    New device from ISC

    The operation instruction manual for the Reflex is long. I worry about these devices where it requires a more sophisticated, educated user. Let's be honest; rope on rope solves a lot of user error issues...

    New device from ISC

    I have the zigzag plus and the reflex; I think the ZZ is more rope-like and intuitive but the REFLEX is burly. I don't like the swivel attachment point on the REFLEX with the ability to remove it. To be fair, I haven't removed the swivel yet. Also to be fair, that's the same point on the ZZ...

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    One of the most memorable experiences of my life was van camping in https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=413 J.Smith. It was a misty morning as we walked among the giants...and came upon a fellow meandering ahead of us, playing a flute. Absolute magic.

    Yale scandere

    It has a tightly woven cover that makes it really nice for mechanical interface. Does not have great knotability or hand, which isn't as important since it's usually a stationary or access line. I like it. Just know I like a lot of ropes; I have a lot of ropes and I switch them up a lot.

    Double Handed Ascender in Comp.?

    If I'm understanding this correctly, the descent system tied into the double ascenders..I could see a stopper safety knot being required under the doubled ascenders if that then becomes the primary floating TIP. Or would this be the secondary and thus not such an issue?

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    Another thing to consider is to wreck it from the ground without felling. I don't know if you have that kind of situation, but sometimes one can remotely set XRR and remotely tie off the top, or a piece and use force to pull or pull apart. If the tree is so dead that it's a hazard to climb...

    New saddle time. What’s your rec climb choice.?

    Not a problem at all. Just something that is notable about the Light. The first time I used one of those, I knew it would bother me significantly.

    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    I have never been comfortable with the Yosemite on the bowline. I make a long tail and either used a splice or tied a biner on to clip around a basal anchor for my backup to the bowline.
