    Anchor Bridge recall for Cougar saddle bridge

    Dear Cougar saddle owners, Monday we learned that a climber experienced failure of the hand-spliced rope bridge attached to Weaver’s 2010 model Cougar saddles (units made since January of 2010 having a solid black rope bridge). No injury has been reported and no further details of the incident...

    He, he, he. I hear there's a thread on tight crotches lighting up on Arbsite.

    rope bulge in climbing line while decending

    I recommend milking the slack away from one end (toward the other end) and then tying that end to a firm anchor (or use a awl or pick to brace), then milk the cover down the entire rope by hand or prusik to the opposite end. If there is indeed bunching then untape or cut that end to allow the...

    broken ring and funny world

    All, I have spoken a fair amount on this matter and against the direction of legal representation. We sincerely regret having sold rings supplied by Kong SPA of Italy, shipped by Kong and in Kong marked boxes. It is absolutely certain that we (as a reseller) were not alone. To date...

    Ugh, calling for rain all day. Sounded like WWII London last night from the hotel room.

    short bury?

    Just as we don't stray from a short bury based on (detailed) manufacturer's specs, i wouldn't advise straying to a long bury for the same reason. Some of these splices are quite technical and may have nuances tied to splice mechanics that you can't determine without considerable splicing...

    short bury?

    Dear Justin, Thanks for your mannered response. To answer your main concern; no, the splice would not come apart were you to cut or even remove the lock stitching, at least not quickly and most certainly not without a visually alarming lengthening of the splice. Lock stitching is there to hold...

    short bury?

    i just asked splicing pros to examine the note and get back to me with their review. Our splicer first spliced and then disassembled his work to review exactly what this poster was seeing. The recommended bury is indeed 3-inches, unfortunately, when extracted from it's finished position it may...

    page 57 in sherrill mag is wrong

    No one's found it yet that I know of. Good catch Fairlead, your treat's soon to be in the mail. Discovered now that 2010 catalog has the same miss-order (correct prior to that). Not only that but really #2 should be replaced by #3 and a new image with rope over upper most horn replacing...

    Unicender reviews?

    Can't believe i beat the competition to such a worthy cause! Heck yeah, i'll toss one to Ron, as soon as they come in that is. Latest update from Rock is late May (i think). I'd like to see a lot more of this (unbiased reviews that is) -caveot- on our site. Give me a ping Ron.

    Cobra and squirrels

    That was you Rick? Small world indeed. In 2009 we had an incident in midwest where 2 incidents occurred to one installer on opposite sides of a large lake, indicating most certainly 2 different squirrels. Had i not chased down the details myself i would have had a hard time believing it. Rick's...

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice As before Casey, no worries. I predict someone will soon pm me about your discard as a spare line for a worthy cause or something anyway. The bottom splice in the second pic illustrates (perhaps only to splicers) how very difficult this splice can be to "drive home."...

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Casey, Just recv'd your returned rope and have personally conducted a thorough review. Against our (reasonably flexible) policy I understand Gary replaced your 200-ft Poison Ivy site unseen with a new one. Although I appreciate him taking my request with elevated...

    Pfanner Gladiator pants

    Boy, I messed up. A gentleman on another site asked why he couldn't find the above mentioned price on our site and i responded that i must have misquoted if i said 399. Upon traveling back to this thread i realize that when i ran the calculation on Honey Brothers tm price at $362 US dollars i...

    Man vs beast tree climbing challenge

    Mr. Mabry, That product has been $499 for most of last year due to a favorable drop in the Euro after catalog pub. That price remains. If i said 399 i made a mistake. Please feel free to pm me on such issues in the future so i don't have talk business here. Great video for sure. That monkey...

    PS - the "tremendous margin" comment in that last post should have been followed by a ;-) It was a joke. Much like the margins as a reseller of 90% of product in this very competitive market. You have to really love it to be here.

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Banjo, Your second post attachment displayed 2 spliced eyes side-by-side in one photo. I made a reasonable assumption from this. I'll save any further comment for direct conversation if you care to call me. Back to my other job.

    Sherrill's PI splice

    Re: Sherrill\'s PI splice Banjo, We have now thoroughly researched purchases from the person who's name you didn't want divulged. We find that this person has/had a tree service in his last name in the area you identified. In 3 purchases from us via telephone from 2006 to 2008 he did not order...
