    Monkey Beaver harness

    The two sets of Ds are for chainsaw options, from what I understand, part of August's input in design. I didn't get to climb in this over the weekend, but it was shared, so hopefully we can get more feedback soon.

    Best saddle for Women

    The WCTW weekend was simply fabulous; big thanks to all who contributed to the many successes. The NT harnesses made the rounds, so I know several people got to try each one. I did not have a chance for either, but I can put those in touch with you. Ive been climbing in the ONYX this week a...

    Is this enough?

    Looks about right to me. Except that blower on its side possibly leaking fuel is making me twitch.

    @Frax depending on where you are in wait list you may get in. The scholarships may free up a spot and usually at least one person has to cancel. Fingers crossed for you.

    Hey monkey love, that would be killer. I'll pm you an address. Me thinks you might get someone to snap it up at the WTCW.

    Also, I am looking forward to meeting you Nora. I guess I missed you at Mark Prezkurats place by a whisker last spring.

    The wtcw is in a few weeks. I should be able to revisit the Onyx if Melissa lets me fly hers again. Nora, I believe we have a couple TM to test fly, and Mr Greg Good donated a Tree Austria this year. participants would definitely benefit if we can get a few more newer harnesses donated. So pumped!

    Aerial Rescue Kit Bag

    The thought is to have it in a dedicated bag, different color and hi vis, and a brightly colored line that is a different dedicated color from all crew lines, and to have it out of the truck for every job requiring climbing. I was thinking a long lanyard with a steel biner would be appropriate...

    Aerial Rescue Kit Bag

    Our office is working on putting together and carrying one bag with potential rescue gear in one place. Goal is for this kit bag to be at the ready for all climbing jobs. We're going on the assumption everyone on site will have their own harness, so it won't have a harness, but will have a set...

    How to assess worn Rope?

    Hey Z, that Tropical Ivy rope hits the "cut me now" threshold. Although sadness because it's near the spliced end, it'll be a good lanyard.

    How to assess worn Rope?

    To me, this is not a worn rope. This is a fairly new rope that had an encounter with a handsaw, pole saw, chainsaw, etc. Hopefully, you know the history of the nick and can remedy. Your question is really, how serious, right? Know your line. Cougar is 24 strand double braid, load is shared...

    Best fitting climbing pants for women

    I wear Arborwear's pants cut for men not a problem. Ascenders. I also have a pair of Mountain Hardware pants and a pair of Marmot stretchy type, gusset crotched "approach" pants for women, normal women's sizing, and those are good for climbing too.

    Best saddle for Women

    Even a size small in some harnesses just won't sit right on me. The best harness I've found is the TM. ErgoLite rides too high into my ribs even a small. I tried the Onyx and believe with more time and adjustment that harness would be sweet. I can climb in the Sequoia, but only if I don't...

    TV show.

    My first thought is that if he really wants to experience Arboriculture, he should be doing long term structural pruning on a young shade tree...handsaws and thinking caps! But if it's got to be a removal, that's cool. Don't let them make you look bad, though. Two days is what, 10 minutes of...
