    gladiator pants failures?

    FD, I am certain that this information is false. On the contrary, not washing chain saw protective apparel can prove hazardous because the oils and dirt can matt the fibers such that they can't disperse readily into the chain to jam the sprocket. -------------------------- "What is told in the...

    broken ring and funny world

    Nick, We received rings of the exact and unique appearance of the malfunctioning ring from Kong, positively. Until very recently we were only reselling Kong rings sourced from Kong in Italy or, before that their distributor (US Rigging in CA). We have an extensive paper trail of purchasing and...

    Dynasorb problem?

    Glad to chime in here; D-lawn, my guess is that you somehow milked the cover during use, not a common handling of rigging line but perfecly okay. Did you use a prusik of some sort? Even a pulley and portawrap can act like a prusik if the job calls for multiple long drops of, say 80% rope...

    customer service

    Dear Mr. Eskew, Now that I’ve had time to thoroughly research the matter you’ve determined deserving of a public announcement, I’d ask that you please continue on so that readers can judge SherrillTree’s level of service (or disservice) based on more specific details. As for tree guys working...

    In memory of a splicing All-star

    To those who knew him, and the many who climb on his splicing craftsmanship, we are sad to report that last week LaMarcus Keith Green lost a three-year battle with brain cancer. LaMarcus left behind a lovely family and a lot of broken hearts at SherrillTree and in the community. LaMarcus was a...

    Kask foam breaking out

    Since first hearing of this matter (early September) we suspended sales and returned all merchandise to the supplier. The US importer insists that the fragile "thin bone" (as described by the importer) of this liner is non-critical to safety and has put that in writing. We have requested...

    SIP CLIMBING PANTS

    Nevic, I don't disagree with your silk screen sentiment. It will stop in the near future when we run out of a large summer order. We had to do all or none (at the manufacturer) for the first batch to supply sponsored climbers including 2010 ITCC champion Jared Abrojena and all trainers from...

    broken ring and funny world

    I have something to add here. In reference to the Kong ring failure involving arborist and competitive climber Jay Butcher, I want to insert details omitted from Kong’s issued notice. Included are details not previously discussed and possibly not known by the general public. I stand behind the...

    Send me your tired, your ugly hitch cords...

    ...I'd like to break em. With limited research I've found pretty significant strength loss in (old, used) eye to eye tails used as friction hitch cords (not alarming, just measurable). So far I've only tested technora and would like to test more... of everything. No fear in knowing. For those...

    Anchor Bridge recall for Cougar saddle bridge

    Latest news 9.1.10; Rope supplier for bridge is adjusting to blend of materials used for many years by another harness manufacturer without incident. Seems a logical move. Small allotment of finished replacements leaving Weaver Friday. Weaver has reconsidered the services of Rich Hattier to...

    Anchor Bridge recall for Cougar saddle bridge

    Woah, incorrectly spliced? Rich hurt? 2 people hurt? What the heck are you guys reading? Is this how rumors get started? I wrote nothing like that. No reported injury. Rich's splice not involved (in first incident for certain). Bridge rope spliced by Rich sourced from All Gear Splice supplier...

    Anchor Bridge recall for Cougar saddle bridge

    Purely for the reason that I've not triple confirmed, I can only say that he's a friend of the Buzz and should likely speak up soon. Bridge reported to have failed today just like previous one, severed in the middle. Nobody injured. Honestly, I didn't trust Rich's research before announcing...

    Anchor Bridge recall for Cougar saddle bridge

    Ugh, I've just heard from from the field that another incident has occurred and, very fortunately, the climber was not injured. Time to crank up this announcement several decibels.

    All, SherrillTree rep and ISA certified arborist Tim Bushnell from Pennsylvania noted the following questions coming from customers in the field regarding the Cougar recall issue.
