    climbing pet peeves

    Just thought it would be fun to throw out a few things that bug you, not trying to hate on any one. In no particular order carrying a knife while climbing, especially something in a sheath handsaw leg scabbards face shields on helmets, especially if you are also wearing glasses anything less...

    Has anyone ever had an emergency situation in a tree where they had to use a Knife in the tree? Something that a hand saw could not cut?

    Little too big of a pick

    I always find myself swinging between, I hope he is ok, and what the fuck was he thinking! It looks like he might have notched the piece and basically dropped it into the rigging?

    Are We Shooting Ourselves in the Foot?

    I'm with you. Remember if u are in this game for the long run you have to work smarter. Because you have to do it all over again the next day, week, year etc... I'm 34 and started climbing when I was 18, I expend much less effort and get more done theses days. Equipment and proper planning also...

    Canopy anchors v Climbing skills

    Really. It's not as effective in a small thick tree. I believe in using many different techniques. If it works for u, great. What ever works best for ur style is what u should use. But don't be afraid to use different techniques for different jobs. Why do some people think u have to pick sides...

    Canopy anchors v Climbing skills

    For sure. keeping ur arms straight allows you to rest by hanging from ur joints instead of engaging the muscles in the arm when it is flexed. I think learning how to rope advance first teaches you a lot about how to move through a tree. It lets you check out the structure of the tree on the way...

    To Run or not to run or that is the question?

    Yo ben, tell this dude you will gladly come out and lock off all of the pieces while he riggs. ;)

    quick and simple anchor

    Prob also worth mentioning that tree rope and rock/cave/rescue rope are very different and some knots work better on different types of rope.

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    Seems like it broke at a previously weakened point in the rope. I think the take away is that when rigging pieces of that size you need to be on a larger rope. I have a 14mm Sirius that is rated for 11,700(w/o splice). So basically 2mm larger buys you 3,000 ish in safety factor. Having a...

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    You are all good man. No reason to doubt all ur skills. Just keep the wrench off the big shit and watch for the glazed lines. If you aren't confident in ur ground guys just adjust ur rigging. I rig one way with guys I trust and another with guys I don't. Each can be done safely. Just set ur mind...

    got my ass whupped

    Why? 2300 is way to much for true blue, it's not a rigging line no matter how much u like it. I get ur Trying to make a point. I think it's dangerous to keep using light duty shit for heavy duty rigging. I use true blue also, but sure as shit not for everything. Not trying to get after you
