    Question about lock stitching on tenex

    thanks that's kind of what I figured. I'm debating whether I should try and take it out or not. Btw is there a trick to keeping the eye around the ring tight when milking the bury down? I tried holding by passing an awl through both sides just under the ring which helped but I'm wondering if...

    Question about lock stitching on tenex

    thanks for the ideas and responses. My question though is if what I used is sufficient for a proper "lock stitch" or why it will still work or not work

    Question about lock stitching on tenex

    Hey! So I just made my first rigging ring sling with 1/2 tenex. I'm curious if there are certain requirements of thread/ twine that needs to used for a proper lock stitch (like size, construction, etc...). I have waxed whipping twine that I use for doing whip locks but it looks a little too...

    Climber full-time opening at The Morton Arboretum

    I'm definitely loving all the oak trees out here. The kinds of trees I would have dreams about out west. But everybody out here seems to mainly stick to using lifts :/

    Climber full-time opening at The Morton Arboretum

    ya it def seemed that way when I talked to them. But they did however, say that everybody on the crew (or most atleast) climbs so everyone is kind of on the same level

    Climber full-time opening at The Morton Arboretum

    I was hoping it'd be 35-40 at minimum. My last job as a crew lead/ lead climber was paying me 36 with my class A CDL. I thought it wa a long shot since the position doesn't really say much about being a crew lead but it didn't hurt to apply.

    Climber full-time opening at The Morton Arboretum

    no I had a phone interview and decided it wasn't for me. I live an hour away so it was a long shot to begin with. I wanted to hear what the pay was to decide if it'd be worth the drive or not. Sounded like a great job, I just can't afford that pay with the commute at this time in my life.

    Climber full-time opening at The Morton Arboretum

    It's actually the opposite from what ive heard (I had a phone interview with them). They said it's waaay more lax than your normal production climber work and usually done by 3. I heard someone else say it was a great retirement job because of how chill it was.

    pay is much less than expected (atleast for me). 25+ if you're experienced and just into the 30s if your certified and top notch. ‍

    Flint locker retrieval

    a friction saver is something pretty common for most climbers to have (nothing really shiny or new at all really). The extra knots is def overkill imo but it's for an anchor so why knot? (lol) and when knot blocking for an anchor (especially life support) the biner is pretty standard for backup...

    Flint locker retrieval

    https://fb.watch/oiMyJ-9DKN/?mibextid=NnVzG8 Patrick Fitch posted a video a bit ago about a "soft" retrieval method for a friction saver (used srs). Pretty neat and smart imo

    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    https://arbsession.com/tufl-7350159.html they have the longer one here at arbsession. Btw careful using that pulley like that for a bridge anchor. I don't think it's meant for that. Can stress the cheek plates in ways they aren't meant to be stressed.
