  1. Cool, looking forward to that. And no, I haven't seen the Liriodendron yet, have to ask the long suffering Amanda to find it for me, she works in Dundas, off Highway 8. Defo looking forward to a pint, what I crave most of all has to be Timmies!! Looks like the ropeknight is a must, I'll be sure to give it a fair test and give you some feedback. Cheers buddy.
  2. Need more of these kind of jobs, where you really have to plan the rigging carefully. Nice effect filming into the sun.
  3. Thomas Issue 1: 1 hand v 2 hands- very full article, has definitely made me think carefully about my technique for a difficult cut. Issue 2: making the cut- good to have them listed in one place with pros and cons for each. I now visualise each cut before making it, and it really works! Issue 3: positioning- good to get a basic understanding of biomechanics. Arb climbing is physically demanding on even a fit person- good to learn how to be efficient, how to use gravity not fight it etc. Really enjoy the technical side of climbing, come from an engineering background so I always follow the new bits of kit (RK, rope wrench etc) with interest. This said, I'm only happy high in a tree! BTW I worked out in Canada for 5 months a couple years back, wished I'd never left! I have a girlfriend in Hamilton, hopefully coming to see her again soon.

  4. Guilty of that, set up a ring bolted into a joist above the stairs... While jumping in the deep end is good for some things, SRT ain't one of them. I learned it low & slow in the comfort of my own home! Harness? Gotta be theTreemotion.
  5. Thomas, any chance of there being a couple at the AA Arb show coming up over here in June? Been following this with interest and would like to see one in the flesh. Also enjoying your articles in Arbclimber mag.
  6. Last pic was too small, try this..
