    rain gear for climbers?

    Find some high end (waterproof and breathable) gear from a bike shop! They tend to be lightweight and very waterproof and durable while still breathing. I live in the pacific northwest so I think that counts as a good testing ground! Brands like Endura, Showers's pass, etc... and they all come...

    Screamer's!

    Re: Screamer\'s! It will be fine just to go a little higher and take a smaller top. The tree REALLY does taper out on top (young Sequoia)and there isn't much up there. It's kind of near (over) a corner of the house, garden, fence etc. It's all good! -BEN

    Screamer's!

    Re: Screamer\'s! Yeah, it reduces the shock load up to 2 or even 3 KN. I have never used one but it seemed worth a try. Then I realized I don't even have a heavy duty pulley cuz I always just use blocks. So i was trying to find a safe way to rig it up with one of my CMI tailboard blocks. -BEN
