Will do zaphod. I will most likely being putting on another rec. climb this year somewhere in central jersey. Not sure if I will use the same location or what but will keep the game in mind when picking out the site.
My merrills where quite similiar to what you explained familiy tree. I loved climbing in them being they were so light and comfortable but I ran through them in under 3 months.
I understand where you are coming from jersey girl. Just figured I would through it out there just incase. But...
Just was wondering if anyone gets together and plays around up there? I have been trying to get some tag going on but I am never able to get enough people together. And if so, we usually cannot just because of the different level of skill. Don't won't the new guy being it all the time.
I figure...
Boots with ankle support are required. So I have never used anything like them before. My merrills and scarpas have worked well though they don't last very long.
Eric please correct me if I am wrong but you are in aust. not US. Though you may think you know everything you may have no idea how thing work in the US so that foot must taste good.
Yes WC is supposed to pick up the tab but did you know that you might have to put out thousands of dollars first...
Just received mine yesterday from treeworker. Pruned 12 trees today with it and was very pleased. I had it only catch once on the krab one the first tree but after that everything was good. I really like how it tends and how the pulley stays in a fixed position. Though I was using it with a...
Well the Treemotion has been great to me so far.
But for lower back pain, do you attach your saw on your hip? After getting the motion I used a rear attachment and all the lower back pain I use to have has not acted up as of yet. It's worth a try.
I just sub for one man shows at the time. There are a lot of them about and it works for both of us. They cannot find good help and they usually don't have enough work to keep them busy full time so that is where I come in. I was doing it for 30-40 moonlighting but none being legit it is 40-50...
Was just another day of pruning at this large job I have been at all week. I was using a throwball, thrown with one hand, to get out a hanger. On about the 3rd try I had whipped it up but a loop had formed and caught my handsaw that was on my leg. It tossed the handsaw up into my arm and then...

By the way: did any of you guys get that "free" eye/eye tail that they claimed they would ship w/ the saddle? I did not see mine in the box

So it could be written into ANSI that where a climber decides to cut into (notch) a piece of timber that he is supported from (high point)that it may only be done so within eye contact of an observer whose sole task is to ensure the climber retrieves...
You can get the pulley that is on the rope guide for $72. It is pretty much the same pulley. If you are interested let me know and I can put you in touch with the guy that sells them.
Yeah, sherrill was where I was getting the info from. Seemed weird that they would be the only ascenders that didn't do the 8-13 mm. Thanks for clearing it up.

Was the reason I bought it. I am a...
Was looking at both the snake bite and the KMIII being I am in need of a longer access line. I noticed though that the kong dual ascender is only ment for 11-13 mm ropes. Would you be able to sneak by with the 10 both in work and comps? Or am I gonna have to add another back up to the ascender...
