    The slick coating on throwline.

    I personally think dynaglide gets even better with age. I use a 12oz ball on my throwing end & 16oz on the other for isolating, & I rarely have problems with it not running Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    You feel the weight in your belly less than the weight hanging off your saddle and feet. With that said, obviously lighter is better- for both gear and body weight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    And as for the spikes, I’m using geckos and I only noticed the pain recently. They’re adjusted correctly so I’m not sure what really caused the discomfort. I’m going to keep an eye on it and try to avoid locking out my legs as much. It would probably help to have some cushier pads Sent from...

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    I feel that! I’m from northern New Hampshire so I’ve dealt with some pretty cold winters. I’m moving to Hawaii at the end of this month, & I don’t think I’ll miss the snow haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    Good shit, I’ve never taken supplements but sounds like I’ll give it a try. I hate wearing gloves but I think if I find a good pair I like I could get used to it. Sometimes I’ll cut the tips off of the first two fingers + thumb for dexterity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    I wish I could have made it out there to the convention! Those are some good points, I think my diet could definitely be improved, I’m trying to cut out sugar as much as a can. Learning single rope was definitely a game changer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preventing Long Term Injuries Climbing

    I’m 22 years old and although I haven’t had any injuries as a climber yet, I get really paranoid about what I could be doing to my body- and how I could be taking measures to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. Mainly I’m worried about 4 things: my knees, shoulders, back, and hands. My knees...

    Traveling Abroad as a Climber

    I worked for Atlas Tree Service in Santa Rosa & they do pretty much everything- residential, heavy com, fires, power lines, etc. They also have pretty cool weekend classes like precision felling, climber academy, ariel rescue, pruning, etc. badass company Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Traveling Abroad as a Climber

    I moved to Northern California from New Hampshire for a year and I think it was the best thing I did for my climbing career. Find a reputable company and surround yourself with climbers better than you and you’ll learn a lot. If you want to live alone it’ll get expensive, I’d recommend renting...

    What am I doing wrong? ART Positioner

    I’ve been using the positioner 2 w/ swivel for about 4 months and it works really well for me. I tried it on a couple different ropes and the Yale safari 11.7 was the only one that worked perfect- I’ve never had any unwanted slip, even if I load it slowly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rope Runner Pro attachment point

    That’s my one gripe about it. I don’t even know if it was meant to be a bridge attachment. Room for improvement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rope Runner Pro attachment point

    The slic pin for the quickie won’t fit in the rope runner. And even if it could it would be really hard to pop the pin out when you need to take it on/off of the rope. I use the Omniblock swivabiner and it keeps everything nice and short. It’s just about as compact as you can get while still...

    mapping movement within a tree

    This[emoji115][emoji115] & if you are climbing srt you can do kind of the same thing, but you’ll get 2 climb lines out of 1 extra rope. Setting the second rope on your initial TIP, you throw each leg wherever you plan on climbing, that way you have a total of 3 climb lines all around the tree...

    Tips on climbing srs with spikes

    I understand you can put spikes on up in the tree, my question was for ascending the rope with spurs already on. Sorry if it was a dumb question I haven’t been on srs for that long. Shank mounted footie sounds like a good idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tips on climbing srs with spikes

    I agree I find it’s almost always faster to spike up the tree than spend time setting my line from the ground. Sounds like a spur mounted ascender would be a good investment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
