    Casino Royale

    Sean Connery was believable as a tough guy, even if he had to say stupid one liners. Roger Moore? Nah.

    Need Your Help Please.

    I do not know Sam Robinson personally but I have seen him climb at a competion. He is one of those small wirey strong guys. He makes treeclimbing look graceful.

    another notched spar descent accident

    Ok, you win. Carry on using your tag/pull line for rappelling. Its no wonder the Industrial Rope Access Industry looks at the current practices in Arboriculture and worries that we could be so ignorant of proper rope use. I for one have never used a Tag/Pull line for rappelling from a spar in...

    [ QUOTE ] Not where this belongs! [/ QUOTE ] Wherever there is space to discredit MasterBlaster I will do it. The guy has an extremely negative view on issues of health and safety in our industry.
