    Ongoing self doubt/fear

    I very rarely get sketched out, and if I do then I’m probably doing something I shouldn’t be. I would think hard about how much you want to be in this profession- I don’t think it’s mentally or physically healthy to be anxious or scared like that 5 days a week for the rest of your working life...

    Climbing gloves?

    I just started using the Pfanner gloves. I like them a lot for climbing, good grip for pulling rope and good dexterity. They probably wear somewhat quick so I only use them climbing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Treemotion Evo or Treemotion Pro?

    That’s interesting, I’d like to see a break test for their life support carabiners. I’d actually like to see a break test for all my climbing gear… it’s kind of surprising how few break test videos there are. At least I can’t find many. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Treemotion Evo or Treemotion Pro?

    I can’t find any info on this. Can you send a link? DMM is one of my favorite companies, if they’re making a high end saddle I’ll definitely wait for it! But doesn’t the treemotion pro already have DMM hardware? Like the rings? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Treemotion Evo or Treemotion Pro?

    Anyone have experience with the Evo and the newer Treemotion Pro? I’m retiring my Sequoia pretty soon and although I absolutely love the climbing in it, I want to try something new. Which one do you think is better? Any other saddles I should consider? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Subcontracting Advice

    It’s defo not legal to make an employee pay for on job damages, but it is legal to fire an employee for pretty much any reason you want. I am probably going to call them though bc on my last paystub he changed my rate to $35/hr. He’s a 40 year old child. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Subcontracting Advice

    Rope snapped. It’s my boss’ fault for having us use a rigging rope that was previously compromised, my fault for trusting his crappy equipment, and the riggers fault for locking off the portawrap. It was not a crazy rig either, just really flukey. My boss wanted me to pay for the damage, I said...

    Good question, I broke someone’s deck and my boss fired me. Shit out of luck and shit out of work. Maybe time to send it back to the mainland Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Subcontracting Advice

    I’m looking for some advice & tips on being a subcontractor climber. So far I made an LLC and I’m about to get liability insurance. How much should I be insured for? Do I need any other qualifications to be legit? What should I charge my employer per hour, considering I made $45/hour on the...

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    so far so awesome. I’ve got it on the km III max and it’s butter. I’m about 165, and for it to work on the xstatic I had to have the friction settings all the way down, and even then it was a little too much friction. On the km III, the setting E5 worked perfect for me. I agree with whoever said...

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    I wonder if it’s bc they were new ropes? weird how it’s seems like different people have way different experiences. i’ve got my fingers crossed- it should get here next week so i’ll see what happens and share the results Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for the ideal rope.

    this thread makes me mad lmao. you’re way overthinking it and at the same time not thinking at all. I agree with whoever said “it sounds like you need better mentors”, and I get it, I started my career in northern new hampshire and i’ve worked for a lot of hacks who don’t have a clue about tree...

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    interesting, I wonder why some users find it to be so finicky. xstatic is probably my favorite rope of all time. have you tried it with the km iii? was it not catching? rock exotica says it’s not to be used with ropes less than 11.5mm, and the km iii is like 11.1mm Sent from my iPhone using...

    KM iii max with Akimbo

    anyone know if the 7/16 KM iii max will work with the akimbo? I ordered an akimbo to replace my rope runner pro, & I just looked on rock exoticas website and it’s not one of the approved ropes. I’m hoping it’s not to skinny. I don’t want to spend another 2 hundo on a rope just to fit my new...

    In search of trees for recreational climbing...and other ponderings and questions.

    Check out Atlas Tree Service in Santa Rosa. They have climbing classes for all levels of climbers- the first half of the day goes over technique and the second half is free climbing. The instructors are some of the best around and they’re really helpful especially if you’re a beginner. They also...
