! Arbtalk: The Stein vega harness (by Charlieboy) http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=709261#post709261 Hey guys, I have just come down for the day and thought id give some feed back on the stein vega harness. Can sum it up in one word...... Outstanding! Today I was up the tree for a good 3 and a half hours and when i got down I can honestly say it was more comfortable in the harness than out. The massive back support is fab and you know that ball crunching problem with leg loops than you can sometimes get..... their a killer right?! well with the different size harnesses ranging currently from 1 to 3 you have no problem with crunching the crown jewels any more! What I will say though it make sure you get that size right dont just buy the first one you try on ... try a couple of different sizes. Im a size 2 with a 34 waist. Other great factors on the harness are the hanging points, you have not only got your side d's as well as the ring on the bridge but an additional 2 rings you can use for your whole weight as a main line support. Just too top it off you can design your own tool loops to suit your climbing style and how you like to mount your gucci wear on your harness. Finally just as a little cheeky extra added bonus you can your free cb anchor point which sits at the back of your harness to attach your chainsaw lanyard to. All in all im massivly happy with my purchase and im hoping you will too! cheers, over and out! Sent from my iPhone Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
