    SRT or SRWP?

    Personally I think the terms we already use are the ones that require long explanations. We use single rope technique to distinguish from doubled rope technique both of which are only using a single rope and the term doubled often gets missed placed with double and then leads to confusion about...

    SRT or SRWP?

    Isn't fixed more accurate I mean the line isn't stationary it moves with us it just doesn't run.? Right I'm not familiar enough with other disciplines and the use of static to know whether or not it would be appropriate but if it was keep SRT and just refer to it as static rope technique. I...

    SRT or SRWP?

    I believe if we're going to continue to use SRT or any S... it should not refer to single as I believe someone already pointed out Ddrt is a single rope technique. static or stationary perhaps but not single. unless we are going to put single rope technique at the top and then put Ddrt under it...

    NEC ISA SRT Workshop

    Donny, I have the technique but I'm still working out the hand motions. I'll get it but if you wanted to do a vid I'm sure a lot of people would be interested I know I'm not the only one that ties it step by step. That was the way I was taught and I never really thought anything of it until I...

    dmm small axis swivel

    Thanks for the info. I will have to put my hands on a few different ones at New England grows next week. I wonder if anyone is working on the inverted Gate biner yet, that would be sweet with this swivel!

    dmm small axis swivel

    I'm kind of bummed. As sexy as it is, it's too small to pass a splice or a biner gate through. I primarily climb on the spider jack which I leave on a pirate (wide top) biner. It just wouldn't be practical to take the SJ spacer and sling off. I guess I could try putting the SJ on an oval and...

    ATC type descender

    Interesting, I have never thought of putting a prussick below a rappel device like that. I don't think I'd like that much because I like to be able to move my brake arm around to aid in maneuvering around limbs and such as well as raising my arm to change the friction going into the device...

    Work shirts-Cotton vs poly blend

    cotton sucks! It gets soaked with sweat and never dries and if it gets wet and it's cool you will freeze because it doesn't insulate at all when it's wet. It takes forever to dry after you wash it so it wastes a ton of electricity. It rips so easily I can't usually get more than a day or two...

    Stein folding cube

    I would say they are not in the same class.. the faltemier cube is a top of the line product the stein cube is imo a very well made budget minded product. I have over the years purchased every folding cube I know of and I have worked my way up from the cheapest to finally spending the money on a...
