    Has anybody tried a DMM XSRE biner for hooking up the HAAS connection plate? Maybe it's too weak? It's rated for 4kN only. A regular biner is a bit bulky....

    DMM throw hook.

    Didn't the Cinch engage while traversing or what was the problem? A bit qurious since I'm waiting for my Cinch to be delivered. Hope I didn't order it in vain. :muyenojado:

    Hey Swing, what's up with the remote control next to the hook? Are you planning to go wireless with the hook? :sorprendido3:

    DMM throw hook.

    Thanks for the tip AJ. I found a dealer in the UK that could deliver. So 1 piece of Cinch on its way to my Captain kit plus some other goodies. Shoot, can't order just one thing while you're at it. ;)

    Seems nobody can deliver a Trango Cinch around here. Bummer. Found a Web Shop for rock climbers in Spain (!) who had it in stock. That would cost me 113 USD. Man... And there wasn't even a coffee mug included in that price. :envidioso

    Totally out of topic, but since we're talking coffee: here's my home vs my work coffee stations! :) I'm really hooked on that stuff....

    DMM throw hook.

    My Captain hook kit just arrived! Although AJ already did some testing with the GriGri, I just had to try it out myself. Well, AJ was absolutely right, no doubt about it. GriGri and the 10 mm rope supplied with the hook is a big no-no.

    I'm not that keen on using a neck tether either. A chest harness is an good option. Swings harness seems to be a good choice: http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/swings-chest-harness.29555/ I'm using a chest harness from Petzl: https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=1862 You can use...

    And furthermore, if the users of the BDB is called a boner, should the correct term for users of the hook be a hooker? ;) Anyways, my captain is in delivery. Really excited about it! :birra:

    Yes, I noticed that one of the pins wouldn't go in deep enough. Would you recommend to file the pin down Gordon? I mean, could it be a safety or practical issue? I haven't encountered any problems yet though.

    DMM throw hook.

    So you're using the hook both as a lanyard and hook? Genius! That does it. I'm getting one! Good info AJ.

    I added a small swivel on the tending point. Works really nice.

    DMM throw hook.

    Maybe a GriGri would work nice also? (Since I have one.)

    DMM throw hook.

    @moss ; would you say that the hook should be used only horizontally? I'm thinking it could be used to advance to a higher TIP, but maybe that's a bad idea?

    DMM throw hook.

    Seems to be a regular lock nut. Shouldn't be a problem to find.

    DMM throw hook.

    According to DMM, one of the feature is "Customisable nose weighting", but nothing mentioned in the user manual or the spec sheet how to.

    I climbed with Sequoia SRT earlier but are now using the Skylotec Kolibri. Really nice saddle: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=2145

    Saka vs Velox?

    What's the problem with the bungee? I have a HAAS knee ascender and I don't have any issues with the bungee...

    Thanks Gordon. Do you recommend to add the pins as a safety improvement or are they just "nice to have"?
