    New device from ISC

    the unicender def takes some getting used to, it is a different paradigm sorta. finding that smooth srt descend grip takes time.

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    one thing to mention about the cbdb, is you should keep it clean and loose. I think odorless mineral spirits is the best with an old toothbrush. If the upper chip plate thing gets stuck with debris, the whole device gets terrible. just keep it clean obviously like any.

    Reflex vs. Blackbird

    I have the "compact bulldog bone" specifically. it is not adjustable. It is truly ole reliable. It is a workhorse. It's a diesel engine. It will work every time the other device does not. It gets used daily m-f for the past 5+ years and no difference in function, at all. there is some wear...

    use tail to setup secondary system

    was reminded indirectly that I had forgotten a nice technique for self tending ddrt with nothing more than an inline clove hitch. I just always chose srt vs hip thrusting ascents. (ffwd to 6:20) but it got me wondering why I am not using my tail as a secondary climbing system? Does anyone do...
