    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Just retired the hedera kernmaster - found some pretty bad cover damage. Bought a 150' of orange KMiii Max (11mm). It's a beautiful rope, knotability is great, good hand for an 11mm rope, and it's got juuuuuust the right amount of stretch. Only problem is: the BRB is slipping (badly) on it. I...

    I haven't paid attention to the bollard during descent so I cannot provide a yes or no regarding the spinning. I would venture to say it is supposed to spin @surveyor could answer this probs Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Freddie, It's normal to see a little "fluff" (tiny 1-2mm bits of rope fiber) on the BDB after descent, especially long descents. This is something that typically happens to 24 strand ropes after they've been run through either a rope wrench, BDB, or any device that puts a bend or kink in the...

    DMM throw hook.

    Captain hook aka "Hooker McHook Face" has changed the game dudes. Been using it for about 9 months now, and I find that 7 out of 10 climbs I'm bringing it with me and using it. Here's just a few of the uses for the captain hook. I plan on making another video covering "Supplemental work...

    Little tricks

    @Magnum783 Moving your lanyard adjuster and termination to your hips helps move your center of gravity upward, and allow your to leverage yourself against the stem with your legs better. On your forward D's, your center of gravity is lower, kind of in the mid-hip area, and when you're on a...

    Little tricks

    When working on spikes on smaller diameter stems/wood, configure your lanyard in a cinching configuration to prevent sliding down the stem if you gaff out. This can be achieved by simply wrapping your lanyard once around the stem and back to your D-ring, or if you have a thimble prusik...

    Looking for a knee ascender

    @Raven27 Would you like to try my HAAS? I have a regular size, original HAAS that is about 7-8 months old. Has been working great. I've never used a SAKA, but I've heard some incredible reviews. Maybe a test run on the HAAS and a test run on the SAKA would help making a purchase decision?

    @CutHighnLetFly found the key ring mod picture from your post on pg. 153 (thank you for knowing what page it was on instead of sending me on a wild goose chase lol ) Dude thats unfortunate about the S-clip and key ring. The key ring's ability to come on/off to experiment bollard sizes is a...

    Just an update on the DMM Focus swivel mod. The swivel interferes with the pivoting action at the spine. During ascent, the spine is not able to 'open up', and friction is created at lower arm friction Pin and spine. In a similar vein, slack tending also suffers due to the lack of the spine...

    @CutHighnLetFly can you post a picture of this keychain ring mod? Also, where did you get the keychain ring from? Is it rated?

    You're the man Gordon. Thank you. I've had the device for nearly a year now, and it's my favorite climbing tool I own, if not, my second favorite to the DMM captain. Next upgrade is definitely the adjustable bollard. And the chainsaw attachment. Maybe a louder exhaust, some chrome rims...

    @surveyor what would you recommend to clean the BDB with? I've got this kind of greasy, dirty gunk at various points (chainlink area on the spine and top arm specifically). Ok now everyone get your "washing my boner" jokes outta the way now. Go ahead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No way dude! Haha. I crank up the fireplace and let it burrrrnnnnn. Socks are constrictive. Good move on your part getting outta this frozen hellscape full of awful drivers and constantly numb fingers. You escaped! haha.

    So, I replaced the stock teardrop attachment point with the DMM Focus swivel. It fits well, however there was some play in the "eye" of the green attachment point around the pin in the lower arm/attachment pin. I remedied this with a small section of latex rubber tubing - I placed it inside...

    Foot ascender and half-hitch (Moss method??)

    This is so cool. I'm gonna show this to the new climbers at work; they're all ascending DDRT on just a foot Ascender, and they complain how exhausting that method can be. Maybe this will help! Thanks for sharing this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I got one of these in college. They do suck. The second time i got one I had it completely surgically removed. It's literally a pain in the ass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
