    Seeking Work Clothes

    I dig the lady's canvas, but if you're climbing I might try going up a size so that you have room to move when climbing. They are really only good for winter and shoulder seasons. The arborwear ascender pants only come in men's sizes, but they are super stretchy and comfy. worth the price for a...

    negative rigging

    Awesome vid, per usual! Always love seeing your stuff, man. Learning moment question for me: curious as to why your ground guy chose to not let things run? Or if the DZ was such that you couldn't reorient the stein out of the way to take some of the rodeo out of the day? Still learning and...

    Best saddle for Women

    I love my lower Ds on spars. Not sure how it works for guys, but having lower centers of gravity seems to really jive well with getting comfy, even on skinny shit!

    Chest Harness

    I chatted with @swingdude and threw together my own chestie. I like to call it my 'tree bro'. I have reoriented the attachment point and made a few adjustments, but It works wicked well and sits where it is supposed to. I do have an adjustable bridge though and tend to shorten it up pretty tight...

    Can you guesstimate how much safer you are?

    My experience is that if you work for yourself and don't have any bills, that you are the one that determines your own safety. If you work for someone else and have rent due, things can get a bit dicier. I would really look hard into the companies in your area, maybe try to set up rec. climbs...

    Women Climbers

    The lovely thing about the buzz is that nobody checks your trousers before you hit 'post reply'. Well, maybe as long as you aren't posting from North Carolina. As a woman in and out of the industry, it is nice to have a dedicated space here as there are a few old timers out there who haven't...

    Rope Runner Spring Set Screw

    Correct on the small button head screw point. Thank you so much for giving me a hand. Is there anything I can do to return the favor? I always have gear kicking around. . .

    Rope Runner Spring Set Screw

    I have been wicked busy these days, so I haven't had time to head to the local hardware store. Is it a size that is easy enough to find around town? Save everybody the hassle! Also, you are the best, Frank. Thanks for checking into things for me!

    Rope Runner Spring Set Screw

    Howdy folks, My blue RR spring set screw is backing out to the point that I don't feel super comfortable having it out in the field. I got it at Treestuff.com, emailed them about the replacement kit, and got a kit in the mail minus the dang allen wrench. Curious if anyone out there has one to...

    Best fitting climbing pants for women

    So I just picked up a pair of arborwear Ascenders(mens) and while they are pricey, they are the best work pants I have ever climbed in in my life. They are worth every penny and every bead of sweat. Incredible range of motion. Makes me wish I was flexible enough to really give them a run for...

    Best saddle for Women

    I use the TM and really dig it. I know that it doesn't work for everybody though. I know some ladies who dig the ergo. If she'd like to try out the TM one weekend, we might be able to set up a rec climb this spring. I don't have a ton of free time with grad school, but we could try to work...

    Best fitting climbing pants for women

    Hey Rich, I wear arborwear women's pants during the shoulder seasons. Carhartt and Red Ants pants make women's work pants as well. They are all regular weight and I would suggest going a size up so that she has plenty of room to move around when climbing. Unfortunately none of those companies...

    TM Second bridge

    Thanks, guys! I think part of it was noting a number of people having back up bridges(and wondering the pros and cons of it-worried about an errant hand saw strike?) and also looking into the idea of having a second bridge for a second system or to lanyard into. I don't see any pressure points...
