    Rigging Ropes and Slings, CMI Block

    Cleaning out equipment I don't use any more. 160' Yale 13mm Polydyne: $90. Has a nick (shown) 9 feet from end. Used a few times, never overloaded. 94' Samson Static 1/2": $60. Came in a TreeStuff Bag O' Rope. Used for a 5 to 1 that was only ever pulled by hand, so never experienced heavy...

    This came neatly off a dead American Beech during removal. And my profile pic is from a green ash.

    Blue 32!

    What's up with the 5,000 lb breaking strength? Isn't 5,400 the Z133 minimum? Or have things changed in the last few years?

    When You Don't Have the Right Gear...

    I took a friend rec climbing the other week and somehow left my Rope Runner at home. I was going to use the runner and have her on a hitch climber/wrench. Ended up putting her on a hitch climber DRT while I managed to use a wire gate carabiner to attach my wrench tether (Caralink-type) to the...

    Is This How TreeStuff Ships Life Support Hardware?

    I just received a replacement Rope Runner friction body from TreeStuff, and am very concerned about the packaging, and therefore concerned about the safety of the friction body. The friction body was in a ziplock bag in a thickened (not sure I'd consider this padded) envelope, and that's it. The...

    Tree deals (ones that warm your heart)

    I was once pruning some Bradford pears outside of an apartment building. While I was packing up, the couple whose apartment I was climbing outside of sent their 5(?) year old daughter to give me a vanilla or cherry vanilla coke. I don't like carbonated drinks, but it was so heartwarming that I...

    Lots of extra gear--DMM, Rock Exotica, Petzl, New Tribe Basic, Silky Long Boy

    Going through my miscellaneous gear box and realized I probably wasn't going to get much use out of these. Most of this is very lightly used, if at all. It's basically stuff I thought I'd use that I wasn't able to incorporate int my setup. (Edited to only show what's still available) DMM...

    Minimalist rope walking setups?

    Yep, that's what the tether attachment is. The whole point was to have something lighter than a pulley. It has an aluminum core, and the "side plates" are made of leather flared and stiffened with cyanoacrylate. A thermoplastic like kydex would probably work better, though. The mini carabiner at...

    Yeah, that's why it isn't anodized. Thank you!

    Minimalist rope walking setups?

    8mm Atwood Grand. Never used an actual wrench, so I can't compare, but so far it seems to work quite well. I just scaled down Kevin's wrench to work on 8-9mm ropes. If I remember correctly from my CAD files, it weighs about a quarter to a third as much as the 11-13mm wrench. The blue rope in the...

    Boot recommendation

    I loved my Chippewa loggers that I found at a thrift store, but they eventually gave up the ghost. The leather on them was amazing, especially when treated with Obenauf's LP. For climbing, though, I've found that I really like pointed toe cowboy boots, since they allow me to get toe holds in...
