    Sequoia 1.1 Ideas

    I like to switch my legloops as well, stepping into the harness is way more comfortable, and the padding of a lot of legloops even fits me better then! The legloops of the Sequoia are crap IMO, try to get other ones. I think they are the biggest "con" of the harness, but with other ones its...

    Your Preferred Carabiners?

    The ORCAs have the gate to be activated in the opposite direction as the other RE gates (push 6 twist instead of pull & twist). Just to let the people know who dont already, so they dont get dissapointed when the get one.

    Sequoia 1.1 Ideas

    I dont really like the upper part of the mod, but I love the idea to put the rings where you did, thanks! Your swivel will abrade much faster with the RIT bridge btw. ...

    DRT

    For me DdRT is really not a good term, it doesnt even include the meaning that the rope is in movement. You can also double a line and climb on it without the rope moving. All the terms work just because of the definition given to them by the users. Wasnt SRT in Tree Climbing just used for an...

    DRT

    Haha, exact wording is what this is all about, or the lack of it respectively... :D

    DRT

    A rope it is for sure, but a lanyard tie in is not always (or maybe even rarely) a load bearing anchor. You already wrote somewhere else about a lanyard and an SRT system qualifying for a DRT system, I disagree here. A true DRT system is something completely different as you know now after your...

    Tandem Hitch, sDdRT

    Yes, the French use this technique for a long time. They usually combine it with an adjustable bridge to have a full reach below the hitch for footlocking up. I always thought of using the ISC Arborist redirect pulley as a slack tender...

    acronyms

    I like Kevins new terms, I always wondered about "DdRT". Seems misleading for me, but English is not my mother tongue. Btw., I would avoid bringing "static" and "dynamic" into the game, as this can be misleading as well (static & dynamic ropes), or at least its not totally unambiguous. And I...

    DRT

    I do rope access work as well but its really the minor part of my work. I tried DRT as well in the tree, and there are situations where its possible indeed but I didnt find it to practical. Maybe Kevin gets along with it so well because he is so used to sSRT (which I am not) that the transition...

    DRT

    Haha, the trailblazer of SRT (or how would you call it now to define it Kevin, as you use SRT for Ddrt? sSRT?) preaches DRT now, very interesting! I am really looking forward to where this one goes... Great discussion btw., thanks to all!

    4th generation slingshot tubing connectors...

    Cool, would be great if you could post more infos here if you get them, so everyone can find it in the future (and now ;). And are there ideas to change how the pouch (?) is attached to the rubber? This weak point was the original reason for this topic...

    4th generation slingshot tubing connectors...

    Hi ReLeaf, and thanks! Sounds like you're somehow involved in the BS development?! What do you say about the loss of shooting power with the new head, dont you get this feedback from other users as well? I personally have used 2 BS with the new head with which it is way more difficult to reach...

    4th generation slingshot tubing connectors...

    Hey Guys! Maybe everyone knows why the BS head changed its shape some years ago (where the "horns" got shorter). Unfortunately I do not have a clue, and most of the users I know do like the old head more. They say it is better in both, power and accuracy. I still have an old one and have no...

    Ascent Event from 2015 on?

    Thanks so far. I refer to an Email S.Garth sent out to our Chapter on March 13. Next question: Where can I get the Rules & Regs for the Ascent Event, as well as the score sheets?

    Proposed 2014 ITCC rule book

    An Inline Anchor is set directly on an Ascent Line. Lots of guys (at least here in EU) Anchor their climbing line to the Footlock Strop when they ascend at the Rescue Event. A secret weapon would be another option. Just beware that the ascent line isnt usable from the ground anymore, something...

    Most static 16-strand?

    Ahh, the miracle of Board communication! I assume that none of you knows a static 16-strand, right? I love Vortex for my everyday climbing, and Rocket line with my ZigZag, but I also liked 16ers. I'd really like to climb on one again if there was one really static. Is that ok for you guys? :)...

    Most static 16-strand?

    Hey Guys! I post my question here as stretch may be more of a topic for Single Line Climbers: What is the most static 16-strand climbing line out there? Is there something comparable to Samson Vortex?
