    Canopy Anchors

    For me personally, it's about work positioning. Two ropes allows/encourages me to work in a way that's easier on my body. I can take two redirects and work two adjacent columns of a tree with one ascent. Taking awkward redirects is a lot less awkward with two ropes.

    Canopy Anchors

    Apologies for the clutter, but this setup worked perfectly for me the other day. I set the yellow StatX (200') from the ground and used a homemade soft 8 for an anchor. I had about 100' for retrieval and 100' to climb on. I then climbed up to my tie in with the purple Kalimba (~90') and set...

    Best 32 strand: blue 32, hyperstatic, squir etc

    Do you notice much of a difference in the diameter and weight of Squir and StatX? I use StatX and I love it, but it does feel pretty thick and heavy for 11.5.

    Two Rope Climbing

    I love this! What cordage did you use going through the thimble in the red thimblesaver?

    Beeline Splice Instructions

    Does anyone know; for splicing eyes onto Yale's Beeline, which splicing instructions on their website are the right ones to follow?

    Courant Kalimba

    Cons: The rope is rather heavy. Pros: VERY low elongation, pretty good hand and knotability for such a static kernmantle rope. I've used it with Rope Wrench, Rope Runner classic, Akimbo, and Hitch Hiker. It's been great with all of them.

    I ended up going a pretty different direction and trying out Drayer's Tango StatX. Its' a much heavier rope than I'm used to, but I really like it.

    Gear bags?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for something like the Courant cross, but smaller? 'm looking for a bag I can use just to keep miscellaneous hardware in and keep it organized. Maybe a saddle as well, but I'm committed to separate bags for my ropes.

    Canopy Anchors

    I haven't gotten around to the American clacker yet, but I'm only a few steps away. After talking to @SoftBankHawks I've started piggybacking a canobase to a soft 8, or just a cinched bowline or butterfly. He's inspired me to try climbing on 2 ropes, and I'm basically committed to it 99% of the...
