    Climbers' Forum @ the Baumpflegetage in Augsburg

    Re: Climbers\' Forum @ the Baumpflegetage in Augsburg Grover, the show is not free. Prices are on the web-site. 3-D rigging will be similar to the demo we did at the Lyon Technical Symposium in Cumbria last year and discusses what tools and techniques can be used to rig a mass not just up and...

    Descent device for secured FL

    Derrick, "rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering" this is not. Nor is it recreational. The point I'm making here is that we don't know whether it's ok or not to use the device this way from the manufacturer's point of view and the route you're proposing is the correct one. If you can...

    Descent device for secured FL

    Humm... sorry to spoil the party, but if you read Black Diamond's user manual for the ATC-XP, they state that the device is [ QUOTE ] For climbing and mountaineering only. ... The ATC-XP, ATC-Guide, ATC, ATC-Sport and Super 8 are lightweight devices designed specifically for belaying and...

    Ascent Event

    As a number of people have asked about it, this is the way we demoed the Alternative Ascent Event last year's ETCC in Prague. It will be held as an open event this year at ETCC in Vienna and will be showcased at ITCC in Sydney. The idea is the open up ascent, away from only footlocking, as this...

    ETCC

    Re: ETCC Also, as an extra attraction, we'll be running an Open Ascent Event. We ran this as a demo event and would like to open it up this year to all arborists attending the event as spectators, climbers, judges, techs or whatever. Bring your kit and let's see you ascent techniques!

    How was today?

    Matt, the eye is stiffended, yes. After I took that shot this afternoon for the next piece I actually switched to the longer pulleySAVER, that was actually getting a bit tight. But all the same, it retrieves ok, even in extreme positions like that, as long as you can give it a flick. Jeff...

    Blue skies, getting warmer... yup, I'd have to admit to being one happy bunny.

    Pretty good, I'd have to say... it's great to have new kit to play with.

    Beeline Lanyard

    The one thing I would say about using Technora or any other Aramid in this kind of application is that their UV resistance is actually quite poor. This is not an issue in friction hitch cords, which are changed on a regular basis, however with items which are kept in service longer - such as...

    DMM Impact Blocks

    No, only the large one. Size-wise it's physically not possible to make the spindle of the small one hollow.
