Thanks for the clarification Guy, I did not make that video (there's no way I would haved picked that song:vomito:) but I did ask for you what they did for the roots. With your permission I would gladly post what you just said here to the source where I got all this misinformation (climbing...

I tried a buddies Bashlin pole gaffs a few times and they seemed great. For some reason I was set on Gecko carbons :envidioso. Granted I've climbed a lot more on Geckos I have a couple quirks to work out. No matter how I snug them up they tend to roll or turn outwards so they're not in line...
Thanks John for the heads up on the Double Beast, hope it comes out soon. I watched a couple splice vids too. Your right the locking brummel doesn't look too difficult. So if X Man is Wolverine, then who's the lucky tree guy that gets to be Beast? (or Hank if you will.) :confused:
