    Pruning a Codominant Leader

    I have an almost 3 year old magnolia I planted in my front yard in Northern MS. It has a codominant leader and I'm wondering what the best way to prune this tree would be. My goal would be for long term stability so my grandkids can have a good climbing tree in 20 years. Thanks for the help!

    This is the Akimbo

    Sorry if this has already been covered. I'm having trouble with the akimbo slipping down the rope when using a rope walking system. It slips if I try to squat straight down but if I lean back it usually catches. It does this even on friction settings too tight for the rope (Sterling htp 12.5)...

    Ocean Vectran 6mm

    Any updates on 6mm vectran? I just ordered some from Omb warehouse since they said they had it in stock. They just emailed me and said it was extensively backordered or no longer available. So I'd like to find a source for it or a similar replacement. Any ideas?

    Show off them splices

    My friction saver is 48 inches with a 12 inch crossover in the middle. I tapered following Nick's advice on the tree-u splicing Video. I removed 2 strands every 5 until I had 6 left. Then after the crossover I removed one of the 6 every inch for the final taper. It came out fairly uniform from...

    Very nice Davey. I just recently put together a very similar friction saver as well as some other stuff.

    Thanks for the picture @Brocky . Is that a class 1 double braid on the left ? How did you create the middle one?

    Thanks @ARLO for the beeline splicing videos. I have a couple of questions for you guys. Does 8mm beeline use the same recipe as the 10mm? Also what do you folks use to protect the core? Maxijacket? Starbrite? Thanks

    ISC Rocker

    That really does sound great. I talked with him a bit and sounds like they are climbing all week and having a seminar this weekend. I really wish I could make it but I'm going to have to plan for another time. I will be keeping a look out for an event I can come watch or get in on. Thanks...

    ISC Rocker

    Thanks so much for the help with this everyone. I'm a rec climber and I am learning a ton with every climb. And thanks to this site and videos that its users have posted I have had the confidence to actually get in a tree and feel safe so far. I read here on the forum "low and slow" several...

    ISC Rocker

    Hi guys and gals. I'm a noob climber and I'm trying hard not to kill myself while I'm still getting the hang of it. So I got the ISC Rocker from treestuff. I'm using it as a fall arrest device for redundancy on a separate line in case I do something foolish. What do you guys think about the...
