    I almost forgot my 30-year anniversary. I'm having too much fun.

    Winchman, I'm pretty confident that everyone who reads this will admire your change, as well as the life your living. You might not have financial wealth...but you're rich beyond measure. Congratulations!

    Dialing in the lanyard....

    Thanks Stumpsprouts. Perhaps that’s what I was beginning to experience. Too much thought about gear, and not enough about the “flow lines” of the trees. I’m excited to get out there again. I have “climbing fever” pretty bad! Cheers.

    Dialing in the lanyard....

    Njdelaney, That would be a Bingo on all accounts! I’ll likely hang onto the ART, as I suspect there will be a time and place where climbing with a shorter lanyard will be just what the canopy “ordered”. In that case, I’ll have that Sterling Positioning Lanyard rig in my kit and ready to swap...

    Dialing in the lanyard....

    Thanks All, Leonelito...you're right in that the ART Positioner it's as simple as it gets. In fact, I think it's a great product. The way I have my lanyard setup is a 22' double ended. The leading system (front end) has been the ART Positioner and the ISC Snap. The trailing system was a Pinto...

    Dialing in the lanyard....

    Hello All, Great day of climbing yesterday. I had the chance to share some trees with a professional arborist who also climbs recreationally. I got some good tips along the way as we moved about in the canopy. One of the learnings was that perhaps I have too many options in my arsenal...which...

    New HitchHikerXF

    Good morning, Mike. Quite frankly, I don’t have complaints about any of the devices I’ve owned. As an example, I think the Petzl Zig Zag has been the smoothest. Quite silky actually. However, not being mid-line attachable presented challenges from time to time. If Petzl can figure that out...

    Question about an ART 2 Positioner...

    “There is also that occasional time in the tree that positioning is awkward and it is easier to unhook the left side instead of the right to throw around a branch.” ATH, I totally agree. There are definitely occasions when I’m thinking, how the heck did I get tangled as such…*#{*#*%+%+%. I’m...

    Question about an ART 2 Positioner...

    Hello All, I use an ART 2 swivel positioner on my lanyard. Normally, I have it attached to my lower Ds with a carabiner. It occurred to me today that I could simply omit the carabiner, and connect directly to my lower D (I use a Petzl Sequoia saddle). Other than losing the versatility of...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    I'll be the first to say that I'm no expert. I like all of it. I like the fluency of having options, and choosing which one to deploy when. Sometimes, the "single end" of the lanyard is all I need. This end of the lanyard is controlled with an ART positioner. It has a superb and immediate bite...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    Hello Again, I was cruising around the inter-web, getting educated on different approaches and techniques. I came across this presentation by Taylor Hamel on the CELaynard. I thought it would go well with this conversation string. So many options!

    New HitchHikerXF

    Good evening. I am pleased to report that I took the HitchHikerXF for its maiden voyage this afternoon. I'm also pleased to report that it performed as promised. I have had the opportunity to enjoy the Petzl Zig Zag, the Rope Wrench, the Akimbo, Rope Runner Pro. The HitchHikerXF was fluid...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    Hello, I copied Craig Bachman's setup found in this video at 20:36. Super versatile! By the way...the entire video is most excellent.

    New HitchHikerXF

    Hello All (and Richard), My HitchHikerXF arrived today. What a hip piece of gear. I've only had the chance to connect to a rope in the garage and hang...but it looks like the perfect balance of traditional confidence makers like a rope hitch, with the modern day technology of the Dog...

    Care to trade a DMM Hitch Climber Pulley for a Petzl Rollclip Z?

    Hello, I accidentally purchased an extra DMM Hitch Climber Pulley. It is brand new, with the label still attached. The last thing I need is another pulley hanging around that I don't use. I'm interested in trading straight across for a Petzl Rollclip Z that is also brand new. Anyone...

    Is there a particular length that you find most versatile?

    Steve, I just posted about wildlife viewing...which led me to your pic with a bird of prey. Is that a wild bird that you encountered...or some other story? Either way, pretty cool.

    Wildlife viewing from the canopy....

    Hello All, This weekend I had a good view of a wild turkey moving about below. I was wondering if others have cool sighting you'd be willing to share. Thanks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BPdrrpRB8odg6bzaU2b9fuKEXNbGy3TQ/view?usp=sharing
