FYI:
A hunter told me that the bow arm could shatter if the arrow is to heavy. I googled it and couldn't find anything but still set up this contraption for test fireing the 3\8 in dia solid steel rod, the heaviest of all the arrows I've shared in the post. Forewarned is forearmed!!!
Used my Wraptor gas powered rope ascender to drag me (170lbs.) and a +/- 40 pound dog (in backpack on my chest) 200 feet out of a +/- 30 degree ice, snow, slash, and scree covered granite slope. Man that thing just cranked me out of that hole; slow, steady and deliberate. Point here is that...
Uli Distel, designer of the Gecko climbing spikes, brought this rig with him when he and Bettis came from Germany to visit when I was working with Sherrill's. The big shot hadn't been thought of yet (I think it was 3 years later and that's a whole other story) and I needed something for a...
Just putten this out there to think about. Not gonna say anything more about it for right now, you figure it out. Tryed to brain storm this with Dicky boner but he laughed at me. Doesn't like Pittsburgers, like me. His wife makes him live there; must be a Browns fan. (Glen, you're such a good...

With all that said, I think all you people commenting about my personality disorders are wasting everyone's time. None of you realize how monumental this can be to your climbing style. You've probably never seen it done like this before. This is like the first time I put a Gibbs cam on my...
Thus the if you don't want me to mess with your sphere...
I can relax with the right people and I think he might be one of them.
You people are so predictable that I'm answering and owning everything before you write it and then you go and write it anyway.
How many people leave their saw...
Man, those pictures just make me want to jump a ship aND join you. I'll make you a deal. I'm the "deal" maker. I'll come over there and work for food, beer and smoke and, if I prove myself worthy, after I get myself over there, you pay the air fare (from Pittsburgh cause a gotta leave my dog...
Royce, you talken about me? Can't figure you out; if you're with me or against me. Actually, nothing in thread is hype. Let's start with the fastest in the world taking apart a tree abiding my rules claim; all butts forward and advancing. Unless someone has discovered a better way to carry and...
Alright, think that takes care of all the jerkers. I'm purposely not posting the pics, yet, cause I want the ones paying attention to think about how they might do it just from reading the description. One thing this site is really good for is brain storming. Especially you guys on the fringe...
This is more for companies where the owner is one of the lead climbers. They know what it takes to get the job done and to bring it in on time. I definitely wouldn't train a lesser experienced climber this technique unless he he really really proved he wants it...
I think I could hang with you. Trust me, if you saw what we've got going on in Germany you would see that I am a team player. I'll aways be passive aggressive but they have a way a calming me down. They are professions and I am too. Hell, even Bettis doesn't really like me but, being one of his...
You too, hit the road. You guys just playen around and letting this thread go over your head. If you are any good with a chainsaw this will change your life. If you don't like any weight slung over your shoulder then you'll just keep on being mediocre...
