Works really well with 9mm epicord with the catalyon hitch, I’ll snag a picture of the splice from Yale tomorrow. Haven’t ran any mechanicals on it but have heard good things about the rope runner pro running well. Mostly MRS use so far from me, a couple of ascents but not enough to give an opinion.
Finishing the clean out of stuff I just don’t use or didn’t work out how I wanted.
CT Cric- used twice for the woo factor on some rec climbs and then bagged, it’s a neat little device I just have a minimal gear approach for most of my pruning. $65 shipped
Shembiner XLS- I’ve loved the OG...
I’ve had the full reach and couldn’t stand the coils getting snagged by everything, I’ve ran the notch “cinch” lanyard since its release and I’ve appreciated its low profile but it’s just a saw lanyard not earth shattering but does give my 36” reach full reach. Am starting to look into break...
I’ve had a few different gear bags over the last few years, curious what other climbers are running? I’ve ran the Arbsession gear tote for the last year and a half and it’s still hanging in there. Before that I ran a north face duffel which I actually thoroughly enjoyed using just disliked...
Selling a like new Monkeybeaver 2.0 size medium, it’s in the black multi-cam pattern with the “splatter” pattern suspenders. I’ve tried and tried to get this saddle to jive with me as it is super comfy and wonderful for spar work but can’t get it to run right for my climbing style for whatever...
with my lanyard on my lower D’s, it’s overall less “stable”, more dependent on how my hips are facing, if not totally squared up I’ll spin around on the spar either direction, with the lanyard on the hips it’s significantly more “stable” and complements the rope bridge like they’re actually...
I guess I’m looking to see if I’m crazy or not but does anyone else find the lower rig plates useless as a lanyard connection point? On my Treemotion’s I ran my lanyard full time on the lower D’s, and I’ve switched over to the upper hip D’s but still not quite what I was getting stability wise...
I may be an odd ball but I couldn’t run the leg straps loose, I never could on the Treemotion either, I fought setting up the MB2.0 for almost 2 weeks I tried everything and finally just measured the leg strap distance, the hip d to forward d/ bridge distance on my Treemotion and set the MB up...
First up I’ve got an 18ft and couple inch’s Zillon with Teufelberger charity line installed with splices sewn by @height. I’ve tried and tried to get along with the Zillon and it’s super smooth I can’t deny that but I cant get off my current lanyard setup. No glazing, no nicks, no cuts, a couple...
so they moved where the leg pads attach on the MB2.0 so now there’s a tool slot directly behind the hip D’s. Coming from a Treemotion I couldn’t stand how sloppy the standard shembiner was so I went with the shembiner XLS (https://www.wesspur.com/cmi-shembiner-xls) for my dominant saw side.
I’ve noticed several suppliers stopped listing the actual MBS for ropes and just put up the 5k or 5.4k listing, not sure why I’ve even seen it on vortex which has around 8000 rating.
Lightly used rope runner pro with magneato installed, carabiner not included. I liked the device for straight ascents on easy prunes but I’m just a wrench guy. $200 shipped within the U.S. PayPal preferred. I do have the original tending tab if the magneato is not your thing and will be included...
