    ETCC

    Yes, indeed, see you there. I'm excited about how it's all going to run, hopefully the weather will hold up. Thinking back to Oslo in 2002 there was that epic lake-side after-comp party in the - more or less - midnight sun. Great stuff! I'm open for a re-run of that... There will be a number...

    This is not about real world vs. competitions, it's about best practice. The comps should - in my opinion - be about setting high standards that can then be applied to everyday work situations. They should not be about really dodgy, speed-biased techniques. If this were to become the case, for...

    No, not me, I'm pretty clued up when it comes to internet scams. But I have been talking to this Nigerian prince guy. It's great, all he wants me to do is loan him $2000 for two months and the he will be able to claim his funds and will give me one million $! What a sucker! I reckons it's...

    Wagnaw, without meaning to be a stickler, but actually snaps are double action, but only single locking. What we require are double locking, triple action connectors.

    ... there seems to be a lot of it around these days. Even the hallowed halls of TB aren't immune. I actually find it very annoying. What I don't get about it is who do these people think they're reaching? Do they think I'm going to rush out and buy boxes full of Viox? Replica Rolexes? Viagra? I...

    Wagnaw, it's an issue that was debated to some length in the ETCC tech committee. The snaps in question are certified as PPE and comply with the relevant connector standards, that much is clear. From there on things get hazier. Questions such as are they fit for the purpose they are being used...

    Rope access

    Yes, that's right. Sorry, didn't mean to create any confusion. Interesting how it always pays to be accurate when discussing matters technical. Regards, M.

    Climbers' Forum @ the Baumpflegetage in Augsburg

    Re: Climbers\' Forum @ the Baumpflegetage in Augsbu Tom, it's not the same place. The other venue had really become too small, so in that respect the move has been really positive. Also from an infrastructure point of view.. here we have access to a 10'000 lumen projector for the formal...

    This would be another option: DMM's Rigging Hubs were launched at the trade show in Augsburg last week. They are a compact, bomb proof (WLL 1t, MBS 5t) interface to de-clutter and organise hardware and textile components with. There are many uses you can put them to, one of them being for a...
