    treeMotion Wear-n-Tear

    Derrick Hulsey, knock the harness if you want to, but please, I find it deeply respectless to use someone elses misfortune to do so. Try to show a bit of consideration. Mark

    treeMotion Wear-n-Tear

    Well actually it does get shipped by plane I suppose, so it is partially responsible, but then aren't so many other things too.

    (Before this goes any further: treeMOTION is not responsible for global warming)

    treeMotion Wear-n-Tear

    Guys, this is getting ridiculous. It's a bit like saying "I hear treeMOTION is responsible for global warming". Let's keep this in perspective. FlashTreetop, try reading Chris' whole post and you will find – towards the end – the solution: [ QUOTE ] Hutch, you asked about 'replacement...

    Opinions Of The Trango Snap???

    One thing I don't get about using snaps on lanyards is this: We demand double locking krabs in the whole climbing system, but on the lanyard it's OK to use a snap with a single locking mechanism. That to me seems inconsistent. I realise the snap type connectors are popular with many people and...

    ETCC video

    Yes, actually I think Nathanael did a really good job talking about the comps. Kept it simple, to the point and – most importantly – without a hidden agenda of his own. So I thought that was pretty neat.

    Slingshots – the next generation???

    Ron, that's a neat idea, just... aren't you worried that with the head of the big shot facing that way round in case of failure of the rubber bands you're going to get it straight in the eye? The way we instruct using the Big Shot is to always use it with the head facing away from you and to...

    tree motion setup

    Familytree, at the end of the day, it's your choice. Personally I tend to go with manufacturers recommendations Kathy, it wasn't a correction, just maybe a cautioning. Teufelberger makes the Globe lines. I'll bring some over for St. Louis, OK? Regards, M.

    tree motion setup

    The bridge on the tM is made of Globe 3000, a Dyneema core line with a breaking strain of 3400daN for 10mm. This line is specified as the rope bridge on the tM, if replaced by something else the warranty by the manufacturer is void. The reason this line is used is that on the bridge you really...

    New Ropeguide(s)

    You can call a Primus yours for €314 (that's including German VAT), that'd be.... 490$. In Europe. I suppose you'd have to factor in export fees and all that...
