    One thing I've noticed in some online videos, and in use, is that the Reflex appears to maybe have a "sidedness". The ISC manual shows left handed use of the Reflex links. This would be with the Red side of the Swing Frame towards the user. Part 21 of the device - ISC calls this the Rope...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    What kicked this hunt off for me was trying to use a pulley get the chipper outta a backyard on Monday, way, way down a steep side yard on loose gravel/ landscape rock. I like the idea of a clamp on off road-able wheel rig to bounce the front leg over the stones. Winch woulda been wonderful too...

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    In addition to above, I find adjusting the length of the bridges changes my center of gravity a bit so I'm more comfortable/ sitting. That's one thing I really like on a long day 'cuz I can vary use of my muscle groups a bit. DMM put out some really quite good adjustment videos with Taylor Hamel...

    And maybe something for moving your small chipper around? Add a winch drum somewhere for those steep side yards . . . . .

    I just use a DMM Ultra O - the plastic grommet allows easy install/ removal and I like that the biner doesn't flop around - makes a great setup with an Arbsession Caralink tether (mine is glued rigid) with an ISC Apex.

    So have another question about the Reflex - does anyone out there have any experience with it in a V rig or M rig kind of situation? The ZZ is OK and Hitch Climber is nifty for these. If Reflex is OK with it then it would about complete it for me (not climbing now - still shovelling white stuff...

    Replace suspension in kask super plasma?

    Offshore scramble competitor for Petzl? Sure has the bits and pieces and has CE marking? Who knows . . . I like my Protos but not at the new prices, up here anyway. So I'd probably go with a good old Petzl esp. if I didn't have to buy visor and muffs separately too. Somebody in another thread...

    Do I have a problem?

    This is right up there with a question my wife asks me from time to time . . . . "Don't you think 11 pairs of backcountry skis are a little too much"? "Em, no" (and then quickly disappearing back into the Cave of Wonders)?

    I think it's not just the top "bird" somehow (maybe a stiffer spring here would be nice?). For all the ropes I've tried so far, smoothest descent was when I've switched to a leather glove on the left hand, holding the whole zig zaggy bit and throttling the links with the leather glove. ISC...

    Around ~82 kg (~180 lbs) w/o harness and the kitchen sink. StatX just fits into the CRIC but I'm not sure if the 11.8's or larger would so for me that's a "rope selection criteria" too. After using StatX last fall on all sorts of jobs I still really like it. It kinda feels to me like a slightly...
