    Where do you start training a new climber?

    Utility “boot camp” teaches Blake’s hitch and closed system then progress’s to basic open system (prussic and pulley), they like to teach the Blake’s still as a I have absolutely nothing else with me but I can make it to the ground. It’s nice because they do have to climb on the closed system so...

    Choking carabiner

    I actually keep the ends off old dulled out files for slick pins or knots that cinched way way too tight

    Choking carabiner

    Was also going to recommend the quickie especially the newer CE version pretty much no down sides and easier to see pin orientation if running it up from the ground.

    Best 32 strand: blue 32, hyperstatic, squir etc

    As a dedicated ascent line blue32 is pretty solid it’s just miserable to climb gloveless MRS, I haven’t heard a complaint at all from the guys running squir around me

    New CMI Pulley

    Splices on all lines, no hand tied terminations, canopy anchor must be a basic ring jam, base anchors are essentially two half hitches with a ring jam as well, try and stupid proof a company and eventually you just make the work harder than it needs to be.

    New CMI Pulley

    I would have picked up the RNA however my current company is a Knotless company for life support so that’s my only reason for not.

    Yes it’s been discontinued. Maybe CMI can make a killer version of it in a year or so

    New RopeRunner?!?

    I really wanted to love the RRP, in fact I tried twice, however I’ve been running a bollard vertec for a couple months now and I’m actually going to keep it. The main difference for me is how much more consistent and fluid the bird operates, I always struggled to feather the RRP for fine...

    New RopeRunner?!?

    So the friction body is a running update, it was a change to the lower attachment point to “fix” the carabiner lock some were experiencing, as far as the new pulley body “upgrade” yeah I’m disappointed it’s a $170 option instead of a running update, also it’s not much more expensive than the...

    I have concerns over how quick those friction keys will wear, I know the unicender would chew through the keys

    New device from ISC

    I think you’re right, that’s been radio silent but I was hoping that was going to be notch’s surprise for TCIA.

    Sold

    I’ve ran this saddle on and off since April, just haven’t clicked with it. All of the adjustment straps have never been cut or adjusted the long adjustable bridges have a knot and a lock stitch (company policy) couple picks on the leg strap but nothing concerning and really like new. I also have...
