    Petzl Sequoia (Non-SRT) 2019 Review

    I think the solution on the new TM will be a bit more complicated that it has been in the past. I think it'd be doable if you deliberately knotted the bridges independently of one another, but they may be too close together for comfort and it may be awkward. Still, you can hold onto the hope...

    Petzl Sequoia (Non-SRT) 2019 Review

    It's on my to-do list, but they're backordered so it'll be a few weeks. Yes, that's the plan.

    Petzl Sequoia (Non-SRT) 2019 Review

    Finally got my hands on one today, so I'm going to start with first impressions, happy discoveries, and concerns. I'll update this later this week after I get a few climbs in and get my gear dialed in. For starters, this thing is insanely light. Regardless of what the poundage says online, it...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    That's the one! I actually found out about them first here on the Buzz. Been a lifesaver. The big difference between the scuba clip and the lanyard manager clip is that, in most instances, the scuba clip won't let the rope slide through it easily, which is why I keep the lanyard manager right...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    I haven't found a need to swap lanyards in different trees, personally, but that does mean that sometimes I carry hardware that doesn't get used. I climb every day with 23' of Marlow Vega (which is one hell of a lanyard line, FYI) on an Edelrid Triton snap, adjusted with a Zillon, and held...

    2019 sequoia srt review

    Did you feel like the size chart given for this new version was accurate? I was looking at the sizes, and I normally wear a Petzl size '1' (accurate in both a Falcon II and a last-gen Sequoia) but according to the size chart on Treestuff I'd be in a '2' based on the waist measurements...like...

    'Tecnu Extreme' Poison Oak and Ivy Soap/Treatment...

    ...is crap. Perhaps others have had a different experience than I have, but here goes: So I've got some poison ivy on my forearms and a touch on my face. That's life, been there done that, not worried...just irritated. Fast forward five days of routine washing in cold water, following the...

    Tail tricks

    THAT is cool. That's like using a DMM Captain for limb walk stabilizing, but a little more quickly deployable.

    Tail tricks

    There are certain retrievable redirects that involve releasing with the pull of your tail, but I try to not have too much tail below me (ie. not the entire hank) to ease passing it through limbs, and I prefer to always have my tail capable of getting me all the way down, so I haven't explored it...

    This is the Akimbo

    Absolutely. Similarly, a few years back Oceans and a few others were talking about ways to pass limbs that your line is redirected through, particularly on the way up. One of these methods, that a few called 'chasing the prussic' or something like that, really shines with this device. Tie a...

    This is the Akimbo

    If you're secured so you can disconnect, you're secure enough to take the rope out of the device! Save the Akimbo, throw the rope through naked! EDIT: A few have brought this up already! To answer, no I don't consider it difficult at all to take off the rope, but it does become more...

    Playing in the park today. 150+ marked trees to deadwood. AKIMBOOOOOOO!!!

    This is the Akimbo

    I'll be honest...I have had no experiences that suggested to me that the Akimbo was anywhere near THAT sensitive to changes in rope texture/wear, and I've run it on a pretty wide variety now. The only thing I've found issue with so far has been sap, but that's kind-of a given.

    This is the Akimbo

    My rope somehow this week acquired a single 1" little dot of sap on it. I have since encountered this little splotch on a few different climbs. It's not a big chunk, or really even noticeable save under close scrutiny, but it's tacky to the fingers, and completely locked up my akimbo. I had...

    This is the Akimbo

    Anybody know what that shiny protrusion on the Top nose of his Akimbo is? Kinda early in the game for modifications, isn't it?
